I have just joined this forum and have noticed that there does not seem to be any normal people on here! Is ED full of SNUB carrying snobs? The thread re the catholic school has got me thinking should i be living in ED anymore?


Does anyone know where you can meet like minded people who like a couple of pints/read the currant bun/talk in a london accent/don't take themselves too seriously/like to have a laugh/laugh at themselves?


Is it just me and my close friends who are like the above or are there any others that exist in ED?


Come on lets stop ED being turned into ponceville. Keep the cafes the nice shops but lets lose the ponciness. Also if someone asks where is a good catholic school just tell them where and don't give your snotty opinion. MAN ALIVE

So - liking a couple of pints, reading the sun and speaking in a London accent is 'normal' is it?


Not for the majority of people it isn't, particularly those that don't come from London.


Shall we get into a philosophical discussion about what 'normal' is because it seems to me it is totally subjective.


Troll.


p.s. - you could try the Dulwich cafe or The Castle as a starting place. Or, you could try branching out a bit and meeting people who are not exactly the same as you and broaden your horizons.

Unfortunately I do not speak with any one of the many accents which could be described as ?London? nor do I read the Sun*. Please accept my most sincere apologies for my flagrant disregard of normality.


*Except when I pick it up on the train. **

    • Hi - I posted a request for some help with a stuck door and possible leaky roof. I had responses from Lukasz at Look_as.com and Pawel at Sublime Builders. I don't see any/many reviews - has anyone used either person?  Could use a recommendation rather then just being contact by the tradespeople... Many Thanks 
    • I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson rather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.  
    • We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.
    • Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.
