Now you're talking, borg. I'll see you in the queue.

Maybe because the 2 kids under the age of 10 that died on nunhead lane in road accidents in the last 10 years have pulled the figures down dramatically. Fuck your sausage roll jokes, how about you focus on the fact that your local council Executive have dicked around for 10 years diverting funding to everything on the other side of the rye to secure your votes. Good on them.

Ooh, rhetoric. Go on, what?

That it immediately makes it more interesting than the majority of ED?

Most of Nunhead is a cemetery that has been used as a contaminated waste dump for the past umpteen years.


A word of well meant advice to people who buy veg from Honor Oak Allotments holders: In the late 90s the allotment society removed a lot of top soil from one of the affected areas for use on the allotments. I have the correspondence advising the relevant LBS officer that this was happening, plus his reply to them telling them not to do it. Not a definition of healthy veggies.

Perfect manly Mr Vinceayre,


I refute your claims that I do not know much about your shop. I'll have you know that I dispense my housekeeper to your establishment on a regular basis, ignoring any concerns for her safety - it is practically in Peckham you know (OHMYGOD!). Indeed, if it were not for your nonchelant attitude towards the health and indeed the marriages of the local population, I would not currently be enslaved to my damn Power Plate.


I am completely addicted to your confectionary (swoon).


Shame on you young man, I am a married lady of almost forty years with a nubile young au pair around the house to compete for my husbands attentions. Have you no idea of the lengths I must go to in order to work off these excessive calories?


I have a young family to think of (sob)...

Mr Vinceayre,


I am almost forty years old (shhh) and I assure you that I shall look substantially older when I am married forty years, despite the ready availability of various injectible substances at a beauty emporium not a twenty minute stroll from your own fine establishment.


If you are unkind to me, I shall have Albena (my enormous Bulgarian housekeeper) give you a thick ear, but I shall never stop indulging in your fine confectionery (sigh)!

"I bought a sausage-roll in Greggs in Lewisham last year. Louisa would have been proud of me.

It was easily the worst thing I have ever eaten"


Do you know that there are branches of Greggs in Brussels? Shamefully, it's true.

On topic, I have no idea why people live shorter lives in Nunhead.

Multiple factors contribute to life expectancy but on the whole it is pretty solid reflection of the socio-economic status of the population. People in lower socio-economic groups tend to die earlier - whether it is due to smoking, alcohol, diet (including sausage roll intake), obesity, access to/ use of healthcare or a combination of the above so you would expect Dulwich to have a higher life expectancy than some of the surrounding areas.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
