There were large amounts of police and a couple of TSG vans at London Bridge station last night at a similar time. Usually that means some sort of Millwall related football clash, but I didn't hang around to find out.

For those of us in Forest Hill this is great news. As well as a better connection to Clapham, a quicker route to Catford is very welcome, as we often use Catford stations a lot for the Thameslink and to go down to Bromley and Beckenham. A stop in Brixton would be welcome. Yes we have the P4. But have you ever used the P4?

Yes please do post a picture so we Forest Hill people can keep an eye out.

Very sad. A well regarded local business, let's hope they can recover. Thankfully it seems no one was hurt. All transport fine in Forest Hill this morning but the air around the station is not good if anyone has breathing issues.

I don't really see the issue. It's taking up a small part of Goose Green. I was able to happily eat my lunch there today witthout the fair impinging on my space or enjoyment. I presume they have chosen that location as it is near the playground, so parents with young children often go there at the weekend. I don't really see the issue.

Not really sure to be honest, It just sounded like incoherent yelling and muttering.

There definitely a guy who matches that description who hangs around London and Dartmouth roads in Forest Hill. He pushed past me very roughly a couple of weeks ago at the crossing by the station and he was shouting and muttering to himself.

I did a really good course in the mansion at Beckenham Place Park last year.

I dunno. "Facts " like you can get to Crystal Palace and Sydenham Woods via Sydenham Hill?

Now you've insulted the 363 bus. 😁

Crystal Palace and Sydenham Woods are both very much worth travelling up Sydenham Hill for.

Ooh I'd LOVE a mini Lidl there. So much more convienent for me than Camberwell or Sydenham.

Community Fibre - £21 per month for 150 mbit/s plus TV. I think a package with voice calls is £5 more but I have not had a fixed landline since 2004 so didn't bother.

Do none of you go abroad. Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a tiny part of your holiday costs. In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night. The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.

I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch. But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
