We left nearly 2 years ago now. Have met two ex ED residents here (both from this forum) plus a number of "ex" London!


No forum here but a few local FB pages - it's not the same as an actively used forum like this but then there is a fraction of the population here compared to ED.


Don't frequent these pages nearly as much as before but do still take a peek and make the occasional post :)

Fk me don't tell Barber? He uses this place as his reason to push whatever sell out he wants. Oh wait, he knows.

  • 4 weeks later...

so those of us who have left - what do we miss?


nearly 3 months in for me, so possibly too early to genuinely call


certain individuals and regular haunts a given - but the one thing that pops up on the forum from time to time that makes me sliiiightly green, is mention of the Flying Pig.


i'm well catered for pub wise where I am now, and in no way complaining, but the FP was fresh enough when I left, with some great staff and THAT range of beers.

A member of the site for years, I've only recently started really using it. Now we're considering moving away. I always assumed every neighbourhood in London has a similar forum. Maybe I am na?ve and I shall continue logging in from Brooklyn. Not that I'm moving to NYC, but maybe someone is logging in from overseas?!

". I always assumed every neighbourhood in London has a similar forum. "


this particular one has always been an outlier I think. Plenty of areas have one, but it's arerly so active or mixed


it's why some of us* who have been around from the beginning get so (over) protective of it from time to time


* ok, me

Interesting article El Pibe. Loved the bit about mead. On a recent visit to Penzance in Cornwall I went into an authentic meadery, part of a small local chain of them. They literally had deep fried locally caught fish of various types or glazed whole chunks of barbecued chicken all served with chips and salad - and the key part a jug of mead. I came out absolutely off my face.

Worth a look if you like your authentic beers and real ales too.

We are in a village near Ashford in Kent, Tenterden side. Rural and pretty idyllic. Totally different life to ED but no regrets. It's great having the kids grow up with plenty of outside space to run around in, getting to ride in tractors / combined harvesters and being a short drive from the beach.


It's @ 70 miles away yet takes just 35 mins on HS1 to get to St Pancreas. I only come into the office a couple of times a month these days but it takes just 10 mins longer door to door which is fantastic.


The only part I miss is everything being walking distance. Nothing is walking distance these days but to be honest that's not too inconvenient - other than running out of milk / bread ;)

    • 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!
