I've used these guys before (on recommendation from my Dad/Sister who had a place in WN) - though only once and about 7 yearts ago. So not an endorsement but local and worth a ring. Think the owner was Nick. Gave some good advice to my family re boilers, though only did some v basic stuff for me.Next questionCan anyone recommend a good local plumber? My one's just packed it in so I'm after a new one.

I think they all do when you travel at speed.

No it's always shit out of London. I get out a far bit and struggle.*Possibly* a bit of a sweeping generalisation there...

The northerner is on ee and O2 whereas work and personal I am on Vodafone. O2 seems to be the same all the way between here and hull,3 and Vodafone both wobble but when they are good they are v good.

Three is great for me in West Norwood. Their transmitters are above the shop on the corner of Norwood Road and York Hill, and another one a little bit behind West Norwood Station. There is also one behind the cemetery but that is 3G only.
Three are notoriously bad inside due to the radio spectrum they use but they have acquired some new spectrum that is better at penetrating buildings which should be going live over the next few months.
in the meantime you could connect your phone to your wifi router

Ooh ta - that's really useful to know. Will try that as soon as my wifi is up and running and see if it makes any difference.

It should make it perfectly usable. It is the same as having a transmitter in your house.
Welcome to the area by the way

Yes... Twice. Quite liked it. Very child friendly and did a nice baked, reasonably priced egg dish. However, took my mum who didn't want to eat there at all.

Exactly what I was thinking gaijingirl! Though we have a cafe near Peckham pulse where they love the boy so much they give him toys so it may be a while before I can persuade the family to swim in Norwood!

I'll take a look this morning and see how they're getting on. I'd be amazed at an opening this year let alone this month but you never know...

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Perhaps they had the build crew focused on the new Brixton gaff...now all attention on knowles.

Had a quick look. There was one bloke in there working, could well have been others out the back. To the untrained eye, it doesn't look like a great deal has changed, but I guess Antic do have form in opening up pubs with an unreconstructed feel to them. At least there was someone there, which makes a change.
