Although there is much to be recommended about the prescription drug abuse and the swinging.

Indeed, I love cashing in on others' misery.

I have an entire half-finished ghost estate all for myself where I have imported sorry looking palm trees scattered around so I can reenact the Battle of Beckton Gas Works Hue from Full Metal Jacket every weekend.

It's brilliant!!!

I would miss the variety of people. I get a bit unsettled when everyone has a fleece and wears beige. Together with cotton traders clothes.

When they say "OOOH London that nasty violent city where the riots were"... plus other non pc comments.

Totally agree WOD. When I first moved away from London, I was taken aback at the lack of non white faces, and that was in Liverpool, a big city. I had a girlfriend from near Boro once, and she met her first black person at the age of 21. Where she was from, there was one Chinese family, who run the Chinese take away.


So grateful to have grown up somewhere where I went to school with equal numbers of black, white and Asian kids.

I would miss London a lot... history, culture, live music, restaurants, the melting pot of nationalities and cultures. I even like seeing tourists out and about.


However, I honestly don't think that SE London has an awful lot going for it, there are only a couple of nice enclaves within it (including the Dulwich area).

This could also be Dulwich Village.

lol at the thoroughly predictable prejudice about people who are 'not from here' but the home counties/Bromley etc from a bunch of people who then have the gall to go on about hideous Daily Mail views.


Oh you smug metropolitan hypocrites - many of 'you' fit in a box as easily as 'they' do.

But what if he does have kids?


Look, if it means having a pop at Guardian readers or metropolitan liberals, he can sometimes go a little OTT


So he was standing up for you fine, upstanding (if easily offended, who knew) Mail readers, in his own way


I think he was having a pop at the wrong people tho ? the crew doing the mocking of coutry-dwelling/fashion-deprived/Mail reading types on this thread is limited to the terminally misanthropic likes of woodrot and nowt to do with liberal elites. When it comes to bashing THEM, ???? and woodrot would happily man the barricades together I suspect


So, jelly, he isn?t comparing you or any Mail readers to paedophiles. He is ?claiming? that some people on here appear to despise mail readers as much as paedophiles. Which is the sort of odd claim he makes from time to time


I normally leave him to it these days, but felt a need to stick up for him a little bit here as you have the slightly wrong end of the stick. (that often happens with Ma? erm, ok not now. But it does. Especially when paedophiles are mentioned)

Jelly you're obviously pretty new to the forum. Quids was, in a roundabout way, defending you!!! Guardian readers tend to look down on Mail readers....the folk on this forum are mainly Guardian readers. You'll get there in the end.

    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
