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).

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
