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.

    • Another review about a plasterer & handy man called Omar. Very professional, clean and up to standards. He’s done a couple of works in my flat, plastering, tiling & rendering. As you can see not easy task for someone of us, but he managed to do all of it and all turned out amazing. Highly recommended    His number is 07535 651443
    • When mine was stolen I tracked it to Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's car park, where it sat for several hours, and then over to a phone shop on Rye Lane in Peckham. Police thought they likely stash them somewhere in the car park until they have a few to drop off. It's literal schoolkids, so even worse in the holidays.
    • Saw the aftermath of another phone theft on east dulwich grove by trio last night. Then half an hour later spotted them biking back to 'work'. Crazy the police can't do anything about this - they are clearly cruising the same streets. 
    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
