We had Virgin broadband for 18 months because one housemate who was already here when we moved in had transferred it over from his previous property... needless to say it was total tripe for nearly the whole period. Kept cutting out every 10 minutes or so, and wireless throughout the house was very weak. We installed Sky fibre optic broadband after seeing it was half price on the telly last month. We've had it since 1st Nov and it's been perfect!! strong connections and fast speeds. I really do recommend it - after suffering for 18 months I thought we'd be happy with any old crap but Sky has blown us away!

They will add a train to the timetable if there is a business case. The DfT's times are just the minimum they have to provide (as in the first train must be by this time, or the last train must be at least this late). Therefore, if enough people say they will use the service for it to be viable they will consider it. They do have to make sure it doesn't clash with other empty rolling stock/train crew movements or maintenance possessions though.

I'm looking too! Jags - I can't afford the membership Crofton Leisure Centre has closed down (according to SE23 forum) Harris Girl's School only has the badminton clubs, not private booking opportunities The only one I can think of is Bacon's College Sports Centre in Rotherhithe - I've emailed them. Can anyone think of any more?

It'll usually be a designated stop outside the station, so that the bus can drive express otherwise. It should say on the bus stop.

There are some just round the corner on Holly Grove, down the side of McDonalds and further towards the park. They don't seem to be used as much whenever I walk past. I don't cycle in London though so would still need further verification!

On the rocks. With a lil' umbrella, depending on the establishment. -

Jeremy, I can usually get a glass of pineapple juice for between ?1.20 and ?1.80. A glass of this in The Cherry Tree is ?2. J20 does indeed carry a premium but still wouldn't expect to pay more than ?2.20. This is not the West End. As I said, I'm happy to go back, just all the wiser. -

Definitely more welcoming and the food smelt good (was too late for the free tasters) but ?2.80 for a J20??!! As a non-drinker I feel like I'm being punished in some way! Will come back but please offer a choice of soft drink for less than ?2 next time. (Otherwise I will have to order a cordial. Times are hard) ;-) -
I was on one of the trains delayed by said track invasion. We got moving again within 10-12 mins so a job well done I reckon!

It might just be the person on duty in the shop didn't understand themselves so told you the wrong thing. I was once asked up north for ID to buy asprin (you have to be 12) when I am blatantly in my mid-twenties. I bought 3 easter eggs for the price of one the other day in London Bridge with exactly the same phrase on the shelf. So go back there and demand your extra Ragu!!

Yeah I know, but maybe the way you report things is the same across all the sorting offices? Maybe they share staff if they're busy? Who knows..

I'm in Amott Road and have had a birthday card with money not arrive, a book not arrive, and at least three letters and parcel opened since November. Been meaning to take it up with RM. How did you go about complaining? Did you just call the sorting office?

Can we still buy tickets for the raffle if we can't make it to the event on Sunday?

Man in grey suit on Grove Vale asking for money
EMR replied to Carol's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
When I was a teenager I approached someone for change of a ?2 coin because the ticket machine (at that time) didn't accept it and it was all I had! The woman who I approached (Yummy Mummy) cut her eye at me and said 'sorry' in a way you would say to a homeless person if you were in a hurry before even letting me finish my sentence! And maybe the guy had already exhausted his options? Just because someone is forthright and confident enough to ask the general public for help, doesn't mean they're a con artist! I wasn't asking for any money with my ?2 scenario, just change of it, but if I was in a pickle and with no other option I would at least ask someone. I gave ?4 to a Spanish woman at Euston recently as she was on the verge of crying because she needed to get to Baker Street and she had no money left?! As I had the spare cash (that time, and quite rare too!) I gave it to her. Better safe than sorry if she had to get her money another way..
