Anyone want to share a taxi to Stansted early Sunday morning?
Earl Aelfheah replied to all_star's topic in The Lounge
Sure, where we going? -
Is this the peoples popular forum of forest hill, or the popular peoples forest hill forum. The other lot are a bunch of splitters

I really like the community here. When I moved in, my neighbors all came over to say hello and welcome us to the street. I agree that the 'best place' list is all very subjective and that house price growth is a bad criteria, if that's what has been used in part, but generally this is a great place to live. This forum is itself a pretty good example of a local community that is engaged / interested in their area.

Nice housing stock in that picture and no doubt cheap. Ripe for gentrification I'd have thought ;-) Louisa Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I put my money on Toxteth in Liverpool quids. > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Derelictoxteth.J > PG > > Louisa.

@doveditor - sorry, I wasn't sure if it had already been announced from the blog - great news. @pokertime - fair enough, it does seem slightly perverse that high prices are seen as a good thing - assumed it must have been judged the other way round. The other criteria all seem fair enough though. Clearly a subjective thing (like all 'best' lists) and I wouldn't take it too seriously - never the less it's nice to have our home town picked out.

I am not actually clear that they've released the outcome of this years selection... reading that blog, it seems to refer to last years and point out the 2014 list is released at the weekend.

Agree it's all very subjective. The criteria though - that areas with high employment, (relatively) low property prices and crime, good schools and green spaces are 'pleasant' places to live, seem fair enough.

... I'm afraid that they didn't get any funding from the 'Cleaner, Greener, Safer' scheme. If anyone is interested however, I would still urge them to email their councillor. Would be great to get some installed locally.

I assume she means that, having grown up in the area, she feels an attachment to it.

I'm pretty sure the Sunday Times mention Iceland and Speedo Pizza.

Ha, I wondered how long it would take you Louisa.

Quite right too.

Trying to buy a house in this area is near impossible

I'm in favour of 'interference' (???s term not mine) by the way. -

I don't think it would be considered regulation, but certainly interference, yes. -

An unregulated free market is an oxymoron. Markets left to their own devices will always move towards monopoly / oligopoly. -

Yes, something crazy like a maximum loan to value (gasp). But instead we have 90% mortgages underwritten by the taxpayer. StraferJack Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > it's almost as if some sort of regulation were > needed > > imagine the outcry tho' -

Years from now, as alien explorers pick through the wreckage of planet earth, someone will look back at the lost civilisation of Humans and rue the apparently innocuous trigger point for all the terrible horrors that were to follow... the Picturehouse Dulwich.

My car broke down this morning. Apparently all the parking stress finally got to it. Inconsolable.

I did say a likeable one. Maybe troll's the wrong word. Certainly mischievous... ???? Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > A troll is far too miserable and malovent(sp) a > term for Louisa - I think she is an excelent wind > up merchant though....

Louisa is a troll, but not a dangerous one, quite a likeable one.... like this perhaps:

EDBangers?

Pizzahut advertise the above product with the tag line "now add bacon". Well indeed, why not?

I thought that the escalating arms race in pizza crusts had reached its zenith with the hotdog stuffed crust, but no. I give you the cheeseburger stuffed crust pizza: Bam!
