What bloody planet are you on. You think a tube driver getting paid 42grand is too much? why is that then? they carried 1.1billion people last year all spending a shed load of money within our economy. When Bob took over a tube driver earnt the same as a bus driver 27grand. now they earn 42grand so good for them. Only some pompous little wally who has probably never done their job or carried out their responsibilites would start lecturing people on what they should be earning. I recently walked from Nunhead to the Lovely new East London line at Brockley in 5mins, then climbed off my lovely new air conditioned train onto the jubilee line in under 15mins. Wow i thought what a wonderful new addition to the brilliant transport links that Nunhead already has. As I shuttled into the West End I thought the guys driving this can have 42grand any day. Reading in the metro on the way in that conservative head of Croydon Council awarded himself a 12% payrise, an extra 12grand a year to go on top of his already 115grand + pay, I thought good luck to them. so wonder on ....who cares

Oh right , calling you a bitch in response to you calling Bob Crow a Moron. As for demeanor dear it was pleasant I even said night night! You gave it out as you have done many times in the past so you got it back. If your mates in admin did not like it i suspect it was because one of their little friends was getting a well deserved and long overdue tickle. Try your attitude out off the blog, maybe next time you are out in ED, and let me know what the response is? Dont be surprised if in the reality outside of this arena someone drops a half chewed olive in your white wine spritzer. Now as for TFL i hope someone from it shuts the bus doors on your sling backs !

Watched Vince 'the hat' Cable today in front of select committee, they were questioning him about banks lending and asked why the chancellor had declined the invitation to attend. After his rather waffling response the Chair of the committee replied that they had the Monkey but the organ grinder had clearly chosen to stay at home!!! I almost fell over my shoes laughing.

Oh sorry Loz think I lost a post. As for reading the Gaurdian i am really not sure what credentials you think that gives you. Judging by your comments, none is the answer. And before you and the rest of silly mates whinge about the use of the word bitch, throwing around the word Moron at people you have never met aint very clever. " term for a person with a mental age between 8 and 12, and a common insult for a person considered stupid " I can only judge you on the ridiculous twaddle u type, so if the cap fits wear it with pride.

oh how you walked into that one you little divy ! Its cause you act like a byyyaattch ! so now you get slapped. night night muppet.

I agree, thank god for some intelligent comments. This woman Loz is clearly an idiot persuaded only by the stupid right wing copy that she reads. If she Knew anything about Bob Crow and what he has achieved she would realise that the only bloody moron is herself and her limited grasp on life. As for run rampant under Labour, what bloody planet is she on? Labour actually rolled back some laws to make it harder. What she is actually banging on about is losing your right to 'withdraw your labour', its fascism dearest whichever way you dress it up. If she can't see the irony in those 3 headlines then that says it all. Some of this lot have had it far too easy on this forum for way to long, its about time some of them got slapped down and hard. If they dont like it, then they should follow their moronic mate Huguenot and switch to invisible. Then finally they can get to exist in their perfect isolation.

Southwark may be the biggest gainer , but its not because of ED dears! And no way are Houseprices anywhere near some of 2007 prices! if anything its 4years of static growth. I think the best specfic indicator is what houses / flats actually achieved. Obviously if a house was on for ?670000 in Crystal Palace Road and acheived ?620000 or ?695000 in Melbourne grve and achieved ?628000 cant see how thats 94% of asking price? These wider figures can be well massaged, the Land Registry can not.

no i think the admin here are pretty strict, often moving all non ED issues to other areas on the blog. Personally I believe in the wider community

nethouseprices is your barometer. Muschamp Road - ?590000 in 2007 - 630000 in 2011. Crystal Palace Road - ?675000 in 2007 - 620000 in 2011.

Dropped, considerably. Don't be fooled by the what's for sale price they are achieving no where near this. 60+ grand below asking price offers and estate agents raising them to counter this. Buyers are not having any of it and are pulling asking prices down before they even offer. Its only serious cash money buyers who are going for the larger properties. Everyone in mid size houses, effected by pay freezes are stuck , they can't make the jump so the market has really shrunk. If Gordon had not ringfenced the Bank of England interest rates at 0% it would be a bloody massacre out there right now.

is this ED related ?

not as squashed as your little lot james, they have totally had it mate. Now your liberal mates are threatening the unions i see; blue collar workers not your demographic any more then?

They will be fine, u watch. As for the conservatives they will only ever be Dandies.

God that pygmy really did some deal there ! Also only just stopped laughing at the BBC 6 opening headlines. 1. " The IMF says that the Con/Dem plan is 'appropriate' and its not the time to change" 2. " The head of the IMF appears in a New Court to deny charges of attempted rape, sexual assualt + imprisonment. Should he be convicted he faces 25years in prison 3. " Vince Cable warns unions that should they strike over cuts then the Con/Dem's will " further increase anti trade union laws. Already the worst in the western world. its bloody laughable if it were not so serious.

Nice face lift, but surely an absolute joke being made to pay ?4.30 or ?4.00 for an adult lane swim. And in a warm pool, with confused swimmers going in wrong directions creating waves like the beach. Not to mention the inability of some to work out the differences in Fast, medium and slow lane designation. When the Olympic pool at crystal palace is ?2.20 off peak it just defies belief, is the water in ED organic now, or fed from a spring? Bonkers
