clive3300 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I quite agree. But I have seen numbers like this often quoted. I wonder on what they are based?25k is really house-share territory Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3350-blue-mountain-cafe-walked-out-lounged/page/5/#findComment-106424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisa Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 North and Mid Devon and Cornwall respectively account for the bottom three poorest rural council areas in England and Wales. Yet as Cassius quite rightly points out, these apparantly poor people live longer than anyone else statistically across the whole country. Why? Because not all working class people eat battered sausages every night of the week, some of them enjoy home cooked meals with some of the freshest and yet cheapest ingredients from their source in these rural areas. Urbanite middle class people honestly believe that they are better off because of their money and status, but this is in general a long way from the truth.Louisa Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3350-blue-mountain-cafe-walked-out-lounged/page/5/#findComment-106470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassius Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 But LouisaThe people statistically most likely to die young in the same survey were the working classes from the North East where they do eat battered sausages (and smoke more tabs) and that's not even mentioning Scotland........

clive3300 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 And if I was going to die 10 years younger, Id prefer it was from excessive fun, travel and a great lifestyle, then too many battered sausages.

isarens Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 frightfully bourgeois, ditzy, chaotic, and a little stressful but the food quality tends to be better here than anywhere else. The Kurdish Cafe on Bellenden road would be the best place around in terms of price and service but unfortunately they don't serve proper coffee and their sausages are pink sawdust.

Polly D Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Went to the Blue Mountain Cafe for lunch yesterday and found myself wondering whether the staff had read this thread. They couldn't have been more friendly and attentive. It was rammed, so clearly a popular choice. And only a few prams. Yum food, not too expensive. I am loving seeing how the other half live now not at work.
