Sydenham Town Forum

Been getting 'network problem' notification whenever I try to text or call out on my Sony Ericsson phone for a few days now.

Just wondered if anyone has had the same problem and what might be happening?? Is it a Sydenham thing, or a 'Vodafone' thing?

Don't you need to mourn poor Percy first??

Hi, I live opposite the Kent House allotments and am thinking about going on the waiting list for one. Does anyone know if they cost a lot, and how long the waiting list might be. I've read somewhere about 10 year + waiting lists for allotments!!!

Probably just us - neighbour has rung the Electricity Board, they said they ESTIMATE it'll be back on at 6.15pm. LONG time living on my own with no way of doing 90% of the things I do every day. And it may be even later than 6.15pm. :( Appaerntly they said it may be to do with the weather!??? :? It ...

Hi, just wondered if there's a power cut in the whole of Sydenham at the moment? We suddenly lost our electric in my block, but I can hear a burglar alarm somewhere and I'm wondering if it's the whole area. Anyone know?

Just me then...

I just wondered if anyone else is having the huge problems I'm having with Freeview signals. I'm not sure if it's to do with the big block of flats that are being built next door or if there's a problem in the area, but my Freeview was okay, and suddenly is awful! It breaks up whenever a neighbour ...

Cool, thanks guys. Want to get in there with my camera and get some early morning shots, hopefully see a few birds! As long as nobody comes and confronts me thinking I'm taking pics of them like happened today!???

Anyone know what time Mayow Park opens in the morning?

Also, what time do those noisy guys get there and start digging that garden bit at the Mayow Road end?

Cheers.

Why can't they just leave Sydenham and the surrounding areas alone! I swear there is never a time where the road isn't being dug up and diversions in place!

The 356 is back to this end of Kent House/Sydenham Road now - as of today. Just saw one pull up and leave - such a nice sight to see! At LAST ...

Okay, well if you'd like to know the latest, I have the following email from TFL which I received on 1/3/10;

Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding the operational setup of service 356. I would like to apologise the inconvenience you have incurred.

I can assure you, London Buses are ...

I really want to sell some stuff in a car boot sale, but have no car!! (yeah I know, slight problem). i just wondered if anyone knows of anyone who would be willing to share a car boot, and obviously I would pay them for it. You can inbox me to discuss.

Just not sure what to do otherwise as I don ...

Ooh, really?? Jason Statham AND Billy Zane were wandering around Somerfield up the road I never knew...?? DAMN!

Am I invisible? I never get replies to my questions.

Hi all, I'm sorry to ask here but I've tried emailing various people including TFL and I get no reply at all.

The bus stops at the Sydenham end of Kent House Road have had another notice added saying that 'from the 5th February the 356 will be re-directed due to works'... I actually thought they ...

I'm sorry that has happened to you. But I have to say wherever you get a large mixture of different ethnic backgrounds all living in one area, there is racism right across the board. I'm white and have had it myself from other races, and it does upset me and make me angry... but I try and live with ...

Aww, love a happy ending to these stories!

APRIL!???? So much for the 10 weeks it was going to take back in October 09!!!

Why can't they just put the 356 back on it's usual route - I don't see any reason they can't do that, cars are coming and going out of Kent House Road at the Sydenham end! It is completely ridiculous!!!

Just wondered if anyone else in Sydenham is having problems with hot water? Just in the middle of running a bath and realised the hot water is coming out cold. Had to fill the rest with three kettles of boiling water and it was still too cold! :(

I can't work out if it's just affecting these flats ...

Anybody know of anywhere in SE26 where I could do an evening class to learn a language. I would like to take up Spanish again, but I'm not coming up with anything. I don't drive so it has to be local.

If anyone has any info that could help, please let me know. Thanks.
