...or just a horrible nagging dread that you're stuck in a pretty victorian suburb with a bit of character rather than the movers and shakers in W14 (or whatever it is)?

Come on Jessie, What you got? A house on the market you can't shift?

Dulwich College's is a big draw for SE22 appraently....... ?15k a year (day fees), I'd sure as hell be slumming it in an SE22 terrace if I could fork out ?15k a year (post tax) on just one of my kids' education, maybe that's why I haven't met ANYONE in 18 years who lives in SE22 and sends their kids to Dulwich College (i'm sure a few exist) but a 'big draw'? Behave.

Some of us are just taking the p1ss Marianne Coming next in Jessie's SE London property Guide Loughborough Junction - is it the new South Kensington? :))

ok. Housing. Where are there ANY houses the size or granduer of the average house in Notting Hill? Most of them (SE22) would fit in the halls of Notting Hill properties...

No mate I've only lived here since 1994, I#ve never been up that way, where is it? Does Hugh Grant have a bookshop anywhere locally? Is North Cross road a world famous market? Is there an annual carnival up Lordship Lane? Is SE22 full of a bunch of wanky, pretentious, overpaid cooonts etc, etc?

.....are you an estate agent or have you been on the Charlie tonight? Or both?

...like a scavanger on a Nairobi rubbish dump I search for some pearls among the crap...there's less of them.

Look... the housing stock's not that great it's quite pretty but it's largely small with minimum gardens the schools at primary level (non-Private) are ok that's all. Secondary, no thanks.... It's actually pretty poor for transport, except for possiblt the City (is that meeeja types favourite hang out?). Thec West End is shite from here although Hoxton etc is ok if you want to troll up to Forest Hill. I like it here but FFS get some perspective.

it's from the mouths of Estate Agents..IT MUST BE TRUE! Load of cock. The new Clapham North maybe.

PS you should also not rise to my stuff nearly as quickly a lesson that that old fella SeanMc learnt many moons ago

Come on David I contribute plenty of serious stuff in the Drawing Room and elsewhere, even when an honest invitation to debate results in a pile of vitriolic, frothing at the mouth slurring (to mention no names). I'm regularly in the economic debates, don't see you much in them but being a socialist I guess you've no interest in Economimcs ;-) I hold impeccably liberal views on the death penalty, racism and foreighn aid to name but 3. (ooh and Foie Gras by the way) I'm happy to have a seriuos debate on Climate Change but suspect that our views on that are ther same, it's happening and it's man made, but for the interest of our economic well being AND THE FUTURE OF OUR WELFARE STATE I'm not that keen that we export our jobs and pollution to competitor economies that couldn't give a fig. I'm also in the 'bridging' theory that we use Carbon based fuels for now (and for me Nuclear too), especially the cleaner ones combined with cleaner technology, whilst we try and develop non-carbon based ones that can actually match our demand - we are miles away from this at the moment. We have a platform for developing efficient manufacturing, it's our modern high-tech industries (including car manufacturing) it's where all the workforce work in partnership to try and develop profits, decent working conditions and rfair pay and jobs (ie Honda in Swindon/Nissan in the NE)and not one where belligerent communist/socialist union fight outdated battles from eons ago. (a la Bob Crow and half the Public Sector ones)

Councillors like money And they are supported by a small number of anti-car luddites who seem to think everyone else shares their smug 'idealism' and that parking restrictions mean no change for people from outside SE22 (say SE21, SE24, SE5) who will happily jump on a bus/train to pop down for some nick/nacks, foodies stuff or a beer/wine on the weekend. It'll ruin SE22 as it has plenty of other places - many independent businesses here are on wafer thin margins and finding it tough enough in the recssion. Parking restriction evangicals FIGHT them, they are idiots.

I only said blow the bloody doors off

The wicket in gd shape...ahem

I'm glad Huhne's gone..maybe they'll get someone in into his post (environment) who isn't so keen on burdening british businesses (especially manufacturing) with massive 'tax' in the form of expensive green energy and thus further underminding our competitiveness and actually doing bugger all for the environment other than exportiing the pollution to foreighn manufacturers who undercut us partly as a result of their far cheaper carbon energy use...still makes the usual supects comfortably smug as we get further left behind global trade. Still Evenn more amazing as many of the 'progressives' are always decrying the death of our manufacturing yet they want to add on costs with 'lovely' (read unreliable expensive) wind farm produced electricity. 'Progressives' in not really thinking things through shocker.

Anyway, Dave 'junmp on any passing bandwagon' Cameron has achieved sometinhg I never thought possible, I actually feel a bit sorry for Fred Goodwin. You can see why Blair is Cameron's hero, it's not govt by principle or even with a strategy it's just politics for the mob. Apostrophes etc

UDT - you knew about Gearing in the 90s and then were surprised theat the banks were using it in 2008 :-S

It's 'just' football tribalism. Is that right? Probably not Is it racism? Probably not Do Livepudlians thrive in victomhood? Possibly

Ahh . Ratty wins I reckon, my missus has put some security ting on for the kids methink ; ) Cheers

cheers for advice sJ sorry I went AWOL unexpected. Think it may be I've an old version of I-Tunes but it's not giving me an download prompt :-S
