Skuds’ Sister’s Brother

We got called out to the community centre today to try and shut off the fire alarms.  Actually Jayne got called and I tagged along in case I could help.

My good deed for today was nothing more than persuading someone else to do a good deed, not that he took much persuading.  The Broadfield Community Centre was recently given a decent network colour laser printer.  Last week I wired it all up to their hub and then ran into a brick wall when I […]

Last week the Broadfield Community Centre office finally found the details of the lady who bought my services at the charity auction back in August. I suppose it was inevitable, but when I called to see about going to sort out her computer the phone line was out of order.

I had a very strange phone call the other day. It was a chap from a local paper asking me if I knew why Councillor Alan Quirk had resigned from the management committee of the Broadfield Youth & Community Centre.
On the face of it a reasonable question, but I have not been involved in […]

After looking forward to the Croydon World Party for months now, I realised yesterday that it clashes with the Broadfield community centre fete - the highlight of Broadfield’s social calendar as any fule no.
Also it clashes with Crawley Town’s friendly against Milwall - and how often do you see “Millwall” and “friendly” in the same […]
