Re: Swearing aggressive man on the 319

Tourette syndrome can result in outbursts of unexpected language, but it does not make people aggressive. It sounds more like this man has mental health or substance abuse issues.

Avoid, report, but do not engage with him. Get off the bus if need be.

Re: Hotel in Paris

I've stayed at the Hotel des Arts in Montmartre. It's nothing flash, but a great location on a hill in Montmartre, surrounded by little shops, bars, cafes and restaurants and a few minutes walk to the metro or bus. It looks like they've redecorated since I was there! https://www.arts-hotel-paris.com...

Re: Everything you need to know about the London Underground Northern Line extension

I feel this is such a missed opportunity - not to connect the new line with the existing stations at Vauxhall (Victoria line and SW Trains), Queenstown Road (SW Trains) or Battersea Park (Southern Railway), plus the bus routes that already serve all those stations. Is there really any chance of the ...

Re: Debenhams in Clapham Junction to close on 11 January

Don't think so, they're closing the Wandsworth Southside and Wimbledon branches, but not Clapham Junction.

Re: Grown up bdays celebration

My friend hired the upstairs room at The Phoenix, 5 minutes from Victoria for her 40th. 

You get your own bar and they do food. Don't think there's a dance floor though.

Re: What DO we want on Northcote Road???

The former Chicken Cottage opposite Debenhams (Wimpy a long time ago) has a Nandos licensing form in the window now. I'd assumed Whole Foods were taking over the whole block.

Re: Wandsworth residents can now enjoy free phone calls and mega-fast wi-fi from new network of multi-media hubs

I looked at one last night. To connect to the wifi you have to accept the following terms, which I was not willing to do! https://s14.postimg.cc/yyei5lri9/Capture.jpg "I understand and consent that my personal data may be transferred, stored and processed outside of the EEA."
