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.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.
