Wel, as far as I'm concerned if it's a choice between a crowded bar with slow service BUT a good atmosphere, great music and an interesting crowd vs a tacky, try-hard Croydonite hangout with corporate indie on the playlist and oily staff grinning at you like imbeciles I know which I would prefer!


I think Bignumber5 has hit the nail on the head. ED is becoming Blackheath mk 2 - a haven for suburban spivs with thumb rings and spiky hairdos goin' up town to AVE IT LARGE. Why they come here i don't know, surely there are plenty of places nearer home for them?

Why is anywhere described by Lonely Planet as "isolated" not remain so for long? Because it's in Lonely Planet.


A few people start going to a new area because it's cool, they take their friends, they take theirs, somewhere new opens, somewhere else new opens, and the presence of Adventure Bar, as well as the current incarnations of the The Bishop and the EDT on a Friday, are the result.


(I moved here 7 years ago, in my early 20s: Very much a blow-in. The fact that I don't like the newest developments puts me in the early stages of the process, but a part of it none-the-less.)

as someone not in my 30's, but mid 20's, however having lived here all my life i am shocked by the ignorance to the nature of the attitude towards inside72.

This means i'll have to move away from my home and live in a blinking village because i'll be 30 by then. Gutted by the people that now live here... sorry but it's true.

Was only replying to the people that were asking where all the estate agent types come from, and expressing my own preferences - wasn't having a pop at those that live locally and like Adventure, EDT etc.

As it happens olded, I couldn't work out what your point was?


Will you have to move because at 30 you're too old for ED, or because people liked Inside72, or because people disliked Inside 72, or because there are new people moving to ED that you don't like, or because the new people are under 30, or because the new people are over 30?


They all seem mutually exclusive reasons, but it'd be great if you could clarify?

    • Hopefully the Canada Geese were being culled - I'm being serious.  It's permitted
    • You might be interested in watching this video on you tube. It's from a wildlife gardener called Joel Ashton who regularly posts about his work in that area. Being interested in that kind of thing I follow him a lot. Anyway, a few days ago he posted about his plants being deliberately poisoned allegedly by his neighbour. He is going through the process of taking legal action and videoing this journey. There is another follow up which he posted a couple of days ago . It might be helpful to you. I think I should point out that the alleged culprit is not identified on the video so not breaking any privacy laws in sharing this.
