I'd rather live in East Dulwich than define myself by the fact you drive a slightly souped-up Vaushall Vectra salesman's car. Let's face it - the only thing fast about them is how fast their value depreciates. You've probably lost ?200 in the time it took to type this post.


Shouldn't you be living in Chigwell, anyway?

There does seem to be a small handful of people who think ED has become sort sort of Fulham equivalent (Clapham suffers from this problem acutely). These people are deluded - but nonetheless, it's a fairly pleasant corner of town. If you think its dirty, run down and shabby... you should get out and see some more of London!

It was a bit run down, dirty and shabby (albeit with a fair bit of local colour/character) when I lived in ED 25 years ago - paid a visit a few years ago (live in Crystal Palace now) and it was changed beyond belief along Lordship Lane. Went into a deli to buy some balsamic vinegar and had to beat a retreat - how much!? ::o


Dullrich is boring beyond belief though - would almost certainly opt for ED if I had to choose between the two, which happily I don't, living up at the lofty summit :D

Any more arsey little 'antique shabby chic boutiques' like Old Villa with its naff bay trees (So Sloane St. circa 1983) and pricey tat and what character LL still possesses will whither and expire in a whimper of old-english-lavender.

    • That'll be a strobe gun, and yes, it is used for ignition timing. Not so useful with modern cars because timing is done via the ECU, but you could lock yourself in your darkened garage, put on some late 80s Detroit techno - such as Derrick May's 'Strings of Life - and use the strobe light to have yourself a little rave. The above websites are close to useless for checking the service history of older cars - there's no legal requirement to have your car serviced, let alone have it recorded somewhere.
    • Call National Grid and say you have a problem with a gas pipe  0800 111 999  and with luck they will fix it for free.  Most likely my diagnosis.   Some nutter had done their own gas plumbing in my house and National Grid blanked off both a supply to an old gas fire and a wrought iron pipe in the bathroom that supplied to the old bathroom water heater originally in the house. Extremely unlikely to be connected, may be from the days of gas lighting (mainly over by the 1920s) .  Gas connection will have long since been modernised.  If it hasn't been blanked off then just turn it on and sniff, or if you are like me light it.  This is how gas fitters did it in the past,  Although at your own risk (you are more likely to asphyxiate from natural gas, it is not poisonous, and the smell is an additive, so you can smell leaks. Chances are you are old enough to have used Bunsen burners at school. The end of the video is great, the biggest source of gas is your boiler, and if you house hasn't blown up already......  
    • Thanks, that's very helpful to have that confirmed! Really wasn't sure what we were dealing with. Will look into a gas engineer...
    • Ah, dozy me.  Thanks for pointing that out.   I was so impressed by the MOT details being there I  didn't  expect anything else could be so didn't check any further.  I've not owned anything with an internal combustion engine for decades.  Recently found a light tool that I've a dim memory of using for (??) timing checks.
