    A jogger, runners, walkers, strollers, buggies and dogs are not doing 20 mph in near silence.

    Surely dog owners who let their dogs off the lead can control their dog?


    Oh, I forget, some can't.


    (not directed at you, just the other dog owners who are slowly turning young children to fear dogs as the owners can't control them. I have experienced this many times in GG. My 4 YO fears dogs).

  3. We did the Shoreham to Eynsford walk yesterday. You can extend this walk by getting off at Otford and walking to Shoreham first. Total walk time was 2.5 hours, but we are fairly fast walkers


    It wasn't particularly exciting as you are mostly in a valley, but, ITS BUGGYABLE!!!!! (though Otford to Shoreham is not when its been wet). Paths most of the way, good bird life, playground half way, Farm shop, Excellent food at the Plough pub (though a little pricy). The exception is towards the end when you reach Point 7. There are some good views at point 9 to 11 but from point 11 to 12, the path is fairly narrow and I would prefer to skip this bit with a pushchair. So from point 7, don't turn off and carry on ahead.


    I am looking forward to visiting again as its the first time we have done the bit from Shoreham to Eynsford. Also, there is a direct train from Peckham Rye meaning you can stay in the pub til the last train leaves. ;)

    I just had my bike serviced in Balfes ED and they completed an excellent job. The bike had not had any maintenance done on it since purchase 11 years ago. A few new parts and a general service and its running like a new bike.


    Once home, google searches see the recommended parts as the most cost effective for their intended use, rather than use more expensive over-specced parts with multi uses.


    Would Evans do the same job? Maybe/maybe not, but I will be back to Balfes.

  5. Hi,


    I just did a quick search for Goat and found this thread.


    I also recommend the Irish butcher near Primark.


    Goat - anyone know where I can get it. Today, Irish Butchers and Dennis did not have it. I can get it in Sydenham but want to get it closer. It does taste better than Mutton. It has a delicious fatty quality.


    Many thanks.

  6. I live at the end of Ondine road and the sparrow flock live opposite in a garden with a garage, also at the end of ondine road.


    I must admit, I have not been outside much over the christmas period and hope that the sparrows are still about.


    I will be on the lookout as they use my garden often. Come to think of it, the fat ball is untouched.

  7. Just a word of warning if you have kids.


    Our car was burgled a while ago and I was convinced I locked the door. I think my 1 yr old had my keys and, messing with the buttons, unlocked the car from the house. If thieves periodically check car doors, especially in Dulwich with a large proportion of toddlers, they will get lucky once in a while.


    DON'T GIVE YOUR CAR KEYS TO YOUR YOUNG KIDS!!!

  8. Wierd I read this thread.


    I am sure I heard an owl a few nights ago (corner of Adyd Rd and Ondine Rd). I dismissed this thought as I live in london.


    Sounds like there is a Tawny owl around. Maybe it will eat the mouse that I saw two nights ago that is eating the spoils of the bird food (wishful thinking).

  9. Hi,


    Just to let people know that I got into my car today and someone had been through the glove compartment. They stole a few things of insignificant value to maybe ?30.


    The reason I am posting this is a few months ago the same thing happened but last time they stole items to the value of about ?400. After the first theft I have been taking precautions and will do so in the future.


    There is clearly someone targeting this area. Did I leave the car open twice? Forget to lock it once, this can happen. But twice?????? Even so, someone either knows how to get into my locked car or is checking cars to see if they are unlocked.
