Hmm. I have never ventured onto forums before and I think the (cynical) responses my initial post has garnered suggests I won't be posting frequently in the future either. I have no party allegiances whatsoever; I am simply a floating voter looking to understand what is happening here in my locality...

I wouldn't take it personally as Rosie says - more a reflection of a series of (pretty obvious IMHO) posters who have joined up recently to post provocative/politically motivated stuff. I would guess most people are getting pretty bored of it (I know I am) hence the less than enthusiastic response to even serious discussions...

The voter power website gives the impression that Dulwich/Norwood is a pretty safe seat for the incumbent, but others (inc the Observer) reckon not.

"But there will still be plenty of interesting things happening in individual constituencies. For example: Tessa Jowell, Liam Byrne and Ben Bradshaw are arguably a little bit vulnerable in, respectively, Dulwich and West Norwood; Birmingham Hodge Hill; and Exeter."

Yes. Enigmatic. Good.


But mostly Quids has it - Sean (and indeed Huge Nought)'s more grown up attitude to voting than my rather childish jest about not encouraging them.


On the subject of which*, do you feel run down when you get hit by a truck?




*childish that is, not not encouraging them

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
