Thread: Forest Hill for 20-somethings
Post: RE: Forest Hill for 20-somethings
| Although I'm 40, so rather older than you, one of the big reasons I moved to Forest Hill last summer was because, being single and having no children, I really liked the atmosphere and the vibrancy. I... |

Post: RE: Anyone else lost their mains water around Wood...
| I did, for a couple of hours or so. Thames Water were working on a leak, on the corner of Devonshire and Ewelme Roads (I think - there's a van there and work being done, at any rate).

Thread: Fiver Fest in Forest Hill
Post: RE: Fiver Fest in Forest Hill
| The FiverFest inspired me to head to Campervantastic to hopefully get a book or two for my parents - except I got there only to find it's not open on weekends.

Thread: Which e-reader?
Post: RE: Which e-reader?
| I've got the bog-standard £69 Kindle, as I don't often want to read in the dark. I love it - I thought I'd lost it last week and was ready to immediately buy another (luckily I'd just left it at work)... |

Thread: 63 Honor Oak Park (ex White Wood Shop)
Post: RE: Honor Oak Park Parade
| What I don't understand, and this is relevant both to this thread and the one about the Forest Hill laundrette, is why estate agents want to spend money on their offices anyway. Doesn't everyone look ... |

Thread: Reporting water leaks made easy

| If the one on Devonshire Road is anything to go by, it took 2.5 weeks from being reported to any substantive action. Something "happened" most days, to lull me into a false sense of security (traffic ... |

Thread: Post Boxes Sealed
Post: RE: Post Boxes Sealed
| Yup, inspired by this thread I had a look at the one outside WH Smith whilst I was waiting at the crossing and it has a hand-written notice on it that it will re-open on the "11/12 September". |

Thread: Reporting water leaks made easy
