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).

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
