Ive just found out that the massive post office in the town centre has been closed, and moved to WHSmiths. When did that happen?
Whats the point in having a massive an empty building in the middle of town?
And so one of the largest London Borough now doesnt have a post office accessible from the high street?
What bollocks.

Iirc, SOLFED did some leafletting and/or pledging about that, ages ago now, possibly 18months. That whole Post Office Counters thing is a pile of pants ... trouble is that people tend to concentrate on the Mail aspect when there's any industrial action and RM seemed to have achieved this Post Office Counters thing under people's noses. All of a sudden the great day dawns when there's a massive building empty and huge queues in Smiths.

Exactly the same thing has happened in Bromley and Woolwich. I wonder if this is a South London Thing or national. i shall start a thread.

It seems to take a lot to gee up the general public into concerted action eh. Maybe it's all part of that 'stiff upper lip' thing ... complaints then take it on the chin and move on ...
I sometimes wonder where the line is where people say 'enough'. What galvanises people?
I cast my mind back to the Lewisham riot back in the late 70s and wonder how the hell we got to the point where Tessa Culnane is standing for election in the area with nary a peep out of the locals.

It's national. The more political posters have been banging on about it for fucking ages on various message boards. But, as in real life, political people end up arguing amongst themselves rather than engaging with the general populace.

I have just this second done a rant about the Lewisham riots (and been reminded that Im not old enough to remember them!!) and the French and Train ticket prices!
E2a- Just noticed Maggots post- we've totally been sleep walking. I'll wait for your thread.
"You're not old enough to remember the Lewisham riots, you got x y and z wrong - I was there
What actually happened was blah blah blah drone drone drone. What we need to do is this and the swappies are cunts and as for the <insert whichever lefty group> they haven't got a hope. We need a public meeting to discuss this PROPERLY and GET SOME SUPPORT" Exit Melinda in exasperation

what the story with the Tigers Head and New Tigers Head across the road from each other??? Is it one and same pub extended across the road?

Wise men say only fools..
Good question there was, now closed, Tigers Head down the A21 towards Bromley, just opposite B&Q as well as another Tigers Head in Bromley town centre. Four pubs with the same name a few miles apart.. Anyone know the story why..??

Weird how perceptions change, I always disliked Deptford; I associated it with ugly run down estates and the filth and litter of the market.
Now its all artisans, cafes and painters.
I'm with you on the hate campaign of Deptford. Deptford was my first glimpse of London after Heathrow airport; needless to say I wanted the first flight back home
Pepsy estate 
Did you see the prog about the regeneration of the estate...gawd...it sure looks different now but still has some dark dark parts

Bloody hell, this thread has brought back some memories.
When we move down to London we used to live in one of the flats above Catford Nick and used to go to the 'Peter Pans' playground at the junction with the road to Beckenham. I used to go and watch the saturday matinee at Catford Cinema with a bag full of sweets. There used to be an open air swimming pool at Bellingham too.
As a teenager I saw Girlschool in concert with Diamond Head as a supporting band at Lewisham Odean.

Yes, I remember that programme, 'The Tower.' It was a pretty decent if inevitably depressing profile of a rapidly changing area, there were a couple of threads about it at the time.
Lewisham Council didnt come out well from it.
I see that Tower (the Z apartments??) only from the train window now.

Easy peasy...startes off on Springbank...past the breakers yeard, into Pascoe Rd.....along Ennersdale watch out for the learner drivers....past the Station Hotel pub...along Rath-something...quick foray into SE12 almost with Manor Lane and eventually ending up back on Hither Green Lane...past what was the hospital and in and out of the new housing estate.

Theres a little Tesco Express in there, a huge housing estate ( with glass balconies to give it an air of grandeur) and a health centre....no pub....and I think a do not disturb order was slapped on the huge Indian Bean tree and old hospital clocktower that both stood in the hospital grounds.....as they're both still there.
