Is the Prince of Wales still open in Cleaver Square and still a boozer if it is? That would be good if so.

Hermits was my instant thought and SJ had beaten me to it

Dog shit football takes us up to 10th......yes, many beers drunk

...or 'Boozers gloom' as many call it.....alcohol is a depressant.

The week he died we played Wolves, and I stood on the Southbank in tears...honestly!

Sadly, 'Sir Bobby' as we irons do call him, died before the 1990s Football 'Renaissance' had happened and Blair, folllowed by Cameron, started dishing out Knighthoods to footballers/cricketers/cyclists, et al to show their 'streetcred'. FWIW West Ham treated him like crap until he died too.

Saila and DaveR touch on something as important in the price rises. From the 40s to the 80s, even into the 90s the overall trend was for most middle class people (infact most people) to aspire to move away from inner city London, the ideal was to move out. It's a simplification of course but it was the underlying aspiration for many. In the 90s suddenly City life became seen as more hip again, there were more singles, people not getting married as early, the emergence of a more confident and out gay culture (which is pretty city focussed; inner city infrastructure and life had a linked rennaisance. I also think that changes in the work place including more woman, including mum's, in full time 'career' type jobs and dad's actually wanting (or being allowed/expecting) to see and help with their kids than in the past combined with job pressure meaning longer hours at work meant that commuting longer distances looked more impratical/infexible. So many of us embrace the urban - with smaller more expensive living rather than the beefeater and golf course life. The return of the city being popular for families again has driven prices; educational improvement; and gentrification of the inner city. Simplistic bit of Socioology but so what Comparing SE22 now to 1981 just highlights a London trend - In 1981 half the Kings Road was squats; places like Queens Park/Holloway/Kentish Town/Tufnell Park and Islington were largely dumps. Full of cheap rented housing - even places like West Hampstead; Notting Hill; were pretty decaying down at heal areas.

It's even more exiting down at our end......

Great night. Otta solo, loads of old faces (even from Surrey), making me laugh and getting me drunk. Met some new(er) people too and some dancing! Even an old fashioned hangover this morning. Thanks + Good luck guys!

Finally pulling through enough to take the kids to soft play :)

I think my kid's classes now look pretty similar though......

Tower Hamlets is borough, East Dulwich is not. Personally, I think ED has moved from a predominantly white working class area to a more middle class white area over my 20 years, it's hardly Brixton or Peckham. I think you could argue it's more socially diverse now, although the balance has tipped to more middle-class. Basically it's always been fairly 'white' and now it's more middle-class white....

Foooking bollox
