Sorry, but the missus moved jobs and the ED commute was hell for her. Then we decided to escape the rat race for a while and become ski instructors for a couple of years. Soon, back to reality though. Ew.


It's a very nice part of W13. Sort of the East Dulwich of the West. Except it has a tube station.

I never wanted to leave ED but alas circumstance forced my hand. My family has however settled in really nicely out here.


Me, well I ride a skateboard to work, do yoga and think comic books are an art form. What in the name of all the gods am I doing in Surrey?


I am pretty good at drinking wine and speaking to people about their jobs in venues as monochrome as the audis parked outside. It is afterall a professional necessity. But fuck me if I'm not getting sick of doing it for 'fun'.

Well it's comforting to know that I'll be in good company then!


Brendan, we are moving to Surrey, technically speaking, though I'm still thinking of it as London...


Loz, MrTwirly has a similar plan as I can't find anything similar where we're going. Every area should have it's own version of the EDF!


Anyway, we're only 40 minutes away in the car, am sure we'll be back over occasionally. And I can keep an eye out on here for the latest "in" places to book for lunch when we do...

You saw me on the bus you fucker, and didn't say hello?? (oh wait, did you mean Annasfield?)


I been up east hanging with the hipsters, but still around and about. Saw that Otta one in EDT the other night.

My post count has trended downwards for a long time now, so it?s entirely possible the move might tip me over


But it wouldn?t be a ?I no longer live here, so long suckers? flounce ? it would be more of a ?dear Lord but it hasn?t been fun posting on here for a looong time and god knows it?s only habit and the occasional flurry of activity from the more intelligent posters that keeps me coming back, but they constitute a diminishing percentage of the forum population so really, why do I do it?? type thing


And even having said that ? it?s still better than any other locale-based forum I?ve come across

Left ED over 18th months ago and still occasionally visit - that's both the forum and the area. I'll certainly still post about particular bug bears or favourites and as I do come and see friends it is good to know where to eat and what to do when I am here - although some of my friends seem to find it slightly annoying that I know more about the area when I am many miles away than they do when they still live here.

I left ED when I joined the RAF in 1954.

Still look back with fond memories

I was born in Jennings Rd, lived there through the war, went to Heber Rd school when it had a bell tower. When I look at Google street maps, I know it's 60yrs ago, but I have trouble recognising places. Hey Ho, would like to come back sometime

Left in 1998 after 4 years, came back in 2002 and left last April (26th) after 12 years.


Lurk and titter probably every other day. ED has changed too much for me to miss it too much, but I wish there was a Goose Green play park near me!


There are quite a few ex-ED where I live now strangely!


Loz, I had no idea you had left!!

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
