Post: RE: Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

That is shocking, what a mess. I walked past there yesterday and there were workmen there - it was nothing like that youtube video so hopefully something is being done to fix it!

We have had frogs and newts in our pond, and a heron visit it. I saw a pheasant crossing the South Circular one afternoon last summer, thought I was dreaming for a moment but there it was - traffic...

  Thread: Foxes in forest hill
Post: RE: Foxes in forest hill

Maybe no-one in Dacres Road feeds them? People on our road do (Catford side of FH) and the foxes are a nuisance - often leaving us offerings in the middle of the front path, screeching noisily at nigh...

I went last week, the upstairs "cocktail bar" is only open Thursday-Saturday, which I didn't realise and is a bit disappointing. No-one downstairs could do us cocktails - also a shame. We had some...

Yes it's a scam, we have had them in the past and partner has bought some of their things (we didn't realise it was a scam at the time). You've alerted the SNT which is the right thing to do, othe...

I'm going next week too, will report back also! Am really hoping it is good, it's so nice to be able to walk to nice places to go out instead of getting a train or bus.

  Thread: Pedder & Co advertisement boards
Post: RE: Pedder & Co advertisement boards

I can assure you that parents, staff, and volunteers in schools do raise money in non-"lazy" ways, that require a lot of "effort" as well! This is just one source of extra income for the school in the...

Estate Agents pay the school per board, up to a certain number of boards, as it advertises their business as well as the school's event.

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

I gave up trying to shop in Forest Hill if I needed bits and bobs on a Sunday as everything opens so late - Sainsbury's and The Butchery. So I would welcome 11-5, or 10-4 even better. For me, as I ...

I agree about the playground as well - it's fantastic for an urban school. The astroturf is great and there are "wild" bits to explore and play in. There are bird boxes and there is even a gardening a...
