I always hear that ED is full of artists etc but I suspect the balance has swung much more back to the professionals. In fact after discovering the Mockney Piers is a technologist in the financial sector (just call me Sherlock) I started to wonder just what the balance was.


Could we use the voting mechanism on the forum to "vote" for our job area (obviously will require some generic job types being options) and get a straw poll what people who live in ED do....


Will obviously be grossly swung by the fact it's carried out on an online forum....

How do you define "professional"? I'm a qualified worker, and I'm classed as professional within the social care world. However, I don't wear a suit and work in the city ;-)


Also, I have an arty (well musical) side, and if I was a pretentious gob sh!te, I might call myself an artist, even though it's not my job....


I know one very good artist in the area who sells her work, but is a secondary teacher by day :-S


I agree that it would be interesting, but we need definitions.....

Indeed we can be many-faceted, I am a technologist who has worked in the financial sector (and plans to again sadly) but I'm also an insipid, affected, pretentious, self-centred, anemic minded, insular, left-wing, politically-correct w**ker, so it's a bit tricky.


But I'm quite curious too nutty. Keef, I suggest we go with our breadwinning professions rather than our inclinations.

Good heavens Domitianus, was that a copy and paste job then? I always thought the words were your own ;-)


I guess I'm media, but I've left plenty of examples on this site of that smack of polarised, politically incorrect, proto-fascist tendencies with a discinclination to redistribute the wealth...

Still not sure where that leaves my job, guess I'm professional (although I'm sure my boss would argue against that ;-) )...

Here are a couple of pictures taken in Budgens and Somerfield on a Saturday morning that may have some reflection of the type of people round these parts. Can you tell which is the most popular paper bought on Lordship Lane?

Im sorry people, at the risk of being viewed as obtuse for the sake of being different, I really dont get off on The Guardian on Saturdays - too much needy bleating from non event writers.Too much Tom Stoppard.Too much middle class tutting.


THe Gide is the best thing about it - unfort. the vermin Guardian publichers have ralsied this and now seal the Guide in a plastic bag to stop me from pocketing the guide gratis and leaving the rest of the smug waste of space to lie unwanted on the floor of the 7-11.

Ha ha, hoist by our own petard.


Mr L is actually based in rural Berkshire, and whenever I go to the - only - newsagent's there, it's Daily Wail wall to wall, and the single copy of the Grauniad has gone by 8.15am.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
