Exactly this. To the letter.

Ah yes, hatred would be 'irrational' if I had said I hated it - but this is about things one "doesn't get" - thas all.


I don't get it like I don't get the whole superfoods argument (aren't we all still supposed to be eating some Gigi berry or other or drinking liquidised grass?) only got irritated when I first saw it written and got smug-smile-corrected in its pronunciation after asking in Peckham's H&B what kwinohwer was.


Rice I get.


Wheat I get (even when it's cracked).


Oats ditto and Barley and I have a long standing understanding.


But I think Quinoa can fuck off.

:D fair enough.

It was just something i'd never heard of in the lunches I got at work from the supermarket downstairs.

It tasted nice with lots of tabasco.


Turned out I'd be mispronouncing it for months in my head.


yeah, superfoods i don't get. It's not going to counteract the harm from crying into your pinot grigio every night!!

Strafer, you've lost me, what on earth are you on about?

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
