Very interesting story this, and reminds me of the adverts that appeared when the flats in Aura Court ("the local Aylsham Centre offers a goodchoice of shops" my arse!) were selling, often off-plan.


I live in one of the red brick flats up the hill from it, and round the corner from ?2m house on Colyton. My flat has an uninterrupted view across the London skyline, and a fabulous park across the road which my flat does overlook (I refer to it as the front garden) with Nunhead Cemetery behind us (the back garden). Having lived here for 25 years I never need much reminding just how fabulous the area is, and yet the advertising lifestyle package that goes with these c.?300,000 flats - (let alone a ?2m house which doesn't have great views, does not strictly overlook the park as advertised since it is not above it, but across the road from it) - remind me of the lifestyle I should be living in the flat I also own so close by.

So I went to Ikea and bought a nice cream rug and bought an overpriced slice of average carrot cake the other day in the park cafe.

Now I'm there. I'm there!

Cor a right sad bunch of comments on here!


Envy and desire all mixed up you sad foolish1?s.


Who gives a damn!


The market will find its price in terms of affordability need and that?s how it?s been since the beginning of time.


What is this East Dulwich Socialist central!


I am truly saddened by the visible lack of shame this kind of thread does nothing but drag us all down.


Shame on you all!


Busy Busy bodies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Achieving absolutly NOTHING!

I see your point. but bla bla bla bla bla lalalalalalalalalalalalal would be a more concise rounded retort.


More fun too.

If they did they?d be moronic.


What would be ironic would be a ?250,000 flat with 10 million quids worth of antique furniture where the owner was broke and he / she didn't know it was worth squillions.

That would be ironic.


Yes I know nothing better to do with my time too.

Back to the original house. Do you think the price reflect (partly) that it now has a blue plaque on it as Percy Lane Oliver used to live and work there. The place is missing on the original picture of the front of the house but is there on a second. I noticed it when I was running past yesterday. Hence why it is called Oliver House.

So what are they trying to get blood out of bricks and mortar?


Blimey I still really do have too much time on my hands!

I've joined the thread


"4 those with too much time on our hands lets ask some incredible stupid questions about the price of a house thread".


Can the thread title be changed?


I can think of even more suitable titles. Mostly including swear words tho.

Chuckle.


thebeard... you've only posted nineteen times on the forum, twelve of which have been on housing threads. That means 63% of what you have to say is about housing.


Without a doubt, you're the most housing obsessed person on this forum. By a f*cking HUGE margin.


It is therefore, with much irony..... etc. etc.

As a Beard and not a Bird.


I?ve found property a rather more interesting subject on the forums threads than cafe culture, organic bull turd and baby nappies.


Also rather difficult to get excited about robbery and dog?s poo on the pavements.


Time is limited I?m amazed I?ve posted anything.


How the busy NIMBY bodies busy themselves on here with their stupid questions and idiotic views.


I felt (idiotically) compelled to redress the balance more fool me! I guess.


I Chuckle sadly at the nonsense of it all and wish there were more interesting subjects to read.

Well, of course, there are.


Out of around 150,000 posts on the forum (10,000 by erm...), only 3,000 are property related.


So arguably for other people there are plenty more interesting subjects to read (98%), but none that interest you. QED you regard property as the only interesting subject.


Since they are by your definition 'stupid questions and idiotic views', then that's what you find interesting.


Ergo, your compulsion to redress is ill-advised. You'll only remove the only subject you find interesting.

You don't half write a load of boxxocks!


Just exactly why are you standing up for people who stick their noses into the price of someone else?s house? Or worst.


I don?t go round looking at what other people have spent on their cars or clothes and ridicule them or question their spending.


As I stated early on what anyone asks for his or her house flat or shxit hole is his or her business.


The market will decide the price!


I find it particularly idiotic. Like 98% of the other boxxocks on here. The 3,000 properties related posts are mostly bollocks too.


WHY stick your nose into other peoples business?






Methinks the lady doth protest too much!



What R U some kind of thick xxxx?

Darling? Scintillating thread?

Are you taking the pixx.

Such a Polite bunch of superior Twats and so familiar too.

Guess it?s ok to pry and get busy and get familiar and condescending too.


If we were French we?d be blabbing on about building our next new house and burning sheep in the road outside.


If we were Italian we?d be voicing the merits of one door design and colour over another.


If we were German we?d be making the most technically advanced housing possible.


But as we are East Dulwich we are wondering how someone else has the audacity to ask X price for their shack and oh dear have you seen the state of their cheap furniture.


It?s only because we put up with such shallow shite that we live in such shit surrounded by scum.



This is about as scintillating as it could possibly get, don?t you think?

Me thinks 'thebeard' is after a wordy fight.


You don't happen to live there do you? Or are connected with it in some other way. You are protesting rather a lot about this particular thread.


I still think the owners are trying to cash in on the blue plaque thingy.


Oh..... and 'thebeard', I am allowed an opinion aren't I?

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
