When you say installations, are you drawing attention to the frightfully working class displays of bad taste? If you are, then I'm afraid I've no 'fab' recommendations to offer.


I don't know if it's because they have more occasions to celebrate (being wealthy 'n' all), but the homeowners in Dulwich village seem to have a more reserved, yet charming Yuletide decorations and don't insist on 'pimping' their property to the point of wanton abandon. The tree is meant to be on the inside, if you know what I mean.


Then again, they probably don't drink Stella Artois either.

The only conclusion I can draw from these gaudy beacons of deplorable taste is that serve as a reminder to Santa Claus not to forget them on his journey. This is because the occupants of these ostentatious nightmares had poor parents who spent their money on alcohol and lottery tickets instead of presents of any value for their children. So in adult life, after being so monsterously let down by an absent minded Father Christmas, they unveil the landing lights in the hope that Dasher and Prancer will spot them from on high.


Divs.

Don't think TM would spell monstrously with an 'e', but excellent employment of the word 'div', I thought.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
