I wonder who's waiting for a Virgin installation that never arrived?

Or even one on the corner of Upland/crystal Palace Of course, no-one really minds that the nearest is peckham, in the event of a crisis

Yes, that sounds a bit steep for carpet. I suggest you shop around. The shop in Forest Hill is good for advice too. Carpets are quieter and warmer, both considerations for children/draughty Victorian houses

My grandmother used to open the door during thunderstorms so if a lightening ball came down the chimney, it could go out of the door wihout causing damage. I wouldn't go as far as saying that anyone believed her, but we sort of hoped it might happen. And did it? No.

Lunch?

They replaced my bin in days and collected the bulky waste right on target, so perhaps you're unlucky, This may not be a compensation!

So, if I understand all this, it's illegal to lend your Oyster card to grandchildren/visitors etc? And you can't use legal tender ( cash - no-one ever has change for a cow and I've run out of calves) I'd like to see this all challenged in the courts

A warning. Don't go to Coolings in Knockholt if you're in a hurry. It's vast! People have been found hours later just wandering around in a daze through overload.

If I wanted old photos, I'd ask at the Local History Library. Up to their knees in them.

Thanks to whoever's responsible for these. Thee's always someone looking at them

Underground prostitution? You mean in cellars?

I can't help womdering if it's legal to refuse money. After all, it's called "legal tender"

Does anyone at Council level know anything about the new charity shop on Grove vale? It seems people are having trouble finding out what charities it actually supports

I've thought it was odd since I heard the manageress telling a customer she could get them clothes in different sizes which doen't sound like any charity shop I've ever known

My cat once brought home a cooked chicken and left it on the doorstep. "How enterprising" I thought, just before I ruined a pair of suede shoes by absent-mindedly kicking it away

I'm surprised it's Ladies going through bins. One would have thought they were taught better by nanny

I finally eradicated mine through constanct vigilance! You might not have the time for the sort of obsession required. As Whittler said, they're easy to spot. The first few, I just thought "oh , what pretty beetles". Mine got brought in when I bought a tub of lilies from a well-known DIY chain.

OK, thanks. Not walking distance.

Does anyone know if this is going to start up again? It wasn't brilliant but it was within walking distance and I miss it

Got stung by a wasp on an overhanging bush and am allergic to wasp stings so would welcome being able to avoid other people's greenery lynne

More children than criminals?

Why don't I think that this sudden concern for the welfare of the local residents is completely sincere? Didn't see much sign of it when the road was blocked by lorries and huge skips and sheds took up the parking spaces. Not to mention the total unsuitability of the project to start with. Could the owner have a fleeting sense of concern that the Council might at last start objecting?

No-one ever seems to answer the phone at Forest Hill Rd. We've taken to walking there if we need an appointment. Obviously this won't work if you're actually ill, so I don't know how people manage if they are. Waiting for an appointmant then seems to be about 2 weeks. My results got lost somewhere in the system last time, and the recaptionist took indifference to a whole new level Lynne

I know a lot of people will say "he's trying to run an business, and good luck to him" This is an arguable point of view, but there are. I believe, regulations about running your business from the street, which is what this bloke is, in effect doing. Otherwise why would people bother renting premises? Professional street car sales, for instance, were stamped out some years ago. With parking the way it is, I have a lot of sympathy with craigyboy. There's one operator in Upland Rd who's taking the michael in this way. Lynne
