Just as a matter of interset, I was wondering where everyone lived, not specificly just a general area kind of thing.

I think its because I like to try and get a sense of people and knowing where people are, gives me an idea of the kinds of things that might have an influence on your daily lives, I mean living in London is a different enviroment from living in bournemouth, different sights and sounds, diferent people and attitudes. in fact while i`m being so nozy, if you don't like where you live, where would you like to live? (in this country that is)

I`m in bournemouth and wouldn't move anywhere.

Amazing! Mark Brown, Alison Brown (are you two related?) and Jay..we are neighbours! I live in Brockley but get my fruit and veg from Lewisham and Deptford. My favourite place for fresh meat is Mr Wellbeloved the Butcher who must be practically on Mark Brown's doorstep. oh i say, what good company i keep. I grew up in Altrincham so neil_the_auditor is also a kind of neighbour. Was born in Cardiff and went to college in Cambridge. My bank account details are as follows:

Deptford is indeed the land of 'Squeeze'. 'Cool for Cats' was written about the Deptford Arms on Deptford High Street. Jules of course moved up the hill to Blackheath where he can still be seen racing about in his open top roadster, scarf flying. He still knocks about the pubs in Greenwich, if not Deptford. Deptford is also a land of pirates and skulduggery, the darkside of Greenwich's Imperial splendour.

I live somewhere between Deptfort , Blackheath, Greenwich and Woolwich have done all my life and know them all so well. In the old days Deptfort was always known as dirty Deptfort. Wish I lived in Bournemouth and have always fancied Ireland as I love Irish people...

Jay, well I never! You must live fairly near to me! I bet you haven't half got some stories to tell about the area I now call my own. I live opposite the bottom of Deptford High Street, and I see stories happening there all the time, so how many stories must there be from times that have gone by?

I also have a soft spot for Deptford but not for London, ..if they could cut Deptford out of the map and put it in between Blackburn and Bolton I'd be happier. This would almost make Darwen hip, as well. Christopher Marlowe was stabbed to death in a pub in Deptford (the reliable 'Shakespeare in Love' video informs one) ..I wonder which one. I am on a sabbatical in Korea (but don't tell my parents, they'll kill me) [%sig%]

fancy that Spag, you and me neighbours...have you ever been to the Sutton Writers Circle...? my wife used to be a member and we still get information about meetings, but she hasn't been for ages.... actually we do most of our shopping in Sutton...wouldn't it be funny if we met up and it turned out I was that driver who cut you up and swore at you the other day, or vice versa... if it was me I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have done it...and if it was you, well, you should be ashamed of yourself...

Liana we are often on the same wave length wonder why that is. That weeny village does sound idyllic so nice to have found somewhere where one is happy. I'm happy at the moment because I have found threads I can and want!! to answer but much better still I am getting some answers back, very rear!! but when it happens no matter how short!! it gives me a sence of belonging instead of giving it all my end and then being left out in the cold. Now I am about to answer another thread that make it three on the trot, haven't had it so good in a long!! time no wonder I thought Mark Browns thread so right and said as much on Jayarebee thread to Goat Junior. No it won't last but happyness is not an everyday thing in most people's life's because life its self is just not like that, more's the pity.

Get out a map and find the A1/A14 junction. Go east a bit (that's right for the ladies, no I said right...ok, turn the map upside down if you prefer) then go up a bit (north) and I'm somewhere near there

Hi Mark, Loads of never ending stories, My Uncle Joe always lived in dirty Deptford as it was always!! called he was my dad's brother and as my dad died when I was only a year old he sort of stood in for him if you know what I mean having no kids of his own, he would never live anywhere else than Deptfort because he loved it there. My grandfather, my mum's Father was a proof reader for a news paper for years at a big building in Greenwich which is still standing today and he once told me his work was to read everything backwards correcting all grammer while doing it, I think he did that boy and man for 50ys odd years some going...

I know the A5 it has loads of round abouts - does the A1 have more round abouts than the A5? Is it as boring as the A5?

I'm in Kentish Town, north London sat in the throbbing nerve centre of the ABCtales empire. In the few hours of the week when I am not at work, I live in Deptford, south east London, which I love dearly.
