Did I say that Jezza ? I dont think I did. I did however state that fear is a motivator here - how much that is real or imagined is another issue. -

Are you projecting your thoughts, while > shamelessly taking a higher moral ground than that > one the ones you criticise? Discuss! Nero I know, But I was a bit petrubed by the tione of the earlier post - and your are quite right in what you say - a few replies dismissed the idea of a Grove vale to GG roundabout ghetto fairly quickly. Down at heel, but survive and serve a purpose - not everyone can afford to cane their disposable income on cookwank and tat from the plush emporia of LL. Reginald Perrin would have been proud to see his "Grot" shops principle being so widely embraced ON a personal level - Its interesting / funny to see white middle class commuters visibly recoil and adopt a 1000 yd stare when they have to pass a couple of black yoof hanging outside the Maxin chicken place on GV - I think the GV area does seem to be a bit of a no mans land for mans, that sadly has to be negotiated if they wish to reach the security of their ED Homes -

/ turns on sarcasm YOu want to live in a "vibrant" up n coming areas with a wide variety of shops and bars like teh ED , but you dont want anyone else to move into your manor ? How about a wall around the precious ED ? Works in Israel doesnt it . Oh, and as to the comment earlier about Grove vale / dodgy charachters / undesirable shops - why make such a pantomime of it - just come out with what you really think - You are talking about Black Kids & shops that Black residents use. Now how can we keep them out of our precious up n coming ED ? /turns off sarcasm -

You can live in anyway tyou want and keep your property in anyway you want, as long as it doesnt affect the health & safetey of others. getting on someones case for legitimate H&S matters is sensible, getting on their case cos it looks scruffy and is lowetring the tine/ value of your own place is another matter entirely. I personally would get rather annoyed if the neighbours began to get involved in anything to do with the appearance of Snorky towers

I was being provocative - apologies Now that Smerking is banned in pubs, things have changed. I dont mind kids in pubs during the day, with the caveat that they are not ruinning about - I do mind however when they are still there at 10PM when im trying to get quietly ripped to the tits on fizzy lager and you feel a bit funny about swearing and suchlike
