A story on new developments given flashy American names, like the Tribeca next to the Crystal palce road - Goose Green gym, in an attempt to lure international money laund, ehm, investors. I hope I can quote half a sentence without infringing copyright:

"

these homes aren?t for the people who live in these places. No kid from Camberwell or Peckham or Brockley is going to mistake Goose Green for Washington Square Park. Neither are they going to fail to notice the flats in The Tribeca cost about 20 per cent more than what Zoopla says is the going rate for their postcode.

A story on how more and more homeowners are extending rather than selling and moving, and which mentions ED as the UK's location where homeowners are most likely to consider an extension


The second story seems unreliable hot hair, as 'likely to consider' doesn't mean much, plus it was all based on a survey by an online architecture service, which residents of the Royal Borough and other super prime areas are maybe less likely to use anyway.


The first one is IMHO more interesting.

    • I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.
    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
