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.

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.

    • They are. We are back to the same construction racket 8am-8pm every day for the whole of this week. The wall is one of the last things to come down, probably on Saturday. Then we can see how much of a mess they've made, especially the quantity of non-biodegradeable litter trampled into the earth. GALA 2025 - Production Schedule.pdf
    • The irony of the name of this festival...
    • @Rockets be a sweety and stop using the large font, it's annoying and I expect most can comprehend. Still not sure how this festival affects you.  Or is it a case that you just like taking on causes 
    • It is intimidating looking through the book sections now.  I sometimes wonder if they're stocking bookshops' remainders. OTOH, when I put  some books out in a cardboard box for taking, it was  encouraging to see that a fair proportion of those taken were aged hardbacks.
