Crikey, having done a search and found this thread, I just went to Timpsons to get my watch battery replaced.


I thought the guy said it would be ?1.95, and I went off to do some shopping in Sainsbury's while he did it.


When I went to collect it, it turned out to be ?9.95!!!!!


So he took the battery out again ......


My watch is a bog standard Casio. It's cheaper for me to get a new one, in fact I've just ordered one for just over a fiver with free delivery.


I realise I need to get my hearing tested, however a tenner for replacing a watch battery seems exorbitant to me. If memory serves, the nice man who used to have a stall in the market where Brick House is now didn't charge anything like that??

Not strictly in ED but I go to the man just inside the Peckham Arcade on the right who charges ?5. That said, I get mad each time as on very single occasion I've been there he serves men in the queue first, regardless of the fact that the women are waiting their turn patiently. I always speak up as it drives me crackers and he sighs and then serves me. I do like a bargain but I emerge furious every time!

      I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't.

      It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤

      Information Collision with parked car

      By FriendsOfTheTerrapin · Posted

      Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
