Orange is often said to symbolise courage and creativity

It is uplifting...

It stimulates the appetite, social interaction and even the metabolism

It refers to positivity, energy and warmth

It is a vital colour in the food chain, Vit A, Vit C and so on


Orange is a wonderful colour *Bob*, it even cheered up Rothko for a while

Can lead to controversy in Norn Iron though Charlies.

And of course would be derided by those who had experienced poor service from the portable 'phone company of the same name.

Pondering the former I found myself in a state of some melancholy. I wandered hither and yon, deep in thought and with no mind to any destination. My revery was pulled up short by the sound of amplified music.

I found myself quite by chance and likely as not having passed every other bar on Lordship Lane, outside the Vale.

I can't say that some mystical force had drawn me there. I can't say it hadn't either.

I entered the bar and for some reason and don't ask me why because I'd never even heard of it before, ordered an orange 'juice'.

As the barkeep poured the bright libation I swear I saw a wink of Florida sun spring forth.

Raising the glass to my gorgeous pouting lips, I took a deep draught.


It was OK I suppose, nothing to write home to my cousins about though.

On the other hand it made me feel better about the colour orange.

But the main thing is I'll never go anywhere else from now on but the Vale, for pretty much all my meals and any liquids I might require (unfortunately they're not open for breakfast, I feel a petition coming on!!!).


From now on my motto is 'When life seems of no avail, go to the Vale, there's vail to spare'.

????' date=' just in case you thought I wasn't being serious about orange... thought i better put the record straight, [b']I was[/b]... Colour theory is a fascinating subject and very few people are aware of the direct impact colour has on physical and mental well being...


the human eye can detect over 10 million colours, and each colour has a different impact (I could expand on some to the scientific research that has been done in this area but...)


Interestingly, the brian has no capacity for accurately recording or remebering colour, so keep looking and keep enjoying

    • I'd try the Dulwich Village or "North Dulwich Triangle" forums for more local knowledge but I don't think those areas compare to Abeville Road at all. It will be quite a different lifestyle.
    • Yes, Dulwich Village commands a premium and justifiably so given access to the City via London Bridge plus the top rate schools within walking distance.  The bus services are really good also - 37, 42 and P4. The P4 is useful for connecting to the Victoria line at Brixton. It's worthwhile waiting for the right property. I know of one which will be coming on the market in a few weeks - 4 bedrooms and south facing garden circa £2.5m.
    • This is an utterly foolish and alarmist statement, completely at odds with reality.
    • I realise this is highly unlikely, but if anyone has a colour laser printer in very good working order, I'd be delighted to take it off your hands!
