But at least they are festivals with a foundation in tradition. Fathers Day is a recent invention.

Get over it grumpy


Happy Fathers Day to all Dads


I'm getting to hang out with my two boys today, and for that I'm grateful for such recent inventions

Well thanks Seabag. Happy father's day to me. But really it is a con. I've never been the recipient of any FD gifts/cards and I don't particularly want them. I have a birthday and there's Christmas. That's plenty to show they care.

      Local Carpenter - Langley Carpentry

      By karbar · Posted

      We worked with Eliot recently to get two sets of shelves built. He was excellent! Really high quality craftsmanship, communicative and lovely - I’d recommend Langley Carpentry in a heartbeat.

      18th Birthday Venue needed

      By Jellybeanz · Posted

      How about trying the upstairs of some local pubs like EDT? They prob won't stay open until wee small hours but worth a try... or night at Rivoli Ballroom Catford (too old?!) or somewhere up in town for drinks rather than hiring somewhere.

      Burglary Lacon Road

      By Jellybeanz · Posted

      Sadly crime does seem to be going up in terms of opportunists and street crime / bike thefts etc. Lack of CCTV in this area means it's more of a target than some neighbouring areas according to police (when they sent victim support round after our car had its catalytic converter stolen twice in 6 months by organised gang complete with balaclavas, iron bars and a chainsaw.. driving a 4x4). Crime still relatively low by some parts of London standards but a worrying trend if burglars are trying their luck when people are actually home. Wonder what local police/ MP thoughts are in terms of whether they could organise more community policing patrols. I read a woman was punched in the face on/near Lordship Lane in an unprovoked attack a week or two ago. Terrifying.

      Recommending 'Affordable Shutters'

      By Jellybeanz · Posted

      We had shutters and roller blind supplied and fitted by Affordable Shutters when we first moved into our house in 2012 and highly recommend them. One of the poles and a couple of shutter staples recently came loose and they scheduled in a visit when they were in the area at no charge. Lovely customer service, great quality, honestly cannot fault their service (shutters are made to measure so you have to wait but they're worth waiting for). https://affordableshutters.co.uk/
