West Norwood news, chitter chatter and gossip

Certainly they can - that's plenty of time - it's whether they will! How many times have they given dates before and then they've just gone quiet?
 
Bigotry was alive and well in Iceland this morning.

Our local celebrity cross dresser was in there doing his shopping dressed as outrageously as ever. A local meat head took exception to this and demanded to know why he was being served. He thought he would elicit some sympathy from one of the Muslim members of staff but he was told Iceland do not do discrimination and each to their own. He then stormed out.

Like for the reaction to the meat head.
 
The red signed hairdressers near Greggs has been replaced with a Polish butcher/deli. The big fridge looked like it had at least 40 types of sausages in it. Will investigate further but if anyone can recommend any I'll know where to start :cool:

The hair accessories / wig shop between Iceland and Sainsburys has changed too. Another nondescript grocery/offie I think, didn't stop to look properly.

You can never have enough sausage in your life :).
 
Went up past Knowles the other day and peered through the window. They've actually got the bar in and it actually looks like it's taking shape.

I suspect late summer is probably pushing it but it looks like it'll be open this year at least.

If you mean the curved bar behind the door with the mirrors behind that's been there for months.

I'm not holding my breath.

Ah. I see.

That'll teach me to speculate.

Actually I seem to remember a quote from somewhere 'Speculation is the enemy of serenity and calm'.
 
Oh the upside the [emoji173]️ Lambeth 'sculpture' has vanished from Brockwell Park & reappeared in the W Norwood park. Saw it getting a lick of paint yesterday eve...
 
*Joins thread*

Does anyone have problems with reception with 3 in West Norwood. I can hardly get any signal on 3G or 4G and I can't work out whether it's the network or if it's thick walls in my new place? It's a right pain in the arse.

3 is crap up here in Upper Norwood.

Welcome to the neighbourhood! It's lovely round here.

Come round for a cup of sugar or the modern equivalent! :D
 
My 3 reception is about 30% on Palace Road. Up towards Hillside, ABC Roads and even Streatham Hill station there is no reception at all.

I'm happy with the reception. I don't really like receiving calls, and texts are not interrupted. I use the WiFi for internet.
 
Coverage looks to be a bit dodge indoors in some bits of WN (the light shaded part is where it says it's good outdoors only). That's from the 3 website.

I had similar when I moved here with a different network - I ha to change in the end to be able to make calls and send texts indoors.

But congrats on the new home and welcome :)

Thanks. I was looking for something like that but couldn't find it :oops: Anyway looks like we are just on the cusp of a good outdoors only area so I will experiment with a different supplier :) Fortunately am on PAYG so not too much hassle.
