Wilderness - the Epiphany Hall is on Bassano Street, is it possible that your friend Colin lived on Blackwater Street, which was the next road to Bassano. I went to St Johns & St Clements and done that same journey for school dinners in the early 80s. St Johns has now moved to Adys Road, which is by Goose Green park, St johns has now been converted into flats.

If i'm not mistaken these coaches are not for school trips they ferry the kids to and from school, making this a daily occurance. I avoid this road during school times as its an absolute nightmare...

Is this the Upland Pub, omg, sorry to hear that.

Can someone tell me which one of the shops is Vals?

Don't you have to suck on the tube first to get the petrol out? Lets hope the bastards suck a little too hard and choke... I know Petrol's gone up but feck me, how low..

I'm on Friern Road and travelled from Borough High street starting my journey at 17:00, walked in my door at 10:15 travelling much of the same route as you. got to work this morning and people who live in Bromley and Kent got home before we did...

oh my gosh, ?680... it's sickening. Whats more is the breakdown of the costs they give you. ?80 for van rental, petrol and insurance. I sure will be looking into trying to get some of it back - how lucky successful i'll be is another thing. What makes it worse for me is I never get parking tickets.

Ladymuck, this happened to me this on monday morning, I ended up paying ?446 to get the clamp off my car - while i accept it was my own fault for stuffing the ticket in the back of my glove compartment - i never once recieved a reminder letter not even the one that tells you the PCN has gone to ?100..... I won't be stuffing tickets anywhere from now on other than in my purse - to pay....

good point brewski....

While i can see how it happened, I agree with sandperson it was a bloody stupid thing to do in this day and age, years ago maybe!! thank god the kids weren't in the car. Hope the car was found in one piece and that the cops caught the thieving bastard...

I used to use that post box and discovered the same thing, that items I posted were not arriving at there destination. a few of my neighbours have also noted the same thing...

this could be the church on Barry Road.

OMG, philiphenslowe, sorry to hear that, I hope your cat makes a speedy recovery... lets hope the bastards responsible for all this random shooting at people and pets this are caught v.soon.

whhooo can't wait no more trekking down to Somerfield / iceland.

I sooo don't want Resdient parking.

where is this cafe exactly?

Adventure is alright, finishes about 2/3am.. Why not bar crawl the lane theres also the new Boo Hoo bar. The Bishop can be alright too.

Hi Leo, Glad you come on as well, glad to hear your making a recovery I pray you are not left with any long term damage. My thoughts are with your friend also - please keep us updated on his recovery.

Last night there was an accident about 11pm at the bottom of Barry Road by the park, does anyone know what happened, looked quite serious..

I too have also wondered that, I get the impression from the people out there that it could well be a hostel of some sort.
