What happened to the other Uplands thread? I don't think it's necessary to label ED as either a village or a town or anything else. I just think to call something a village within a City is a bit odd, unless there are historical reasons for it, and we already have Dulwich Village just up the road. Sorry but I think to call a bar "The Villager" is just odd. Just my opinion. The Page 2 Bar (?) called itself The Village Inn or something of that ilk a couple of years back in one of its brief incarnations, and the first time I saw the name I just thought, that's so not right.

Baby Please Don't Go - The Animals (one of the first singles I ever bought btw :)) )

Ah bless :)

My ex used to buy stuff from them (in ED) because he felt sorry for them. Must have been in the nineties. It was always total rubbish and very expensive.

Hmmm. Thanks ianr, just looked at the website. Seems actually what this is about is getting one partner to do stuff in the house without the agreement of or knowledge of the other, and then filming the resultant arguments :-S I thought "mad about the house" meant enthusiasm - apparently it actually means, erm, ANGER. Aka good TV. Of course I could be completely wrong ...... Think I'd rather stay friends/lovers with my partner than get ten grand for doing the house up in a way I might hate, but hey, that's just me :) :-S

One on the way to the station and there used to be one at the bottom of Upland Road, not sure if that's still there though.

Maybe he doesn't realise how far his voice is carrying? Could you put a polite note through the door perhaps (not now!) You don't have to put your name on it.

There was a lot of publicity about this a few years back. It's not a charity, and it's not a scheme for unemployed people. It's a scheme for someone to make a lot of money selling tat.

What a honey :))

I think it's the N176 at night but I might be wrong. Runs every half hour at night, ditto.

Was the car driver prosecuted?

The Great Valerio - Richard Thompson

Having read the stats about the percentages of children who survive being hit by a car travelling at 20mph (9 out of 10) compared to 40mph (only 1 in 10), I'm voting for the 20mph limit. I already have it in my road. I think people drive much too fast down side roads round here, and I'm amazed there are not more accidents.

Well if he did have a covered up face, what more description do you want? Apart from height, clothes.

All You Need Is Love - Beatles

James Barber has been very helpful in various issues I've been involved in. I also wonder why, with an election coming up, the OP feels it necessary to say what political party JB belongs to (which by the way I don't vote for).

John Barleycorn - Knights of the Occasional Table :)-D

I read that as "Mouse Irradiation Day" - mass mouse X-ray maybe :)

Cum On Feel the Noize - Martin Carthy (f-ing brilliant version btw!)

I'm sure you're right, but depends how many pennies you have. Sometimes they have to be spent on, er, things like food :)
