Hi mattindulwich18, I hope this thread has answered your question. What might happen next is that as the thread has gone off topic and is getting "chatty" so The Administrator may step in and move it to the Lounge area, you may have seen the word "Lounged" mentioned elsewhere on the site.


It usually happens when someone drops into a thread something along the lines that East Dulwich was better 100 years/10 years/1 year ago when there were no babies (and accompanying prams) around, everyone was poor but incredibly happy, the pubs were just perfect, all the shops were open and selling only things you needed and people in Clapham stayed in Clapham. There's also a few who just drop something like the aforementioned into conversation just to wind people up.


Sorry, gone off topic haven't I :-$

If using Cleethorpes as shorthand for "a land far far away" from ED is a problem for you then I am happy to use my hometown (Cork) as a substitute. When I were a lad we didn't even know what a Mexican restaurant or Italian Shoe was, much less be envious of those towns that did have them



And Mockney - you have already been told off for using emoticons as a cheap substitute for good writing - sort it ! (6)

For all of you who are sick of ED, I highly recommend a holiday home in Burnley, Lancs. Plenty of authentic pound shops, a Gala Bingo, Lidl and the highlight of the town centre.......a new Job Centre. Food options are chips, rank kebabs, and All You Can Eat Whippets. Not forgetting the memorable trip to Turf Moor Football ground to see the Clarets and eat a Baltic Chicken Pie with free salmonella guaranteed. Local pastimes include hanging out at the bus station, and betting on how many fights you will see in town on a Saturday night.


3 bed terraced houses from only ?40k (a steep increase from the ?15k they were a few years back, mind). I am sure there are a few locals who would consider a Cultural Exchange.


Yours


A Burnley Girl.

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
