As an immigrant, I completely support this and look forward to paying a discounted tax rate since me and my kind will no longer qualify for this sort of benefit. What do you think would be fair? Rents...

Post: RE: Sainsbury's Forest Hill - Sunday Opening Hours

Would like to add my voice to Nikolarun -- Sunday laws are very out of date with regard to the way people live now. As someone who spent many long hours working retail in the US, I can say that workin...

Did anyone else in SE23 get an unusual letter through the mail slot today? Brown envelop, sword drawn on the front and hand lettering saying "Pass It On?" Here's an extract of the carefully writte...

Me too! It's the same distance for me to walk to HOP or to Crofton Park. I can take the Crofton Park train to Faringdon for thirty minutes and then walk to work in ten minutes. Or I could take the Sou...

Post: RE: Crofton Park Trains

I take the 8:36 from Crofton Park and very, very rarely get a seat. It is standing room only and can get quite crowded. That said, it's rare that you're packed in to the point of touching. My best adv...

Given how bad this week has been, maybe they should just start the Christmas closure now? It's not like we're getting anywhere anyway.

It's too darn hot! Which restaurants in SE23 have the best air-conditioning? We're meant to go out for our anniversary dinner, but I fear that any place we go will be boiling. Thanks in advance!
