Don't know where the Montpelier is. Remind me Anyone tried The Castle near Landels - the pink one It looks like somthing out of the 1940s. Like it should have been stukka'd That and the CPT really let this neck of the woods down One bright pink the other bright blue

Better not tell Spangles that He'll be round there sorting them out...

I've seen a few foxes around Melbourne grove... But not around Goose Green Are they Peckham foxes or bonafide ED foxes?

Where abouts, Sean? I can hear what I imagine are noises of passion at night but they sure ain't foxes Unless foxes can get asthma...

Quick question Me and the missus once "discovered" the old Plough about a year ago It wasn't very pleasant - one could say it was "chavvy", depressing and dusty with the smell of a grandmother's bedroom mixed with stale beer No that it's gone all posh, where do the previous clientele hang out?

Go to your doctor and say that it's affecting the quality of your life He or she should refer you to a ear, nose, throat dept at your local hospital for further checks That's what I did In the end I cut back on the booze and the fags and the snoring went away mostly Now when I do snore Ms Crepe gives me a gentle poke and I roll over onto my front and that stops me snoring again People usually snore because the back of their throat gets relaxed and vibrates at each breath So either sleep on your front (tennis ball sown into the back of a T shirt works but is extreme) or quit the booze... nooooooooooooo! Best of luck, Declan

Hi all Crepe Suzette and myself were about to put an offer on a place on Maxted Road after seeing it on Saturday We did have concerns about the area - purely because we had never been around there before - which is also why we asked for people's opinion on this excellent forum. Thanks all So we walked around the area for an hour on Sunday morning and again on Sunday night at around 9pm just to check it our for ourselves At both times we felt reassured and safe, although there was no one on the street and this was just one day - so it wasn't exactly a scientific survey Ms Crepe really liked the area and she particularly liked the idea of all the convenient stores and shops on Bellenden Rd. I enjoyed an early Sunday drink in the Wishing Well - nice boozer. In the end we'll probably not take that flat. Not because of anything to do with the area but because the vendor wants silly money for flat with small rooms (but a fantastic garden)! The search and viewings continue... one of which is in Chadwick road soon In the meantime thanks to everyone for their honest and at times robust opinions r
