Camberwell's always been cooler. ED is cool lite at best. There are and have been some decent bars/pubs but hipster behave, most of its residents are just not that cool its just 30 something middle class Londoners. Nothing wrong with that but it!s all thoroughly straight and predictable. The cool label for SE22 has me chortling muchly.

Fooking hell huge , where do you start with your utter rubbish. I think what the findings quite clearly suggest that what you label as 'rose tinted implausible versions of events, have been shown to have been, er, the truth. The heavily polarised approach of Liverpool supporters has meant that the truth has come out as everyone (apart from you) has now agreed - thank god they did go on and on and on asking for the truth and now, hopefully some justice. some newspapers did report 'police claims that fans had rioted, stolen from the dead and urinated etc, THe Sun reported these as Facts under a heading The Truth...miles different. Sheesh you are either ignorant of any of the facts about this as now disclosed or being unpleasantly contrary about it. Either way don't make you look good.

Sarah Beeney......yum, yum, yum

Both Heysel and Hillsborough changed my attitude towards what i'd seen as a bit of a laugh and an adrenaline rush until then and most young fans from the 70s and early 80s have some sort of responsibility agreed Otta, I had a chat with annasf about this once. But the truth should have been out years ago and the police and authorities tried to bury it. As for McKenzie, how he can look at himself in the mirror is beyond me, maggot.

I'm with Huge. I find the topic interesting too MM but Dg seems to start a thread on this weekl. There are plenty of old threads that she could dig out and add to. So I am a little cynical to her motives.

Wellllllll.......there's supply and then there is demand - and the two are very different.

The people without a voice generally are the vast majority of private sector workers who on average earn less, have far less job security and non existant pensions compared to Most Public Sector workers.

Well at least I got City right :) ....and the bar bust on LL is still a runner

I didn't think he had it in him. Personally I've always quite liked Murray's spikiness and I'd never trust a Scotsman who didn't hate the English football team

Me too :(

John Peel's influence and championship of the new is undisputed but he was also absolute proof that if you throw enough shite at the wall some of it will stick. He played a load of old shite often.

Rents is the issue as you pointed out earlier Keef. Chains push them up and indies go, other chains say ooh look East Dulwich is attracting our competitors and pile in sheeplike. Soon we are Bromley.

At least they tried, many people on here seem to be desperate for a soulless chain filled high street...they are going to get it in the end, sadly

What?? I live on a street near to both Nx road and LL and parking is a bit of a pain on Saturday in the day. A nightmare in most streets in Dulwich, behave!

You have been paying attention then Mick....

Move to Bromley full of chains that you love

Fracking will extend fossil fuels 'reign' by another 50 years or so and remove the US's need on middle eastern despots

It's certainly in danger of boring me to death

...keep chains out, quality of food aside they'll just destroy any character shopping street. I remember when Upper Street was a joy now it's a chain filled horror. from Cafe fooking Nero to GBK to Adventure Bar the writing is on the wall I think. Especially when the new census data filters into all the location marketing tools and the people in all the chains development offices say "hey, SE22 is coming up on the databse as a real opportunity for our XXXXXX aimed at soulless yuppies with no imagination concept"

Is that the BMW you've bought on your winnings?
