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.

    • Don't forget to put water out for the birds during this very hot spell. Just remembered to do it myself.
    • Just visited Carlton following the recommendations above and agree with everything that's already been said. Great no-nonsense service. Another patient phoned while I was there and I heard Carlton say "If you're in pain, don't worry, I'll fit you in," which says it all.
    • Thanks i went to the chiropodist for my toenails! Not my gait. It was a remark he made on seeing my insoles, suggesting tennis ball w revised etc. .  He doesn’t do insoles and at that time i thought mine were ok. A podiatrist has sophisticated equipment for gait analysis etc. it’s not always just about your feet. I have flat feet but am also doing some wierd way of placing my feet. They are also v expensive ! re Guys self referral, I’m not in pain or immobile so think I’d wait a long time for an appointment!  However before my insoles I did have foot pain and also fell over my own clown feet quite regularly!   chiropractor is something different again.    I think I’m after a second opinion on my insoles.  Carlton Jefferson is the chiropodist rear of 60 Peckham Rye
