High Street improvement/ lamppost replacement

So the high street is beginning to look nice with all the shiny new paving slabs. Nicely cut and snuggly fit around existing street furniture - like the lamposts. But why oh why wasn't the work coordinated with the lamppost replacement work? Now it looks like the slabs have been ripped out and the ...

Re: Italian Restaurant

They may just be testing the waters.

To be honest, I have only been into this restaurant once - which was pleasant enough. But I do know a lot of the people on this forum rate it highly - so it would be a shame if it did go.

Re: Italian Restaurant

Lee

http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/detail ... 7192e3097a

It says its only been first listed recently on the 20th April.

Well I'm glad you are saying that they arent leaving the high street anyway.

Italian Restaurant

Does anyone know if the Italian Restaurant Rafaele is closing down/moving or something?
I have just seen listing for it on a Property site.

Re: Sydenham Town Political Bloggers?

May be 'under attack' is too strong a word - but you're right Tim that my fear is that I and others may be subtly influenced and in a way I object to being so. My friend was leading on from something that I think he heard from some conservative blogger Ian Dale - that the Tories gained a lot more in ...

However, I enjoy reading the posts of the regular contributors getting to know their views and personal agendas and getting usefull tips about the local area ...

Re: CRIME MAPS

But after my initial nosiness of checking out what was going on around the streets where I lived, then my ...

My journey today on the ELL then Jubilee was also reasonably enjoyable. It hasnt made my journey any quicker - but atleast the ELL was cool (Jubilee not!) and I managed to get a seat all the way. My only minor gripe being the interchange between the ELL and Jubilee - whilst no way as bad as at LB ...

Hope your son is ok. I've noticed that there seems to be a few more dodgier characters hanging out in the streets now that is a bit lighter/warmer in the evenings. Probably not the same guy - but a couple of weeks ago, I did see a couple of hoodied up youths on bikes riding up Mayow near Burghill Rd ...
