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.

    • 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.
