Turners on Barry Road are very good.

I would also like to recommend Andrew Brock. He is a great mechanic and honest too, one of the old school.

Hi Julian I just wanted to say what beautiful portraits, they are stunning. I just wanted to ask whether you do paintings from photographs? Regards Judie

I used Jackie telephone 07958437501 I found her really good. She is based in Winsford Road. She made a good job of two dresses that I am taking to a wedding in Italy and is very reasonable too.

I would like to highly recommend Jackie who was very quick to reply to my message when looking on the EDF for a seamstress for minor repairs to a couple of dresses. She not only fitted me in last minute as I needed them for a forthcoming wedding, but she also made a very good job. She also does more intricate repairs and dress making. You can reach Jackie on 07958 437501

I have a crack in my bathroom sink, does anyone know of a local bath and basin resurfacing company who could repair it?

Haynes Dental Practice in Tulse Hill. They are very good. I see Mr Haynes who works and the hygienist is excellent too. http://www.haynesdental.co.uk/

I highly recommend Jack Boorman, he is a fully qualified plumber who sorted out a problem some cowboys charged me the earth for and who were unable to finish. If you want a good plumber the chances are they won't be able to attend immediately, this may be the case but if you want quality give him a ring, he is very very experienced and also a very nice guy. Tel: 07746-931949

There is a Chinese guy in Forest Hill on the London Road, opposite the Wetherspoon pub, I had some boots soled and heeled for ?23.00 and he made an excellent job

I can recommend Rose and Emma, mum and daughter, very conscientious and good workers 07930 424820 and they are based in West Norwood

The Honor Oak pub is good

I forgot to tell you bermygirl31, there is a facebook page called In and around Penge. You just need to ask to join the group it should be helpful to you.

Yes I agree its an excellent forum, very well run. If you do go this evening, they are asking everyone to wear pink but its not obligatory of course.

Hi Bermygirl31 Not sure if you like dancing but Penge have a very friendly salsa club in Royston Road. Its held in the Royston Club 85 Royston Road Penge London SE20 7QW on Monday evenings and once a month on a Friday. The people are very friendly and the teacher Chris is excellent. You can also have a drink as there is a bar downstairs. Tonight they are having a MacMillan charity event. 8pm until 11pm

Just had to say what a brilliant idea, I don't cycle as I'm too nervous in London. Well done cyclists
