Sorry but who's a 'blow-in?'

I'm a Londoner born and bred and my Father grew up in Norwood.

If you call me a 'blow-in' because I've lived here four years and moved from Notting-Hill (where I was born and lived for 50 years) because I was priced out of the area then fine...I guess I am a blow-in.

I must confess if I won the lottery I'd move back to W11 in a heartbeat-Its much less up its arse in many ways.

and weirdly less smug

It seems you can't help yourself being spiteful for no apparent reason, there really is no need.

I've had enough of Louisa's unfriendly comments, it's not what the forum's about, it should be a friendly place and her comments are sniping remarks which are unwanted. I've constrained her to the Lounge so other users in the other sections are free to talk without the constant blow-in/class comments.

Because she's not done anything that deserves a total ban, the Lounge is a more libertarian area where people tolerate her more. I'm just trying to keep the place friendly and welcoming, of course there's going to be disagreements and discussion in the General ED issues/gossip section but repetitive put downs are simply off putting to most. I don't want that any more.

Thank god for that.

A moment to regret Louisa -- who although cranky, and contrary, and reliably (predictably) opinionated, also posted with wit. I never thought that she made the Forum's tone unfriendly. But then again, she never swivelled to bring me into the crosshairs of her gunsight. *** Those who exasperate most often bring most to the discussion. That's how I'll remember Louisa... and I hope that she will return.

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
