Yah Jono ... but white collar crimes, none of this hard graft of breaking n entering or diamond heists like the common oiks do

Discussion has totally lost me - 'you lot' are talking in tongues again. Returning to the original subject I was going to post "Ah diddums, are we a likle bit upset because Peckham is more desirable than SE22"


But that would be unnecessarily provocative.


I like lists as see them as good fun, noting that they are subjective and info can be manipulated. I quite like 'crap towns'. Also recall a TV programme that had a list of the most dangerous towns to live in. For London they broke this down to the borough level, whilst Nottingham which most think is a lovely place to live in was tarred with one brush based on the drugs and gangs in the Meadows and St Annes and was considered to be the most dangerous place in the country.

Since when was Frome in Somerset vaguely trendy?

Foo Fighters did a "secret" gig at the Cheese and Grain there last month, that's quite trendy!

L - didn't mean to suggest ALL places on the list are there because they're considered trendy, but certainly some are. Frome... I've no idea, never been there.


RH - we're showing our age... I don't think anyone under the age of 40 would consider FF even vaguely cool. Even my dad likes them!

Sorry to be a pedant but being from Cowbridge I'd just like to say it's definitely not in Cardiff - it's about 14 miles outside. I remember it being referred to as Ambridge in the Vale once in a disparaging piece in the Western Mail. Dunno if that makes it upmarket.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By bobbly · Posted

      A quick assessment on having a barter scheme amongst the community. An exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    I wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I don’t have IT knowledge to set this up unfortunate, but I do have skills that I could offer. From past experience, it would probably work best as a direct exchange rather than coupon credit.    I may be flaunting the rules by posting on this twice, admin please feel free to delete one if this is the case.

      Echoed. Thank you for stepping up.   whilst I’m here, I was thinking it would be a good idea to have a barter scheme amongst the community. an exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I’ll put it out on the forum to evaluate interest.

      Just found these matches!

      As they have been closed, either as an antique shop or a cafe, for a number of years, the words 'go whistle' spring to mind. They are history now.
