You clearly haven't met her.


Maybe I can get a bar scene in a goldfish tank like the one that used to hang in Schmollensky's on the Strand...

Those funny cabinets that hide the shame of your television crack me up. Especially if there are fake 'books' on shelves around it with VHS cassettes inside.


When two friends of mine got married - they were so much in love that "they didn't have a television". Anyway, that was a few years ago.. they've got a 40 incher now.

I reckon you can go over 32" but only if you've got a room dedicated to film. Ideally in a loft or basement and with a projector, recliners and some expensive memorabilia.


As for hiding it in a cupboard I think that if you can do it discreetly then that should be encouraged.


Not housing it is like leaving your hoover out. Ours is currently unhoused but that will be addressed in the fullness of time.

Re Ercol.. I'm not a fan of the style myself (I find it a bit too 'country kitchen' but the old stuff is appreciating in value as there are people who are fans. I've seen Ercol high-backed chairs on sale in London for a few hundred quid a pop.


As with most things.. if you like it.. buy it and enjoy it.

I should delete those two posts as spam but for the enjoyment of allowing me to re-read Alan and Bob swapping home decor tips I'm letting them stay.


See people - this is the nostalgia us old timers talk about.


Alan and Bob - the Ann Ryder-Richardson and Handy-Andy of the forum.

Priceless. I see what you mean (tu)


In that case, may I revive the piano for sale thread from the same great vintage, 2007.


(Btw, I've decided against buying a piano but I'm fine and dandy for kitchen tiles.)

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
