It's also about how you make a point. As has previously been said, doing it in a sneery, derisory manner about the place and people that gave you your 'fortune' is never going to win many plaudits...

On glue ?


What's that supposed to mean, really ?


The feeling i'm getting is someone who's disenchanted with where they live, which is fine. But if you've invested in an area both structurally and emotionally, then that's at odds with most others who've done the same. It's a good and ever changing area, overall


However, if you're in the position of seeing property values climb beyond your reach, as many people are in London, then that's a different perspective.

I'm also sure that if you took a straw pole of those people who have moved to, or continues to live here, then they'd have a more positive view of their choices, investment and area


And the friend from the rolling hills, she's happy with her lot now I see. Except it seems a bit disingenuous, to have made so much from an investment her family made, only to come back and bad mouth the very place of her good fortune


Are you sure it's not you, projecting your feelings through her ?


Maybe copy her in, then "she" could express her views in person

Leaving aside these conceptually challenging concepts such as 'capital city' and 'rural england' for a moment:


Assuming trading-in a house on Dunstans for a rustic idyll was at least as great a swap twenty years ago as it is now - doesn't that mean she herself was an idiot for many years - right up until the point she wised-up and left the shithole?


Or has she declared herself the last non-idiot to leave town?

So surely just as the city is not for everyone, neither are the rolling hills and agricultural odours of Herefordshire.


I would agree that some people appear to have an over-inflated opinion of ED. But that doesn't mean it's a bad place to live, or that anyone who hasn't cashed in and upped sticks is a mug. If you want to live in London and can't/won't spend over a million for a house... it's as good an option as any.

Erm...it is


And without further ado ..


"The Best Boozer in East Dulwich" goes jointly to...


Jah & Louisa


Jah could I believe, take anyone on and knock 'em down & Louisa in her own words could "drink a pub dry"


Congrats

While East Dulwich, West Dulwich and Dulwich Village are separate districts, surely they all fall within the area of Dulwich.


I don't think it's the same situation as somewhere like Hampstead, where "Hampstead" and "Hampstead Village" are synonymous, and South & West Hampstead are considered separate areas. See also Kensington.
