  1. Upgrade to a larger flat? I doubt many can make the jump from a 1 bed to a house. I certainly needed a step in between.
  2. Venice is maybe better for relaxing and wandering around semi-aimlessly. Rome is much more noisy/busy, and less manageable on foot. But Rome has 10x as much stuff to see, much more choice for eating/drinking, as is more of a "real" city (Venice is mainly a tourist town). Maybe best to do Venice this time, and do Rome when you have a bit longer to spend there.
  3. Both are doable, but Venice is probably more suitable for a two night trip. In fact two nights is probably about right.
  4. Dogs running around in parks? Whatever next! I pay my taxes you know!
  5. Yeah I reckon Catford seems perfectly OK... you won't find the type of bars/cafes/junk shops/etc that you get along LL, but a couple of good pubs, and the journey into London Bridge is about the same time as ED.
  6. I'd question the judgement of a parent who lets their teenage son ride a motorbike around. Talking to the parents probably won't achieve anything.
  7. I'd suggest you either help the pub investigate this, or ask for the thread to be deleted.
  8. MrBen/Whittler, when you're talking about mid-century houses on the Dulwich Estate... are you talking about the kind of houses you see on Great Brownings and thereabouts?

  10. Hickory - it wont sell for that. The price would be about the going rate of it was in top condition. As it is, its about 100K off the mark.
  11. There's a great chippy near the Homebase, their chicken sandwich is one of the dirtiest things I've ever eaten.
  12. Choumert Rd, next to Cafe Viva. The "choumert bun" alone is worth the trip... the big cubes of gooey marshmallow are great too. Thanks!
  13. Skoda, Seat, Honda, Toyota - good Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat - bad Audi, VW - good but you pay a premium for the badge

    Rye Lane

    I think that's fair, David. I'd agree that it could use some smartening up, and to that end I hope that the station redevelopment will have some knock-on effect. But when I hear people moaning about the type of shops along there, it's really just one step away from complaining about the demographic of the area.
  15. BTW - two weeks ago it seemed in full force, so I really think that this weekend can be put down to the weather.
  16. I'd be shocked if unlurked was snorky. I'm thinking more honk/lenk/penk WUM territory.

    Rye Lane

    People need to understand that peckham is NOT predominantly a white middle class area. All these shops have a customer base, they are busy, they are valuable to the residents of Peckham. Do people really expect some sort of mass social/ethnic cleansing of rye lane, with 'appropriate' new businesses conjured out of thin air, just to suit their own preference?
  18. We did manage a treat with some excellent pastries and cakes from Southerden in Peckham (v posh little patisserie in the most unlikely location).
  19. "A few" bottles of malbec? Like your style, Louisa.
  20. Staying home with our 6 day old baby! And a fish and chip supper.
  21. I believe the 2013 version will connect directly as voyageur/townleygreen/edpete describe. The 2012 version will not.
  22. Are grace3 and unlurked the same person?
  23. While normal people realise that there are both sensible and irresponsible users of all forms of transport, a couple of militant cyclists seem to think that anyone on a bike is beyond criticism, because you know, cars are bad and stuff. Its boring and childish.
  24. The weekend service has been intermittent for the last 12 years, so I can only assume this will always be the case - regardless of progress at LB.
  25. Sounds like an appropriate reinvention for a pub which was already frickin nuts!
