Re: What's akin with The Dolphin?

I had sunday dinner there a couple weeks ago for the first time. I ordered two oxfordshire beef roasts and at over a tenner each you'd expect to be spot on. The beef was disgusting and everything else you could tell was microwaved. I won't be going back to eat or drink, as it was also full of chavs ...

virgin media

Just before I blast (have a go at) a Virgin Media call worker, has anyone else experience problems with their Virgin cable/broadband. Mine has been up and down for the last month, before that it had been working fine for over a year. I live in the peak hill area.

Cost of zone 2-3 on oyster

I was travelling from sydenham today at 8:30 to Shadwell (zone 2-3 peak). The cost on a oystercard was 1.80, but if you look on the tfl website on the ELL fares page it will be 1.30 a saving of 50p per journey or 40% less. Has anyone else noticed this or is this a typo

Road Works in Kirkdale

And didn't someone dig up this area a few months back. And also annoyingly there's minor works at lights on Dartmouth Road(at the forest ...

I walked past there on the way home from work and have a sneaky suspicion that it will become an Afro-Carribean barbers, but again it's only my thoughts

I'm not feeling optimistic as to what it will become. The workmen there at the moment finished building what looked like a 'waiting' bench, one of those ones that you get at a barbers.

So I guess it may become a barbers, but that's just my guess.

Shop next to trophy shop

Hi all
does anyone know what the shop next to the Greyhound will be? It's used to be called something like Hakan (sp?) and was open for about a week before it closed

I've had the same problem with the Tip site in New Cross, there's a youngish African bloke that runs it I think and everytime I go there to offload rubble sacks from renovating my house, he's always interogating and and turning me away, saying that I have to get this commerically disposed of. So now ...

you could just buy a satellite signal checker, they're about a fiver on ebay, just plug it into the F-connector and see it you get a good signal.

The dish should be ppointing to Astra28e which is the Sky satellite and so it you can borrow a sky box you can use that to test

So what happens now? We have an application and a group of objectors. Can this stop the development or do they need a certain amount of signatures?

I also agree with Ben, the greyhound has been derilect for too long something has to be done. The plans for it aren't that great but they're sufficient. If you look at high street as it is now, it's full of grotty pound shops and empty units, something has to be done to give the high street area a ...
