Compared to 18 years ago when I moved here as a whippersnapper this place SE22 ROCKS !!

Maybe I've grown into it but it's also changed massively, both in terms of the demographic and what's on.


Shame Sainsbury's closed down all the original butchers, bakers, grocers, fishshops but with local interest there are now replacements for them which probably offer more choice than the originals (I do miss old 'Dave the Butcher' on LL though !).


The one thing I was bothered about until a couple of years ago was that I always had to go elsewhere for my live music, now it's here most weekends - top hole !


Some folks started a folk club, some folks run a repertory cinema, there's open-mic nights - many locals endeavour to create things they desire but which aren't here yet so yeah I dig the place and DIG the people.

Mat if you can't find what you want here in SE22 and you are able to articulate what it is you want that would render the manor less 'boring', perhaps you can rustle up some interest locally and create the things you want to happen ?

    • I recall that when the meter was installed it it was not set at zero. Presumably it had come from elsewhere or was a recon one.    Same here. I phoned TW today to ask if there was a meter at our property (even though I knew there was) and I was told quite categorically that there was not and that our bill was calculated on RV value When I asked why we used to get our meter readings shown online in our account, It they could not provide an explanation. Our RV value according to TW is 547 which equated to a 4-5 bedroom property with a large garden. With just two of us living here then our consumption must be well below the expected volume. Given the facts, I am totally convinced no that TW have an algorithm that hides the actual meter readings when the actual consumption is below the RV based consumption suggesting they are a bunch of shameless rogues!!  
    • Let me get this straight . The OP  was hit from behind by a small person out of control on a bike whose father was not only not watching him but could not watch him, because he was not in a position to see him. Are you disputing that "side of the story"? Why would someone who rarely posts on here come on here to post that? Then the OP remonstrated with the father. What would you have done in that situation?  You seem absolutely determined to put the OP in the wrong.  What exactly is your motive in doing that? Do you always assume that someone is lying when you haven't heard "both sides of the story"? Do you always disbelieve anything you are told because there are so "many possibilities"? The father in question is hardly likely to come on here to defend his lack of care of his child, is he?  And btw there were no "casual onlookers". The people who laughed were apparently the child's father and those with him. Who did not witness  "someone being smacked into by a 4 year old on a bike" because the child was out of their line of sight. It seems that you can't even get right something which is posted on a forum and there in writing for all to see. Let's hope you are never called as a witness in a court case.
    • Still on the look out for CDs and vinyl.. around all weekend 
    • I suggest phoning before you go. I'm going to. It seems to be  only a small place and closed every morning, plus if it's only  one person they might  have to close the shop unexpectedly at other times.
