I would love a 10 minute 'time freeze' in Fox's house


Much stuff in there from 'the shop' I imagine


Does Castrol GTX go off?

That made me laugh out loud. I can't imagine why anyone would want to live that way but I guess that's why I live in a terraced house in zone 2

Nice period building and with a workshop in the back. But when you see stuff like this with only 1300 sq ft internal living space max going for ?1.2M...in Peckham. You know you're firmly in massive bubble / future implosion territory. Although someone hocked to the eyeballs themselves...and not geared up for a 5% + mortgage rate will now vociferously claim otherwise.


Time to get the glasses on, fix your rate for 5 years and ride out the coming recession...

You've gone all Protect and Survive on us MrD.

Is the 5% a prediction?

If so, base rate or high street average?...

Just making the earth shattering, tentative suggestion that base rates will revert to their 100 year average at some point in the next decade RD. And that wage inflation is unlikely to compensate or support a gentle deleveraging of household debt.


Many of the evil remnants of 2008 are still deep within the global economy and the next one wont bring down the banks...more likely the people.


Total mess at the moment. If you had a spare ?100k hard to know where you'd invest it without taking a hit or barely keeping up with inflation....

5% within the next 10 years? Unthinkable. Looking at historical rates is pointless, you need to think of the economic conditions which would lead to a significant hike, and how likely that might look...

Unthinkable? Really? Millions would have said about 15% in 1992 (ERM...Europe anyone?). And it's a refusal to accept the eminently possible amongst millions of hocked home owners that is a concern. First time buyer millenials who know no different especially.

the workshop in the back has its own access to the street and could easily be turned into a two bedroom cottage to sell off separately or to be shared with family. Loads of potential.

    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?  
    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
    • There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/
    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
