where did it all go wrong in ED?

[keekybreeks]

Barking dogs at night in ED- why does everyone have a shouty greyhound/ whippet

Clean air- once upon a time, you could walk the bracing streets of SE22 ingesting a healthy amount of Lead and particulates- now everyone has a bloody wood burner, so the place smells like bonfire night

bloody friggin bleeding blow ins.etc

if they like country living so much, why dont they go and live there . at least cut out the bloody middleman of the Clapham-SE22-Whitstable cycle....

eh ? eh ?

wood burners in London don't smell like Bonfire Night though, do they?

not with that smokeless fuel crap they are obliged to use.

[Blah Blah]

Has it gone wrong in ED? House prices and overpriced gastro pubs aside, things seem pretty ok to me.

[MissMadMoo]

Smokeless logs.... so ED

[DulwichFox]

To many people trying to put it together..

Well you can't put it together..

It is / was already together.

You should walk down my road on a chilly Winter's night, or a Summer evening numbers

Sydenham too is awash with smoke & outdoor grill aromatics

It's hell, but we are still 'Staffy' heavy with a light wippet contention making a show of late

I give it two years before we finally 'go to the dogs'

[Earl Aelfheah]

Must admit, I hadn't clocked the wippet thing - will look out for them. Definitely a notable rise in Barbour jackets, hunters and 4X4 s over the last 10 years though.

[Blah Blah]

And beards....

[Earl Aelfheah]

Beards are a thing everywhere though, and not exactly a 'country living' type thing.

[tetris]

Spot a guy with a beard and 9 times out of 10 he's a cyclist.

[Louisa]

What about a woman with a beard?

Grammar: it's knowing your shit or knowing you're shit

[aquarius moon]

I'm so obsessed with spelling and grammar, if when I read my post back it has spelling mistakes or is missing a comma...etc.,

I have to edit it!

ETA a comma!

[Otta]

What I can't accept is people dismissing a serious point because someone has misspelled something. It's pathetic.

[aquarius moon]

Agree Otta.

I don't care whether other people can spell or not. Their posts are just as important.

I only care about my spelling & punctuation.

[Louisa]

I've been banged to rights by the grammar old bill so many times I've lost count.

Louisa.

[maxxi]

Of course Ot's right but generally, misplaced pronunciation aside perhaps, I'm on the side of the grammar feds. Nothing wrong with being gently persuaded to adopt proper usage.

Though if anyone could persuade a certain poster to use 'would have' or 'would've' or 'could have' or 'could've' instead of 'would of' or 'could of' then, for my money, they could split infinitives until the cows come slowly home.

(...yes yes I see the door)

[keekybreeks]

making a point about grammar and spelling is a piss poor contribuition to any kind of thread.

worse than hilter and geobbles all rolled into one

[Otta]

Years ago a mate of mine posted on here. He's a bright bloke but can't spell for toffee, and some arsehole basically dismissed him completely on the basis that his spelling was bad, never mind the fact that he was making a valid point. Since then it's been a real pet hate of mine.

Although some grammar things do wind me up, but who REALLY gives a shit?
