*Bob* Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 It has a very exclusive gene pool. Though that isn't necessarily a good thing, by the looks of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee82 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Ahh I think Ive seen this place...its opposite the chippy on Grove Vale isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckhamgatecrasher Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 That gaffe has a swimming pool. I know cos Princess Di wanted the RAC to close off their pool for her exclusive use while it was being refurbished. She was given short shrift. Bally good chaps those motorists.

PeckhamRose Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmora Man Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 That road actually has some lovely houses on it and the views must be fantastic.The views from Marmora Road (north side) are even better - tho' perhaps I'm prejudiced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophiesofa Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 the summer house has a clock tower! lets all plonk an extra clock and add a 0 on the end of the value of our homes (not that i have one yet but will bear it in mind when i do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamRose Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Not as useful as a birdfeeder and birdbox, but hey, if it adds value - (looks for weatherproof clock, leans out window and hangs it on side of birdfeeder so they know what time it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillywoman Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I agree KC,Though they're clearly on their uppers as they've had to nick a pub garden table and benches to eat their tea at (Note to self; they probably don't have 'tea', they have 'dinner'). I hope they get the money they need poor souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be ironic.Yes I know nothing better to do with my time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zephyr Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess.I Chuckle sadly at the nonsense of it all and wish there were more interesting subjects to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

thebeard Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 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?

zephyr Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 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?
