MrClive3300 was made a british citizen today (yay only taken 9 1/2 years) and I just wanted to say how excellent the whole experience was. It was held in the town hall (in Peckham) - the mayor spoke about the rights and responsibilities of being British and gave an excellent speech about our Borough.


How its the most ethnically diverse in London, how the council owns 60% of housing, how its the most historical borough in London etc etc. I think there were about 29 different nationalities of people who were becoming British and the whole experience was so moving (I sobbed the whole way through it... possibly due to being pregnant as well)


The Mayor was available for everyone to take pictures with afterwards and to ask all sorts of questions at the end and the whole experience made me very proud to be British

yes he did but he loves all that stuff anyway! I think its really good that you have to learn all about the country you would like to be a citizen of and that they have a proper ceremony to mark the occasion - it really feels like you are part of the country and the community which is great.

Thanks for your good wishes xx

    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
    • You really have to go and look at the schools yourself, and do some research. My children went to the same school in different years and had very different experiences. Different school focus on different things. It's very personal. We bought close to the school I wanted to go to, and then moved a bit later, when they were old enough to travel on their own.
    • Not even remotely close to the catchment for charter north over there and would imagine outskirts of east (tho should check recent years). Would leave the Harris’s as more guaranteed options so maybe have a look at those and see if you’d be happy with them as a fallback
