I don't really know about music but I think the Edge comes in the Rolling Stone top 100 all time guitars. But the reason I remembered him is from a BBC3 doc on Tom Petty and one of the pundits said the Mike guy off Tom Petty created an original and identifiable sound and then named him with a few others who created their own recognisable sound and also mentioned the Edge. I guess like the voice of Ton Waits or Leonard Cohen the sound is personal to him and they have made it their own. How did I do ?

I have a mate says early Keith Richards is right up there. I like the Edge for his identifiable style.

Love Beasley Street.

Room for a small one ?.

I don't think it will attract people from other areas. I think it's more the type of retailer that people just pop into for a handful of items.

HTC for me too. But I just got another for my collection: Envoy? de mon iPhone :)

Good quality new build flats in the 200-300k range are available in more affordable areas. Incl near Canary Wharf area etc. Of course developers building in "better" areas are going to cost their sales by max price in that area, but why do people expect to be able to buy into a "better" area cheaply - that doesn't happen. Solution is to build more stock in the less expensive areas as that's where the space/opportunity is - but coupled with that people also need to take a reality check on where to buy their first home and be willing to take a step back (or a step east).

Thanks LM. That explains it simply. Except that most people seek to move "up" in location with each move. There is a minority that move "down" in location and its these people that feature in your sample pool of 9. To improve your story I'd say central London seller of an apartment, sells and buys for the same money, or a bit more, a house in Dulwich. Hence the incentive is that he upsizes in space but accepts that he "downsizes" in location. Thx.

Well it is a world financial centre - and the rest of the UK does feck all. London is a massive shark in a pool of baby goldfish. No disrespect :)

Oh Bob, I have found it a very helpful way to learn new languages. If I'm ever stuck in Copenhagen I know I won't be lost for words.

No, but I don't really get the foreign money argument at our level. I know they say it filters down, but I have to admit I don't really understand it.

I'm doing an interesting collection, I think. Fancy a Danish @ Sendt fra min iPhone

Agreed - there is a 1.35m on Friern Road (yes Friern Road!) now and a couple of 1.2s on Upland Road. But nothing to my knowledge has actually ever completed for more than a million on these roads according to nethouseprices. http://www.nethouseprices.com/index.php?con=sold_prices_street_detail&street=UPLAND+ROAD&locality=LONDON&town=LONDON&cCode=EW&year=last_three_years&house_style=All&house_age=All&search_radius=&outcode=SE22&incode=0DA&isSearchPostcode=1 Of course it takes 6 months approx to complete on a house, so a December 2013 completion reflects summer 2013 prices, but it will be interesting to see how these optimistic pricings pan out. As against that I'm told by someone trying to buy a 2/3 bed that the asking prices are being regularly exceeded and in general an asking price offer has little hope, its best bid over asking price in ED now, sometimes 30/40k over asking. Not sure this also applies to the 4/5 beds though, they take a little longer to go under offer.

No - but you got too many as far as I could see.

This one could rival the 1991 one, but we are a long way off the peak yet. We are supposedly entering an economic upturn and hence the renewed confidence with which 30somethings are approaching their purchase decision, and rising wages could lead this much further before the fall. Anyone who thinks we are at bubble bursting point or anywhere near it I think is wrong.

I thought no-one would get near him. If Sunderland beat City I'll be doubly annoyed.

No, he's not going to do it. Still not giving.

Carroll knocks down for Nolan to score. Toshack knocks down for Keegan to score. 19 th century football. Not a lot wrong with that.
