Shaggy...back to more important things? yeah cause another f-ing coffee shop is more important than an armed robbery isn't it. The worlds' gone to sh!t it really has.

I live round the corner from the co-op. You mean to say that the bookies was held up and now the co-op!!!??? I'm shocked. what the hell is going on with all these robberies? It seems a bit bloody un-normal for so many to be happening all at once. I've lived in some rough parts of London before and never seen as many hold ups as in ED. I like the run down-ness of the stripe of shops in Forest hill. Won't be long before it's a mini version of LL. It reminds me of the old times, greasy spoon, bookies, crap co-op (sorry but the co-op sells nothing and is crap.) It's still awful that it was robbed. What happened does anyone know?

Alas! SeanMacGabhann I guess we will never be drinking buddies, me being a Foxtons loathing tenant...and all that.

oh b*gger!.........we were on a 6 month rolling contract, nothing has happened yet! Is there 'affordable' housing in ED anymore, or is that like finding gold on Brighton beach. A ridiculous idea!

can landlords do that!!!?? We've made considerable upgrades to our place and the landlord is not allowed to put the rent up. It's fixed.

Well I can't afford to buy in SE22, but would love to own the garden flat I'm in at the moment!! Simply put, Foxtons scare me. Sponsor me in the GYRO 10k at http://www.justgiving.com/ZeinaGYRO10k

you mean the doctors surgery?.....

are they on crack LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched Grand Designs abroad last night and for 26k you could buy a three bedroomed bloody house with terrace, on three floors in the French countryside. So yes, crack must have something to do with the farcical situation in the country.

Here Here *Bob*...I think it's also the cars emblazened with the logo that tear about the streets, that seem to hack me off alot as well. But then again, I s'pose most things hack me off and hence I consider the place to be a Mad World....moan moan grumble grumble.

Lawyers Smoyers! It was a TV doc. They wouldn't have been able to air if it was being heavily denied, and the TV comp would have had themselves a day in court. Let's start a sweep stake to see what other big highstreet names will roll into LL.

after seeing that docu on TV about how they scam their way through a working day by signing documents that they shouldn't in order to push through a sale in order to get the best bonus they can bla bla bla and yet more bla....I'd rather have Woolies back. You new where you were with good old Woolies. (The docu focused on one particular Foxtons office, so I'm not commenting about AlL the branches. I'm not one for slander.)

Has it been taken down yet? Who do we think is responsible?

Dear ClareC and Jan t, I think watch this space, as Talisman will post something on here in the near future! :))

Well I'm disappointed that so many on the forum expressed a wish to have a gander round the two houses....and now no one seems interested? I understand Keef, I too wouldn't mind a free jaunt to the islands in the Indian Ocean if it was on offer, but this 'prize' was at the Grand Designs expo yesterday, so obviously not a free holiday in sight. Although a night out on the tiles with Kevin McCloud wouldn't be a bad offer! (sorry Mr MW74!)

Well Keef, I would certainly enter if I didn't live in ED! They all seemed really nice yesterday and I think you'd get more than a tour of the house, ie you may find yourself celebrating with them, glass of bubbly in hand. Not a bad day out.

Hello All you lovely Forum people, I meet Bill and Sarah yesterday; the oweners of the 2 Eco builds in ED, at the Grand Designs Excel London. I had a chat to them about the excitment previously whipped up on this very site. They knew of 'us' and said that they couldn't believe how many of us wanted to go down for a tour. I have it first hand that they WILL be running a tour of the two houses on Landells Road, just as soon as they get properly settled in and have the rest of their family and friends round!! Yipeee!!!!Just keep this between us lot on the forum because it doesn't extend to the rest of the country!! We should feel very priveledged. Grand Designs were running a competetion yesterday for someone to WIN a trip round the house, but all ED Forum go-ers will be treated to this regardless of the competition!! more yipee!! The couple both said that they were very touched by all the nice things said about them and their houses on the forum. So I guess we watch this space for Talisman to annouce when we can all toop round to have a butchers. Just don't forget the champagne!!! (Excuse the over use of exclamation marks!!)

Try going to GBK with a hangover!!!!! It's like a scene from a vicious 1960's psychedelic flick....oooh the colours, the noise...the the...(crawl under the table and wait until everyone's gone it's all too much) Anyway, hehem, back to the thread.

free valium for all ED locals, now hell yeah!.....

GO Lord Lordship!!... it's a freeworld and damn we can make enemies if we want to. ;-)

that's what I thought, Nero, when I saw it!! that's why I was a bit takenaback with all the threads that went down the line "ooh I wish them luck/ they do posh clothes for kids/ I quite like them..." each to their own but my gut instinct when i saw the boards yesterday was, hmm.....a bit of a p*ss take. (Just voicing my opinion Mr Admin don't shout at me)

Took friends for lunch at The Bishop last Saturday. They're from Brighton and absolutely loved the place (not bad for Brightonians giving the thumbs up to a South East Londonboozer. Brightonians do think their bars/pubs are better than the rest of the countries!) We will have to visit the Florence then, check out those loos.

I do not like the WS. Boring boring boring.....oh God we are gonna end up like Northcote Road. Manbags?????........help!

yes, you have to admire their tongue in cheek approach. I wonder if they know about the reception they've got from some of the locals on this forum?
