I was just thinking the same thing! - it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out that the GGT and JamesF were using us as the foundation of their A-level politics coursework. Their tutor at Dulwich College is probably doling out A*s all round as we speak :))

Not to mention original poster maryopl?

i really hope jamesf is not making it up, this just gets better by the minute. so they live at home with mum and or dad. any more details? do they watch hollyoaks? do they pay for the music that they download? are they eligible to vote??


next it will transpire that one of their parents actually bought the house...

"I suggest you ask members of your team to confirm they are funding the finance of your squat by legal means only, but just remember, one of your squatters lives in my house and I may already know what the answer is!

I suggest you make sure your team live above the law in all aspects of their life..."


I wonder what JAMESF is hinting at here?

Yes come on GGT! I've no doubt that you're still following this thread! if there is no truth whatsoever in JamesF's claims that some of you are still at school, that you all have homes to go to and most of you sleep in those homes several nights a week, that it's effectively more of an Enid Blyton secret 7 style boy's den you've created there, and that you all regularly pop home to do washing and eat at mum and dad's while taking it in turns to sleep in the 'squat', indeed that one of you lives in the same house as him, then you surely might want to refute those claims?

Worth noting, perhaps, that by their own admission, this lot on Goose Green are not what anyone above 35 would call students. If they're in receipt of EMA, as they say they are, then they are pupils of sixth-form age, not students. EMA is granted only to 16-18 year-olds.


It did prompt me to wonder why the hell they aren't living at home with their families. JamesF has come up with the only explanation so far proffered. Do these "squatters" have a better one?

If they didn't exist I would have to invent them.


Someone's got it right on the money if they aren't real though, applause.


The best thing about this forum is drawing out the 'used to be liberal' brigade, they are tremendous value.

Sophie, trying to stick to the topic..........if the squatters wanted a catflap for their squatting cat, which Colin is the good catflap fitter? I say 'their....cat' but I don't really believe any cat feels like it has an owner as such. I have never had a cat so it's from watching how the local ones behave I reached that conclusion. As for all the 'lost cat' threads,I don't think they think they are lost. On holidays maybe?

    • The lack of affordable housing is down to Thatcher's promoting sale of council properties. When I was working, I had to deal with many families/older folk/ disabled folk in inferior housing. The worst ones were ex council properties purchased by their tenants  with a very high discount who then sold on for a profit. The new owners frequently rented out at exorbitant prices and failed to maintain the properties. I remember a gentleman who needed to be visited by a district nurse daily becoming very upset as he rented a room in an ex council flat and shared kitchen and bathroom with 6 other people  (it was a 3 bed flat) the landlord did not allow visitors to the flat and this gut was frightened he would be evicted if the nurse visited daily. Unfortunately, the guy was re admitted to hospital and ended up in a care home as he could not receive medical help at home.   Private developers  are not keen on providing a larger percentage of 'social housing' as it dents their profits. Also a social rent is still around £200 plus a week
    • Hello, I was wondering if others have had experience of roof repairs and guarantees. A while back, we had a water leak come through in our top floor room.  A roofer came and went out on the roof to take a look - they said it was to do with a leak near the chimney.   They did some rendering around the chimney and this cost £1800 plus £750 for scaffolding (so £2,550 total).  They said the work came with a 10 year guarantee. About a year later, there was another leak on the same wall, which looked exactly the same size and colour as the previous leak. But it was about 2 metres away from it, on the other side of a window.  I contacted the roofer about this new leak, thinking it would be covered by the guarantee. However, he said the new leak was due to a different and unrelated problem, and so was not covered by the guarantee. This new leak, he said, was due to holes in the felt underneath the tiles. He said there are holes in the felt all over the roof (so if this was the cause, I expect the first leak may have been caused by that too - but he didn't mention the holes in the felt for the first repair). It feels like the 10-year guarantee doesn't mean much at all.  I realise that the guarantee couldn't cover all future problems with the roof, but where do you draw the line with what's reasonable?  Is it that a leak is only covered if an identical leak happens in exactly the same place?  There were no terms and conditions with the guarantee, which I didn't question at the time.  
    • I always like Redemptions coffee though I've not visted for awhile..Romeo Jones was always my 1st choice for takeout Coffee Redemption 2nd. What IS with all these independent Yoga and Pilates Studios? Theres one on London Rd in Forest Hill (Mind) thats recently opened and then theres the Pilates place thats opened on North X Road. I looked at the prices of the one on NorthX road and was frankly shocked at how expensive it is, The FH one is slightly less.  Made me decide to stick with classes in The local authority gym
    • Dulwich Village update: The old DVillage location is (again?) under offer. The storefront next to the new grocer is going to open as a yoga and pilates studio...the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦‍♂️  Megan's is starting to push its takeaway coffee and cannibalise some of Redemption Coffee's market share. Is Megan's struggling? It's quite a big restaurant they have and rent cant be cheap. The reinventing of the Megan's branch on Lordship Lane as Ollie's seems to have stalled. And Redemption is looking a bit tired these days...
