I read with great interest in the FT about the young man who finds twitter pointless for young people and, in a rare moment, found I share a viewpoint with someone in their teens.


I've become quite savvy on the new media scale for an old fart. And though I may not fully understand it, the whole twitter world seems pointless. True, there appear to be a few people who excel at using it as a vehicle. But they were people who were interesting anyway. The onslaught of people posting mindless tweets about 'I'm am on the train to work' and 'tonight I cooked Delia's latest recipe' has not capture my interest. And, it appears, not the young generations either.


Do you tweet?

I created an account but rarely use it. I get email notifications when someone is 'following' me on Twitter even when there is nothing to follow. The one time I have found it useful was when on the way home a few weeks ago there was a massive diversion on Old Kent Road whereby it was closed off from Albany Road to Bricklayers Arms. Couldn't find anything on any news website about it but went on twitter and found a few people twittering about it and what had happened.

Twitter is a load of twatter. I think it has been overtaken by corporate companies and their tweets. Then again I can't stand the live feed bit on facebook, there's always one or two people who fill the page with stuff i have no desire to know such as james 7:43am I don't want to go to work. james 8:02 Leaving for work James 8:57: Ah i'm at work Jane (his grilfriend) 9:02 I know baby I don't want to be at work either. Who cares!

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
