Mmm good work Andy. Many thanks - seems quite poignant in its current state.


And of course you are allowed to resurrect old threads - in fact, it is positively encouraged compared to starting a new one on subjects that have been covered in the past.


Keep up the good work.


David.

I moved to ED, Heber Road, in 2001 and the pub although closed was still the same as it looks in the photo from all_star above.

I think it was converted to flats shortly after that, maybe 2002. Great shame as it would be nice to have a pub on the same road as you live on. My then neighbour "Pete" said he used to run the pool team there before it shut, but he was a man of poor personal hygiene, so hope he was not typical of their clientele.

Yes that's right.. I went there once on a Sunday (1982) with my then wife.. only to find there were strippers..


And if that was not Odd enough, the Garden was open and there were Kids going back and forth throughout the pub.


For Fox Sake

My Uncle & Aunt, Sonny & Nell Vincent lived next door to the Heber Arms, at No. 7,

from before WWII until they died, Sonny in 1972 and Nell in 1974.


My Father used to take our Family to visit his brother when we lived in Herne Hill,

and we walked through Townley Road to get the No. 37 bus home -

how I hated that walk in the dark.

This was my familys local growing up! I was often given 50p and a bottle of coke to go and play while dad had his pint! Always handy that i went to the primary school next door so dad never wasted beer time! Kill 2 birds with 1 stone! Pick me up and have a pint! Haha! The good old days!!!

My friend bought that flat - we did venture down the basement (with a little Dutch courage) and it was very basement like. I agree - a bit creepy. But we faced our fears!

    • Android phone with EE network on a £10/mo sub works fine for my needs ie. WhatsApp, plenty of data, calls and texts. Can't comment on iPhone, Apple don't exist in my world. Security-wise I guess the nightmare is getting your phone nicked while it's in an unlocked state, or another thing they do is surreptitiously video you from a distance typing in the passcode then nick it. Banking on the phone sounds iffy too because the 2FA (2 factor authentication) is the phone itself, yeah right.
    • Sorry if I offended you. I was trying to be helpful. I did not mean to imply you know nothing about WiFi, but I have found as I said that connecting away from home can sometimes be difficult, especially when travelling. On at least one occasion I found that the reason I couldn't connect to the WiFi  was because I wasn't doing things correctly, and on  other occasions the problem was with the Oxford Tube WiFi. If you can connect OK to free WiFi elsewhere, would that not seem to imply that the problem is specifically with the train and station WiFi? So either there is something wrong at their end, or (if other people can connect to it at a time when you can't) something wrong at your end, which could be the phone, but why would it connect to free WiFi at other places but not on trains?  I don't have the name of a reputable phone shop, sorry. What I actually meant by that was that I would avoid shops like the many small phone shops  in Peckham. I didn't particularly want to spell that out. I'm sure some of them are fine, but my daughter had a phone battery replaced at one, and it failed very  shortly afterwards. Unless you have a recommendation for an independent phone shop from a reliable source, I would stick to the major high street phone shops? I am with iD. They have various ways to contact them, including online chat. I just had a look. You say you are classified as a vulnerable person, and their website says they have special provisions for vulnerable people? There is a link on their website to find out more. I'm not sure why you would not want to use those provisions if they might get you help more quickly? I imagine that is what they are there for? But to the best of my knowledge the WiFi problems you are having  would have nothing to do with  your phone call supplier? I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I only asked the phone's age in case that was a contributing factor. If it's only 2 or 3 years old, then of course it shouldn't be.  Yes I'm having problems with my laptop, but I'm not sure why that's relevant? I only bought it in May,  it's still under guarantee,  it developed a clear fault out of the blue,  it's been a pain, and I'm very grateful to the local people who have helped. I never claimed to be any kind of technical expert, far far from it. I'm in my mid seventies and technology is a complete mystery to me 🤣 Anyway, again, I'm sorry if you were offended by anything I said, and I hope you will get things sorted out soon. Just noticed you said you have "regular scams" as well. I think we all get those, at least I do!  You should be able to report the phone number as spam and also block the number (and similarly for emails) however sadly I think it's pretty impossible to get rid of them altogether. I save the number in my contacts as spam, so if it should get through again it comes up marked as spam, and I just don't answer it. If I get a call from a number I don't recognise I do usually answer it, as sometimes it's a genuine call, but if it's spam I just tell them to eff off (except I don't say eff) and then block the number.
    • Hi everyone  I'm after a bunch of old magazines for a collage I'd like to make. If you have any you'd like to pass on/get rid of I'd love to take them off your hands! A mix of titles would be fab but anything would be great, even just one or two! Thank you  Daisy
