Thanks for the replies - sorry I didn't see them before now (forgot to tick the box asking for notification of replies).

Great tip about asking at bookshops for sturdy boxes and Tockerty I have sent you a DM.

Thanks guys... I will miss Sydenham

I am moving home and wondered if anyone has moving boxes they don't need anymore?

A lot of my stuff is going into storage so ideally I'm after boxes of the same size and shape so they can be stacked (rather than my usual method of using Sainsbury's cast-offs)

Thank you!

Hello - just wondering if you had any luck with this... I'm looking for a carpenter / handyman to hang some doors for me. Did you contact Anthony and did you have any luck?

Thanks!

Hi all,
I need a reliable carpenter (or a handyman with good carpentry skills) to hang some internal doors and fit the handles / locks.
If there was someone who could combine this with painting/decorating too that would be even better.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

I'm after a recommended builder to carry out a programme of repairs on the Victorian building where I live. It's mainly repointing, roof repairs, exterior paintwork, guttering etc. Because it's a pretty large building divided into flats so I need someone who's really reliable and can co-ordinate a ...

Sorry this is a bit 'out of area' but I'm meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow (Sunday) and Beckenham would be a convenient half-way meeting place.

Thanks!

Thanks all - in the end I took it to Laptop Repair Centre on Tooley Street (SE1) which is near where I work. I'd recommend them if anyone has a similar problem.

A nasty virus has invaded my laptop and I need to find somewhere locally that might be able to fix it. Can anyone make a recommendation? Thanks!

I'd be interested in hearing about a new one if you have enough takers!

I live in a flat in a converted property and am having trouble with a lettings agent refusing to remove their 'Let and Managed By' board from our shared front garden. Has anyone else had the same problem or can offer advice? It was put up over 4 months ago and has recently fallen down into the ...

Sounds good - does anyone else have experience of this firm?

Thanks, sounds promising... but does anyone know of one that happens every week/month?

Can anyone recommend a good pub quiz in the Sydenham / Forest Hill / Penge / Honor Oak / Crystal Palace area? Thanks!

I'm in the process of buying a flat on Crystal Palace Park Road and have been researching the plans for the park - everything proposed sounds really exciting, but I wondered if anyone knows what timescale they're working too - all the info I can find seems very dreamy with regards to getting funding ...

Thanks everyone! Lots of places to explore when I get my keys... fingers crossed it all goes through! What a friendly lot you are

Hi everyone I've just had an offer accepted on a property in Venner Road, and wanted to see if anyone has any insider tips (good and bad) for someone new to the area.... where to go to eat / drink in the evenings, shops, local events, 'secret' green spaces and generally if you think I've made a good ...
