Also please let's not weigh into someone when they've been brave enough to mention they've been dealing with depression! Personal comments may have much more of an effect than you intended. Emmableu, good to hear ED is a happier place for you and I hope it stays that way.
Spoken like a true Londoner, Louisa. I've just been reading an autobiography from the 1870s in which the author says that even as a child she knew that London was the ultimate destination because there are no road signs in the middle to other places, which is still true in a way.

Fair point, no "weighing in" was really intended, but I still think the post was needlessly shitty about a place people live. Suggesting that people from an area are aggressive and that there is no community feel is not right. Of course people are entitled to an opinion, but if they voice it like that, then it's little wonder the community didn't welcome her with open arms.


Personally I have felt more community in Penge than I have since the CPT closed in ED.

I think a lot of the negativity may be down to Pengenvy.


I have never knowingly been to Penge or encountered a Pengian but if that noble borough (district? terminus?) were to have an open day we could all flock there (even the Pengenvious) to observe life at the end of the 176 rainbow and peer through the rim of the dome to see what lies beyond.


Would we need a picnic?

I can see your point, and sorry if my post came across as aimed at you in particular as that wasn't my intention. I know one or two people who've been badly bruised in this forum so it was more in that spirit.

Capital E and D?. Viewings lined up for Saturday. Once word is out I'm sniffing around the area prices bound to rocket...

Emmableu - whereabouts did you live in Penge? Bad neighbours exist everywhere, you're either lucky or you're not, but if genuine I'm sorry that was what happened to you.


Parkdrive - You're still coming across as an attention seeking buffoon. You came out with some wild accusations about personal knowledge of weapons and crime in Penge that have since been proven to be utter nonsense. Wind your neck in.

Posted in wrong thread!

As I said earlier, you post something on here contrary to other views and this is what you get. Did you have a drink before you wrote this or are you always so obnoxious? But thanks for proving I was right about anyone daring to post a contrary view to the great and good of the EDF, I guess you flatter yourself to think you are among those. Now you wind your neck in. Tool.

Yours was more than an opinion PD. You didn't say "I don't like Penge, it's a bit grim and feels a bit rough to me". That is an opinion.


You basically said Penge is a rough dump where crime is high and you'll likely get attacked. That's not an opinion that's just a nonsense (the likely to get attacked bit - if you think it's grim that's fair enough).

Just to say that Dartford has a WAITROSE, while ED and Penge don't, so suck on THAT!



BTW, good to see the return of the estimable EDF term 'cookwank' on this thread.

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
