Not quite as simple as that though is it? If money were no object I wouldn't have to think about how long my commute to work was because I wouldn't be working. Or consider how affordable property was in the dream area. But it has to be said, as compromises go, this is a pretty decent one.

I've lived in Dulwich pretty much all my life and wouldn't really want to move out of the area so a nice big house in the village would do me but if I did move out and money was no object I'd quite fancy number 3 Cheyne Walk (Keith Richards old house) on the Chelsea embankment and and weekend pile on the Kent/Sussex borders near the sea.

If there's still a points system, maybe because they don't have enough points.


I once looked into moving there but didn't meet the criteria because I was a) too old b) didn't have a zillion pounds savings and c) didn't have scarce skills. I think the only thing I got points for was my educational level :-$

Not England.


Definitely not England.


In fact nowhere on this piss drenched archipelago comes close to somewhere I would actually want to live if work, money and my family weren?t the motivating factors. Apart from London maybe for what it offers as a city but I?m over that now.


My own island in the Cyclades I think. With a surfable break and an island of ill repute close by so that I don?t get bored.

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
