> The Shed/the Shelf/North Bank Higbury


I was in the North Bank in 1990 when we (the gooners) were playing you (the twats) and there was a small group of about 8 people in the North Bank lower tier who broke into a song:


West Ham in the North Bank

West Ham in the North Bank

TA LA LA LAAA


Please tell me it was not you.



[Oh and by the way you do not have to call it the North Bank "Highbury" - we all know where the fecking North Bank is.........]

The Barley Lea? The Farmstead? Or the perils of Whitworth Avenue? Or a mere dalliance near Macbeth's chippy on Acorn Street?


As someone raised on this estate I am intrigued (but not offended - I did grow up there)... when and where Citizen?

I took a mate of mine from Essex (Billericay) there for a beer once as it was the only place still open late in SE5 on a Bank Holiday Monday, he was a good looking lad and soooooooooo Essex, so it was quite fun.

The first night I moved in to a residential training place for my job, we all went out and got drunk and got to know each other.


Later that night I half drunk, half sleep walked in to another blokes room, and tried to get in to bed with him.


He was afraid... VERY afraid.

I was out with a (female) gay student from the art college for her 21st. The pubs had shut, so she took us there... I went for a wee at one point, and the loos were an intimidating place.


I have never finished a pint and left a place so quickly!

    • 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! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
