Not sure it's a thread that can work - I mean, a whole suburban area reduced to banal indie bands... but to play along with the concept a little bit, and to extend it further..


If you could change ED to be more like a better band than any of the dullards mention, who would it be, and which areas are aready like that?


As for quids decription of Coldplay, not a lot wrong with being nice and decent. Can't see much wrong with BEING middle-class either. Coldplay's problem is shit songs...


Oh I've just realised! This isn't a thread about any of those things - it's just another tiresome excercise in easy mockery/flaggelation! Doh....

Oh I dunno, nothing wrong with a bit of self-mockery. ED isn't all that sacred - unless it's because I live in Peckham?! ::o


Agree it's a bit silly to make sweeping generalisations about race or class, especially if the intent is to come up with a not-very-serious assessment of the area. But if we can side-step those minefields (yeah, right) then can't we have a bit of fun with this one?

Exactly bloody right!!!


Perhaps the original post was a bit aff, but I like the idea of this thread. And I hate the defensiveness that it has inspired! Then again, the staff in Threshers who are all about to lose their jobs are just a bunch of chavs aren't they.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Gosh, that is a blast from the past.  Friends in York were into this, he was an accountant and had things like decorating done in exchange.  Not sure if it was equivalent in terms of hours, and I recall HMRC being interested as it was a way of tax avoidance.   A link for a London wide scheme but have no idea of its popularity: https://www.londonwide.letslink.org/members/index.php

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Posted around 12 cards 2 weeks prior to 24th December. Had some responses so know people have received them. Had about 20 cards - mixture of hand delivered and via post. After years of 'nagging' by myself and our daughters, we may have cured hubby of spending £4 plus on individual cards for our immediate family  ( when you have 12 immediate family it costs a bomb) Also as the girls state, they get put in the recycling bad at beginning of January regardless of cost.

      There was a LETS scheme in ED and it ran for a couple of years or so. Trying to remember when it was pre 2000?  A couple of friends joined it, one did baby sitting for exchange for ironing, the other did small painting jobs or simple gardening. There was a set criteria regarding credits,
