Eris is a very similar diameter to Pluto, so would be the same grain of sand / bit of dust sized particle. It's orbital eccentricity is huge, though. At its closes to the Sun, it's a little closer than Pluto is, so we are in the Selhurst area again, but at its furthest away, it would be close to ...

Any one-metre diameter glowing balls of gas in they Sydenham area would have been well and truly extinguished by this morning's downpour I think. So we have grains of rice down the high street, oranges in New Beckenham and grapefruit in Forest Hill all lost without purpose any more

By yesterday afternoon, it had indeed vanished.

Now I have an image of a Croydon roadsweeper single handedly destroying the entire Kuiper Belt

There's a mattress propped up against the wall in Silverdale close to the junction with the High Street.

Out of sight, out of mind, maybe? Perhaps I should drag it round the corner and leave it outside Hunters lol

Yes of course Pluto is now a dwarf planet. I could calculate the relative distances of Sedna, Eris Qaoar, Makemake, etc etc from Sydenham station, but I wanted to keep my post relevant to what I (rightly or wrongly) believed to be the site demographic, who grew up with a "Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars ...

A little food for thought, and a bit of fun...... What if Sydenham was indeed the centre of the universe.... well..... the solar system? Imagine we scaled down the Sun and the rest of the solar system..... Let's make the sun the size of a 1-metre ball and place it ouside the entrance to Sydenham ...

police tape is gone from outside ladbroikes, I can't see any further up towards Mayow from where I am

A bit too close to Selims for that, me thinks!

I will definitely have to show my face in there, though it will definitely be more for the cake than anything else

People do love bashing Southern Rail don't they?

Just remind me again whose staff are going on strike?

Southern have improved the situation markedly with some tweaks to the timetable, but even the most punctual of train operators can't guarantee that a given train will run on time on a given day, as many of hhe reasons that cause delays on the railways are not as a result of the actions (or inactions ...

Thanks for the link. Easily missed without the name in the topic, I fear. Still, people can now find it via here as well, so all good.

I see we have a new snack / sandwich / coffee bar on the high street between Newlands Park and Venner Square, Has anyone been in yet to sample? Have the owners been made aware of our Forum?!

See it on the corner of Sydenham Road / Silverdalae a lot too. Mattress in the middle of the pavement the other week.

Bloody annoying.

Let me guess, Council say it's Network Rail's job, Network Rail say it's the Council's job?

They told me they couldn't accept a written cancellation of my contract cos they had to speak to be by phone to confirm it.... First point..... is it not standard legal and business practice to require that contracts be cancelled in writing? Not with these jokers. Second point..... how were they ...

We had Virgin when we first moved in (2008). Repeated and regular outages with the phone line....Virgin stock response was "Is it your phone?", well, no it was a brand new phone handset.... so after 3 or 4 visits (and 3 or 4 lots of p!$$ing about with work shifts in order to be in for those visits ...

Well I see the sun is out, sticking his tongue out at me.... hope it goes well

I just hope it doesn't rain.

World's biggest pile of papier mache.....
