I wonder if someone could point me in the direction of a decent picture framer around this area? (Sydenham/Penge/Beckenham/Norwood/CP/Anerley/Bromley would all be fine).
I have a lovely poster of Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True cover which needs a frame. Or mounted & varnished (my wife's suggestion).
Picture Framing
We take all our prints up to the picture frames at crystal palace - on Westow Street, near the Greek Orthodox church. We've been pleased with the service.
Picture framing isn't cheap though - don't be surprised if its more than you thought. We have quite a few things need framing but can't afford it right now. I find that if you take three or four items at once you can get a discount. And if you are a member of the police family they'll give you ten percent discount. Take your warrant card.

only police officers have warrant cards....the rest of the extended police family don't....Savvy wrote: And if you are a member of the police family they'll give you ten percent discount. Take your warrant card.

I should have said 'take your warrant card or other ID'.
the incident(s) I was referring to were pretty despicable - I wouldn't really wish to imply that you were dishonest.on a related note I was chatting to a police officer and the subject of bribes came up.....something along the lines of "everyone has their price" (not my philosophy!) and he turned around and said, well, my price can't be any less than the ten years worth of service that I have left at £40,000 a year, plus benefits worth maybe £3000 a year, plus my pension of £30,000 for, I hope at least, another 20 years...... so its just not worth being bunged £50 to turn a blind eye to that traffic ticket is it?Savvy wrote:Some people are so silly. Where are these people's BRAINS ?? I can't imagine why someone would jepordise so much for the sake of bunking a train fare. There's nowt so queer as folk.
I do think they are in the minority though.
My best friend's little sister is a cop and what she has, and what I've noticed in other police officers I've met, is an extremely strong sense of justice - I remember when she was aged seven and we were 11 and she wanted to play with us and we didn't want her to - her sister, my friend shoved her into the hallway of the house and leaned on the door so she couldn't get out. Well !! My Lord, that child screamed, and kicked and kicked and would NOT stop until we let her out. She would have put a hole in the door had we not opened it. She knew we were being unfair and she was not going to let us get away with it or give in.
A chap I talked to through a friend told me that he decided to be a police officer when he was at school - he said there was a disabled kid in their class - quite serverly pyisically disabled and that one day another kid had pulled a chair out from him. This bloke said that he was so insensed by the injustice of it he dragged the chair puller down two flights of stairs and, er... bascially kicked his head in.
