Food's definitely the biggest thing for me :)


I'll eat just about anything, but it doesn't mean i'll enjoy it.


The endless quest for sausages, pork pies, prawn cocktail crisps and kebabs can be quite a drain ;-)


Bread's a pain - I miss the bakers on the corner, but it doesn't keep me awake at night.

Food and food.

Off to rural Ireland where deeply suspect Chinese take-away is considered the height of sophistication.

I will miss more places than I care to think about.


tbh it's more a London thing than an ED thing per se.


I'll miss the good folk, but seeing as most of my mates have them have done the Frank and returned to the home counties there's only one or two left to miss!


Good ale, though that's an England thing really isn't it.


Errrrm. Inside 72...oh.

The CPT, had some great times in there....oh.


Sunshine?

Absolutely! Another very close friend is moving away next week, leaving me with not many left in the area, and the ones that are left will likely be gone in a year or two (one to Ireland, would you believe).

I've thought about this one, as I have lived in my flat 29 years. I would miss my friends and the wonderful support I get at Kings College Hospital and my local very good Nunhead Surgery. I would miss the incredible views I have across London (Shard topping off nicely and The Building With More On Top is getting bigger than we though!) I would miss Peckham Rye Park. I am a member of The Friends of PRP and also Peckham Society. I think 'belonging' to these things makes one have a better ownership of them. And I would miss the fact that I can get to Thanet in just 80 mins or central London in about 20. I would not miss the snobbery in some areas though, or the overt bible bashing in some other areas! And I wouldn't miss the three flights of stairs it takes to get home!

We move away next week.... Feel really sad to be leaving friends. Although they are gradually all leaving now anyway!


Will miss having everything on the doorstep and the huge choices available for everything but there is good food etc out of London too. Feels odd to be going but for us the benefits far outweigh the losses.

Once you hit the provinces, your taste and judgement drops to fit your environment.


Hello Daily mail, right wingery & shit Italian food and crap bardolino


Goodbye Guardian, objective thinking & interesting food



some of this is in jest, but the food in the provinces is proper shit on the whole.

You think the provinces are bad, how about the ex colonies?!

I keep making the mistake of ordering beef; when will I learn after countless experiences of beef of exceptional quality going into the oven only to emerge a withered, leather sock.


Dublin has places equal to London's admitedly, but it's a two hour drive plus no booze unless forking out for a pricey hotel.

There are no trains!


You lot in E Sussex and Kent have it easy.


Still, the Guinness is better. The lager is worse and they don't do potable bitter or ale, but you know, the Guinness is better.


That's perhaps a tad unfair, I've eaten in excellent places scattered around the country, it's just that none of them will be any where near me :(

not a great deal to be honest


i've been living down here for 5 years now, and telling all my north london friends how great the area is- but when i stop and think about it properly, there's nothing here (apart from franks bar in the summer) that isn't done better in several parts of north london


without exception, the pubs on lordship lane are average at best- i'm getting very bored of all the identikit capital (now greene king i suppose) pubs; actress, bishop, victoria inn are interchangeable...be interesting to see what they've done with the rye when it re-opens- the most recent tenure absolutely destroyed it.


The parks are ok, but everywhere in london has nice green areas.


I think the best thing about south east london is greenwich, but even that's a bit of a ballache to get to from peckham rye/east dulwich


in short, i can't think of any reason not to move to islington in the near future



....hmmm, but i would miss franks bar

I am leaving. Next Wednesday - for Hong Kong :(


I am mostly going to miss: Pekham Rye Park (and all the other parks nearby), the EDT, the Cambria, Gowlett pizzas, a selection of Indian eateries, real ale, walking to work, random D-list sleb sightings, Lidl orange juice...


...but mostly I will be missing all the lovely people I've met since moving here 18 months ago.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
