I tried the euro in a sainbury's trolly but it's slightly bigger than a pound coin & didn't fit lol. Perhaps I'll accidentally spend it back to the corner shop from whence it came :O)

lol 52 lurkers & counting & no response :0)

Recently I have been finding foreign currency amongst my change. I went to get a pound coin out to find it was a euro, now I've got a Canadian cent which looks like a penny. I think I've been given them in the local corner shops. I didn't notice at the time I got them. Where should I take these coins to get them changed back & will I get a pound or 86p for the euro?

I know, how about putting them in the multi-storey carpark suggested by mark88? Problem solved! :0)

It's not the same as a proper larger garden centre you can walk round with a shop & stuff.

oh no not again! I only read about this on here the other day. It was the thread about the card theft by Sainsburys. I wonder if it's the same thieves!

We need a Garden Centre! I really miss not having one now :(

No, actually the building I am thinking of is the office building on the corner of Crystal Palace Rd & Upland Rd (not North Cross Rd)opposite The Actress, that had the one way shiny mirror windows. Not sure if that is the one UncleBen means?

Anyway, back > on topic - why not use the original ED police stn > site cornor crystal palace/northX? I wasn't aware that was the original station. It's been borded up some time now. I think that would be a great place for the station, if possible.

Woke up the other morning to someone trapsing around on the gravel in my tiny front garden. I peeped through the window to see van called CCTV & Drain Specialist & a guy - he'd opened the ?drain cover & was pointing a big hose thingy camera? down it. He hadn't knocked on my door or anything - bit of a cheek I thought. After a while he knocked on the door but when I opened it he rudely just turned round to his mate in the van & shouted 'we've got access!!'. Um, no I don't think so - 'no you haven't!' I replied. I was a bit pissed off to say the least. I told them I was just on my way out to work. The guy in the van said he could see a blockage on his camera & that they would try & flush it out via the front & may not require access to the back garden for this. He said if they couldn't clear the blockage from the front, he would leave a note in my door to let me know so I could arrange another time for them to come back but when I got home from work there was no note so I'm hoping all's good.

There was no power cut in Hindmans Rd.

great service, I use it all the time too & use the self pay machine instore, no queues it's so fast.

You get all the freeview channels you're supposed to get in ED. You can check the freeview website against what you've got to see if they are all there, if not, try retuning. You need an outdoor aerial installed for decent reception, forget the indoor ones.

why has this topic been 'lounged'? how sad!

lol @ dumpertruck & 'jobbie' - you must be from up north? yup, I hope said person stands in it!! - see how they like it then!!

Anyone know what's happening? Hope there hasn't been a dreadful accident or anything. It's been circling ed area for a good while now.

ah, right, I know the loos you mean. I didn't know there was a nursery there. Sorry don't know what happened up there.

what new nursery?

the guys that used to go round the roads weeding don't come any more, well I haven't seen any in ages, I assume it's something to do with all the cut backs, pardon the pun lol

I wish I had discovered it sooner! I used to think it wasn't that great until I discovered you can get some great deals in there & I have intergrated it into my shopping routine really well. I use Sainsburys for main shop & Iceland. I go in Co-op for the odd thing - it's not that great, although looks much nicer now it's been done up.

I can see this might also cause traffic probs like on Rye Lane with their deliveries & that would be awful here on Lordship Lane.
