nope by 1989 the London was turning round - thanks to her that can't be named - I am talking eary 80s not '89, (so not within your 25 year point of reference) but the turnaround was started in the 80s and even the early '90s recession just dented it and it's carried on. It's not pish go and look at London population trends. Remeber squarts everywhere? hard to let council flats given to students etc etc? Did these things not happen? Anti-immigrant pieces/nratives are not a reflection of reality - but of bigotness, so to tie them up with some kind of meausre of the popularity of housing is a bit bizzarre?

...all my student places, and my contremporaries, were privately owned shitholes (often by the same two infamous brothers) across North London in places like Belsize Park, West Hampstead, Tuffnell Park, Queens Park, that would now be worth an absolute fortune

yup. but 25 years ago people generally didn't want to live in London, (or even the UK especially)

Largely becuse there arent enough homes. Google Supply/Demand.

I dunno I don't live in Council anymore. Security doors and lifts seem to work now tho on my very limited visits

Not really. DHFC is a functioning, presently thriving, historic, community entity with much local physical and emotional support, see hardly any similarity.

NIMBY city - we've got a fooking housin shortage in case people hadn't noticed

tho he's miss-spelt the miss-spell :)

you not a fan of Private Eye Rosie?

Tis truu but I am not keen on the new BBC app either

oh the state/LA were such great landlords back in the day.........oh yes. On the plus side, you didn't have to actually pay your rent but you got F*all done/mended/sorted etc

:( what will do for entertainment?

I'm certainly looking forward to Extra Time as We want to win at Anfield, but BFS needs to change his mentality back to our pre-December attacking/pressing style. Bristol C on Sunday and the first half of the game against Hull were back to his grinding, defensive style which a decent side will unpick (As Arsenal and Chelsea did at Christmas) whereas the early season (no Nolan, No Carrol) had us tear both Liverpool and City apart.

If pissing off the Guardianistas is importnat to you and money is no object you've got to go Range Rover/Land Rover

West Brom away......could have been worse (or better)

Going to Sainsbury's DKH for a couple of items on a Saturday is great, oh yes

Mick, fancy a game of poker sometime?
