Occasional lurker here, from the Great White North. It's been a very long time since I lived in ED (although I insist on at least a day there when I'm in the UK). We also went from Ed to Kent (not far from Claire C actually) and still spend a week in Tenterden any chance I get, but Canada is once again home.


I don't think I'll ever stop checking in on this forum, although the cast of characters gets less and less familiar there is still a thread of the life I had there. It's a funny thing to leave a place with a bit of your heart still there.....


I still miss Peckham Rye park every single day.

I sadly miss lots of things that at the time I didn't really appreciate. Moving away has really made me realise how lucky I was. I now have the sea nearby, a more relaxed way of life, a less competitive outlook - but if I could afford it I'd move back in a flash.

    • I've only ever had this problem in dulwich village. It was the same for Forest too.   
    • I get that bit - it's the "we all win"  bit I didn't understand if I look at world, countries I most subscribe to are the ones where taxes are raised significantly, the economy continues to thrive and the rewards lead to a fairer economic outcome - including countries where actual pension income is a lot more  https://www.almondfinancial.co.uk/pension-breakeven-index-how-does-the-uk-state-pension-compare-to-the-rest-of-europe/   but a decent social fund requires chancellor "winning"  
    • Pretty sure it’s the same everywhere in Southwark in that the area around a marked cycle parking bay is geofenced - presumably to encourage riders to use the bays.     
    • They are very funny at the Herne Hill Oxfam, for a charity book shop, about accepting book donations. Last time I tried to drop off a few bags the woman there was quite cross so I took them right back out, and I will not go back again. Definitely had this very same conversation on this forum before, including about the parking. That time I drove them over to a different charity bookshop in Streatham where - shock horror - they thanked me. And since then I've taken other books in smaller quantities to local charity shops.
