Painic on the streets of East Dulwich (housing market)

[snorky]

A year ago, it was not possible to walk from ,say GG, to the brutal concrete magnificence of the cop shop without hearing conversational prime cuts about Schools and choice in passing - " We did not get out first choice and we have no option but to go private - the system has failed us and makes no provision for gifted children...blah blah blah " or variations thereof.

There is a new bleat on the streets and its commin at ya blud.....

" We cannot sell our house - literally cannot sell it, it has been on the market for 9 months and hardly a viewing....blah blah blah"

This is can be interpreted as " we are the asking market price of about 18 months ago for our extensilvely remodeled pokey Victorian terrace so we can move out to Sevenoaks/Guildford/St.Albans and take advantage of the grammar school system - ideally we want to get market peak for our own pomme de terre, but curiously , want to pay rock bottom prices for the detached mansion 200M from the best performing seconday school in Kent/herts/Cambs and we are so utterly pig headed about it, we will hang on with our unrealistic sale price until reality begins to nip at our stuck up fat arses"

Possibly people just like complaining for the 'ell of it

[snorky]

Perfidious Albion - we are indeed a nation of grumblers

[Brendan]

Snorky is this just convoluted way of asking the age old question of, ?Why does such a high percentage of the human race go through life with their heads stuck firmly up their own arses.??

[snorky]

yes, but with a class war slant to it

[Brendan]

word.

[red devil]

Administration, Administration, Administration

[snorky]

how his smug patronising partner in crime doing ?

[Brendan]

If the only thing that comes out of this recession is getting that awful woman off television it will all be worth it.

[georgina]

Poor Phil - he's sooo gorgeous too...

[????]

As long as no-one insults...The goddess that is Beeney I'm a happy man

[SeanMacGabhann]

I had to re-read the messages myself to be sure it wasn't la Been they were talking about, quids.

[*Bob*]

The recession has got to be bad news for Beeney.

Now she'll never be able to afford to get her hair done properly.

[Moos]

Beeney is incredibly annoying. But I don't see that Kirstie is any more annoying than Phil - they have pretty much the same MO, haven't they?

[????]

You say annoying moos, some of us say masterful.......no comparison with the posh my daddy got me this job Kirstie

[*Bob*]

Phil is bald = Sympathy vote.

Spot on snorky - the fantasy world of the last decade where the Chinese work their butts off for $US80 a month and live 8 to an apartment whilst lending their hard earned money to us so that we can live in an effortless colour supplement dream land trading houses to each other for ever increasing amounts whilst dreaming of second homes in Provence,nannies,reiki sessions, long holidays and leisurely Sunday mornings drinking 3 quid coffees and organic croissants and marvelling at the beauty of it all are well and truly over.

It?s not going to right itself next year ? a generational once in a century boom has turned to bust and we will have to live within our means ,work hard and save and realise that we are over paid ,over indulged welfare statist entitlement junkies to whom globally no one owes us a living.

The new ED was part of that fantasy.

[????]

Wot Ibilly said...we are in for a massive reality check and there will be massive tensions and problems in the UK as well as general global unrest......do you know what stopped the great depression? WW2....

..yes, I'm gloomy tonight

[????]

..and I'll miss Beeney

[red devil]

Cheer up Quids all is not lost!, I remember reading an article about the Beenster and she said at the time (Autumn) that they were recording the next series of PL to be aired this Spring. Lots of people come a cropper what with the downturn...

[Brendan]

Who is this Beener you speak of?

[red devil]

She's big in 'property development'...

[Brendan]

Well I?m sure she won?t have trouble finding alternative employment.

[fractionater]

by the looks of that photo..."property development" is not the only big thing about Beanie!
