Happy with East Duwich

[woodrot]

I like ED.

The smug selfish arseh*le resident % is far too high though.

I too love east dulwich and the edf - and I must even admit to a soft spot for the grumpy old men/ women of the edf! You have to wonder if any of them would really give up the joy of bashing yummy mummies, bugaboos, cafe lattes and overpriced x (fill in the blank) for all the tea in china.

Interesting view...

Most of the selfish people I meet in ED aren't particularly smug, rather they seem defensive and insecure... and there don't seem to be that many particularly selfish people around anyway.

It seems to be a pretty good community; people let you out at road junctions, people hold doors open for others, you don't see many public disagreements, shopkeepers chat away, there just doesn't seem to be much obvious anti-social or openly selfish 'don't give a toss behaviour' that you see in other places.

Seconded!

I've been burgled whilst in bed in Topsham (Devon), had my car broken into in Ditchling, car stolen in Stanmer (both near Brighton), car broken into in Dundee, purse nicked at London Bridge station etc etc

Stuff happens everywhere.

I had a purse nicked at London Bridge station, too. Obviously a hot spot

Or stuff happens to some people Sue! Sounds like you've had a right run of bad luck there.
