Welcome to the forum computedshorty.


Before starting threads you might want to try doing a search, using the search box top right, to see if there's already a thread running on your topic that you could add to. The forum has been running for a while now and lots of things have come up before. It's always good to hear new voices and new opinions, but seeing the same threads satrted over and over does start to get a bit dull.

Don't be put off computedshorty... I found it very interesting. Maybe I missed the fascinating previous thread.

Actually, think I might have seen it but it wasn't very good. Nobody mentioned people like James Nesbitt, Jenny Eclair, the girl from Gavin and Stacey, Monica Ali or a number of other people.

The forum is for everyone not just those who are long in the tooth and continually looking for something new.

Since you missed them, Gimme, here's the first thread, the second thread, the third threadand the fourth thread on the topic.


You're obviously not alone in finding the subject fascinating and, if you look through, you'll find everyone you've listed plus an awful lot more mentioned.


I'm not trying to put anyone off, but it does get a bit tedious when things just go round and round.

I'm with Anna.


If you are new you cannot be expected to read the whole back catalogue, but that is where the search function comes in handy.


After sometime on here, you will be old hands and experience the same groan when someone new starts something old.

Surely the idea of the Gossip section is for bored people to kill a few minutes / hours etc.

So what if the discussion has been had before. "Famous people in Dulwich" is hardly a thread designed to exchange information.


I can see the point of someone asking "anyone got any advice on sash windows" and being pointed to the thousands of posts on it but the point of gossiping isn't the same. Computedshorty probably didn't start the thread to get information but rather to have a natter and kill a bit of time.


Do we really want guardians of the forum who tell people what they can and cant natter about?

I don't. If I see a thread that asks "what's the best curry in ED?" I just don't open it.

If you don't like what's on, change channel.

    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
    • For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.
