Okay it sounds like it could go on the main forum, but it will be inevitably lounged.


This report suggesting Northerners move south, which sounds silly until you listen to those who produced it and they make (some) sense.


So can ED take in its share of Northerners looking for a better life?

Agree this isn't a Lounge topic.


What would be the change? There are plenty of people in ED who've moved here from the North. Are you suggesting you advertise in the North Yorkshire Herald?


Wanted - Yorkshire Men and Women (Pref Non-Smokers Or At Least Not In The Home) To Live And Work In East Dulwich. Must Be Looking For Better Life*. Must Have Spare Time To Waste On Internet.


*defined as living in the South. Even though it's full of Southern poofs who don't know what's what.

It?s crap down here anyway.


I were down Bolton high street two weekend back and it were great. I go up to barmaid in pub and says, ?pint of larger and 3 vodka and cokes for me please luv and a WKD blue for me missus.?


?No problem.? she says, ?that?ll be a fiver.? and hands them over.


A fiver! You can?t piss on a tramp in London for a fiver. And this weren?t just any old pub, Yates Wine Bar it were. Propper posh.


Anyway so I?ve not got through me first two drinks when this group of lasses walk in. All giggling and stuff like. Not one of them wearing enough clothing to cover their bras and knickers. You ?ave to pay good money for that kind of entertainment on Lordship Lane on a Friday. And the way they battered those lads who were standing over by fruit machine. It were class.

Keef: Maybe we could open a mine under dulwich to make them feel more at home.


No need Keef, the ferrets down our trousers (more portable than mines) offset the homesickness. I wouldn't say no, however, to some gravy on my chips; southern chippies are rubbish.

I am not only a Northerner but I even get my Yorkshire Curd Tarts, Yorkshire parkin & Whitby Gingerbread online on a regular basis from Elizabth Botham of Whitby! No decent cake shops in the South....


And if That Bloody Woman who closed all the mines does indeed get a state funeral then there'll be some panic...

Aren't we going to have to resort back to coal power anyway now that the Arabs/Russians/Americans/Chinese/Gypsies (delete as appropriate) have used all the oil and Greenpeace have killed anyone who knows about uranium? So there should soon be plentiful employment for people who know how to work a canary.


Anyway nobody really listens to what think tanks say. They only exist to create employment for specky folk who couldn't get into accounting.

    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported it? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
    • Originally when the Community Notice Boards were installed, one key opened all within a certain area. As these got vandalised,, new locks were put on and keys changed.
