Mmm, I hadn't thought about the extra cars that would be around if it was filled with working people and what the neighbours might think - and I live on Overhill road!

I know! The luxury bit in the description is what really gets me - if the whole building was one or two apartments, that would be luxury!

I'm wondering if it might make sense to re-purpose this building as a small business development? It looks like they are never going to be occupied by residential tenants. However, as business units they may well be a far more attractive proposition. Does anyone know if this kind of switch is possible?

I had a meeting with a Medicare person, took nearly 2hours when they said it would take 30mins... They are the agency that puts together and provides the directory of local businesses to NHS staff. It seemed quite a good idea to me, but I couldn't afford the rates. The guy let me mull it over for 2weeks but I did have to sign there and then. I thought it was quite expensive and the directory quite poorly designed. But I also think that with so many NHS staff that there probably would be a return.

I live on Overhill Road which seems too hilly for either magazine's distribution network. Hooray!

there are several mutations of the norovirus doing the rounds... I have been suffering on and off with one version or other since well before xmas - lovely! glad you are feeling better :)

wot is a "lakeland" shop? doh...

My daughter (5) was chased and scratched on the face by one of two dogs who suddenly ran out from a hole in the fence at Beltwood House. I was livid! I saw the woman and told her what had happened and she said sorry... I'm amazed by this story!

Oh what nonsense. The snow doesn't know 'that London is actually a global city' or that there's 'tourism is one of the few things that actually seems to be a revenue maker these days'. This is because snow is not at all clever. It simply drops out of the sky, in place of it's friend the rain, then floats around a bit and it usually doomed to melt on landing. Once in a blue moon, and far less often than in Toronto or Moscow, the snow thrives. Whole gangs of it take over the streets, molesting the progress of curmudgeons, wetting the clothes of innocent, and even stopping a few buses. OMG the world must be ending! I just saw the four horsemen of the Apocalypse slipping and sliding past the CPT, they should have left the horses in the garage/stable thing. But seriously. Were TFL, the Mayor, local or national govt to spend huge sums annually just in case this white scourge showed up and started bossing us about I can hear the Louisa style moaning already. I for one am perfectly happy with the buses stopping when it gets too snowy for them as I am not at all keen on being involved in bus sized traffic accidents. The transport system did not grind to a halt, die, explode, implode or get sold to foreigners. It was compromised for a day and even then didn't stop completely. ap

Alistair Darling? He seems to be buying most things these days.

the chandelier does a great cappuccino, and cafe 2050 on forest hill road has good coffee too.
