I believe people prefer associating their area with a name such as East Dulwich rather then a code like SE22/SE15 borders. It's nicer to relate to a name, "Where did you grow up?" "Well I was born in RH12, lived in HS1 for a bit them settled in BA14", doesn't quite seem as personal.


Yeah totally agree, sorry wasn't suggesting this be the SE22 forum. I personally just don't like the name "the lounge". But hey ho, I'm not losing sleep over it, and I'm sure the world will keep turning either way...

I suppose if we had 'ED Issues' and 'Beyond ED' there might be less of a feeling that what is now 'the Lounge' is for trivia: it's sometimes referred to as the 'less serious' part of the Forum. In reality quite often the ED Issues is full of threads about very minor things like bus times and what someone thinks of the service in a particular caf?, whereas the Lounge will be full of passionate debate about politics or ethics.


Of course there's room for all kinds of discussions, and clearly people want to talk about serious issues both local and general, and have a laugh as well - I'm not suggesting either is less valuable.


I'm not a big fan of calling it 'the Lounge' either, but I'd never have thought to mention it had someone else not brought it up, the title is really not important.

Dead exciting this today innit. Initiating hostilities with Nunhead on one front whilst offering an olive branch to Forest Hill on the other by inviting them to neutral ground in Peckham who is also poking its head into proceedings.


I?m just waiting for someone to invade Poland.

    • For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.
    • It's my understanding that estate agents are obliged to put forward any offer to the seller made to them by the buyer. The decision to accept us up to the seller.  If you're in a chain and someone in the chain has the brass neck to threaten to pull out at the last minute unless you take their lower offer, you're in a very tricky position and the gazunderer knows that.  It's a really nasty thing to do but a crappy person will do it to save money.  That's why if you can be at the top of a chain by going into rented or some other temporary solution you're in a much stronger position to tell the gazunderer to take a running jump which is very satisfying.
    • Isn't it because any bladed item now needs to sold with a new set of legal conditions (age verification etc) which this forum doesn't have? Even if there's a tool to remove stones from a horses hoof, and a tiny pair of tweezers its still got a blade.
    • Yes, if you think they have been complicit in this. When you say you "had to" accept the lower price from your buyer, was that because of the timing of your purchase?
