76 .. still, not bad though, eh?



More than all my male forebears. I'd have been happy with that if you'd have asked me 20 years ago.

OK I now live in East East Dulwich.

When the cartogrophers were drawing the official line between USA and Canada they came to a little farmhouse and asked the guy which side of the line he'd like them to place him on. He said Stick me on the USA side, I'm sick of these cold Canadian winters.

Agreed. This looked not quite right from the start.

The article said 71 for males and 76 for females.

Nunhead resident Mary Chippy told us: "I much prefer the lower life expectancy here in Nunhead to that of East Dulwich. Here, I can die in a three bed house with a garden for the same price as a pokey flat just across the park. Albeit slightly sooner."
There's a map in the Peckham and Nunhead Area Action Plan (PNAAP) showing the 'most deprived' areas of Southwark. (It's on the www.southwark.gov.uk site) It looks as if the 'most deprived' area in Nunhead is the Cossall Estate. I don't think many people would consider this to be in Nunhead! (Though it is in Nunhead local government ward).

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
