Thanks LM - but at 42 and with 43 fast approaching, I think I just make it.


According to Collins Dictionary, this is "... usually considered to occur approximately between the ages of 40 and 60".

Yes mee too DJKQ. I haven't posted on this thread because I couldn't think of anything I wanted and then I read your post and I thought yes, spot on. I wan't things money can't buy.

Yes, philosophers make that point about just about everything...but - alas - I am no philosopher...I like the simple life and live by simple rules which come from deep within...my instincts...my intuition etc...it is those which tell me what is happy/sad, good/evil, black/white, simple/complex etc. etc. Call me a simpleton.


The only things that truly matter in life are those that money cannot buy. But I am quite certain you know that already.

Yeah but having said all that, my fabulous motorbike and more importantly riding it, makes me so very happy.

Life ain't about the destination it's about the journey.

Yeah right, but money will help prevent you having to walk the entire length.


Now, back to bed.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
