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.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
