I do...quite happily, everyday...but:



You're the one who said Sydenham was never in Kent you ignorant fucking prick.

IT USED TO BE. LIVE WITH IT!
Just for the benefit of your clearly highly challenged observational skills, you might notice that I retracted this statement in what I consider a perfectly adult way in POST 57. Keeping up? GOOD.

But lo and behold, with that all debate must descend to a level befitting a retarded child like yourself. Oh well, never mind, eh?

I seriously suggest you make sure we never meet, you pathetic shit-for-brains cunt.

:)
 
Have lived in west norwood. Not great. Worst thing was lack of a decent supermarket, and with no car streatham is a bloody long way when you have a few bags of shopping.

Oh and the hills are a killer.

Then why the angriness in Post 58?

Enough anyway, it's a totally pointless thing to have an argument about.

Right! No decent supermarket..
Theres A CO-OP, not that big but it sells the regular stuff at CO-OP prices.. A Summerfield! not big, but sells products at summerfield prices. Theres a fantastic fruit & veg stall outside it, which is independently run by the Moore family, and sells fresh products that are just like sainsburys fruit & veg..
A huge Iceland that sells more than just frozen goods..
A halal Butchers Independently run,
A wet fish shop which again is Independently run..
Its got a great Organic store that sells all things Organic And yet Again thats Independetly run..
These are all in walking distance of each other in the main drag of west norwood, there are various other food outlets along the way..
So fuck the fucking mega super sainsburys ... who needs it really..
As for the hills. yeh thats life & exercise I.E walking is an integral part of life with limbs..
The nearest mega store is, yes Sainsburys streatham common, but really! do you need to shop for everything in one store..
I thought variety was the spice of life.
And since i've lived in Norwood I've become friends with lots of store owners, that treat you with respect & good will.
Maybe because they want your custom & your friendship to make there day go that bit better... or maybe because its called a community..
Rare in london...:)
 
Haha!! West Norwood!! haha... you may as well set up a tent in the middle of epping forest for the amount of 'amenities' round there! and you may as well travel from the Isle of Skye every day for how far away it is.
 
I'm moving to Leigham Court Road this weekend. Was taken with the leafy-ness of it, proximity to West Norwood/Streatham Hill stations, bus to Crystal Palace, Balham and Clapham.

I moved to Streatham Hill last year and have no desire to leave it, it's a gem of a place. If people think it seems grim that suits me - don't want it getting too popular! I will be closer to West Norwood, but it doesn't seem to bad either. I think it has six trains an hour to London Bridge and four to Victoria, the Victoria train takes about 18 minutes - hardly the middle of nowhere!
 
if i remember correctley, the abbey national in west norwood was the

most robbed bank in the uk :eek: but that was only because it was so far

away from any police station...... don`t forget the pound shop :)

Leigham Court Road links to West Norwood and to Upper Norwood where I live.

In the sense of being a part of the same interconnected road network? Rather like Oxford Street links to Piccadilly?;)

Eh?

Leigham Court Road runs from Streatham Hill to Streatham Common. Nowhere near West Norwood.

I can walk from my road in SE27 (west norwood) to Leigham court road in 37 seconds...

On that map you put on your post you can see a red line that carrys along leigham court road.. That line shows you the boundary for SE27 & SW16
Streatham & West Norwood...
So if you live in a house on leigham court road your garden would be in west norwood.
So You are right, leighham court road is nowhere near west norwood. its very near, in fact it is the boundary line between the two post codes.......

I only work in Norwood and don't live there, and some days I pine for a Sainsburys or Asdas. I've only been working in the area a few months and I've seen some pretty brazen attempts to shoplift alcohol from Somerfield when I've been in there (and people always mistake me for a somerfield shop assistant ffs :mad: ).

I don't really have much to offer on the subject apart from that. The graveyard is full and there are more than enough takeaways down that one way system.

MIDDLESEX DOESN'T EXIST.

Sure it does, it's the heart of New Jersey.

:D

Seriously though, this had me so confused when I first moved to London. I'm in Tottenham which would have been Middlesex long ago, but sometimes people still talk of it as being Middlesex. I was occasonally very confused as to whether I was in London or not. It seemed like London, it's zone 3, the buses are all London buses, but every so often I would see an address such as Tottenham High Road, Middlesex. :confused:

Also we're south of Enfield, which only ever seems to refer to itself as the London Borough of Enfield. So I was picturing Middlesex county as a being a very funny shape which jutted right into London and curved along under Enfield. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Thank goodness for Wiki.

Sorry to but in but what's the Hamilton Road part of West Norwood like? Me and the missus were looking at a House round there the other day and didn't really know what to make of the area.

Thanks in advance.....

It's grim. We looked there, bit of a wasteland feel. High street is barely a high street. There is a candle shop open about 3 hours a week though.
I hated it ... Come to where we are its lovely :)
 
when i lived in west norwood 10 years ago, our local chippy had a fruit machine. one day two chaps in overalls arrived and explained that the machine was due for a service. they took it away and neither they, nor the machine, ever did come back.

once upon a time, there was a very naughty milesy. he thought he would be clever and steal a brilliant email from a lovely genius, who lived very far away, and pretend that the genius email was his own, in a desperate and futile attempt to get people from the u75 village to like him.

and in a boastful and foolish way, he told the genius what he had done. and the genius sighed and thought "not again" and rolled his eyes like this :rolleyes: and he rung up his pervy friend and said:

"hello pervy friend, you know how you're always complaining that you'd like to shit on your wife's tits but she never lets you? well let me tell you, i have some good news for you. i have found the next best thing. milesy says he will gladly receive your payload, and will be very grateful for it too."

and the pervy friend was so happy he did a jig. and he danced all the way down to mankyland, where the foolish young milesy sat, ready to scoff his tea which didn't have any peas with it all, because he was strange. "ho ho ho" thought milesy, "i have certainly put one over on that MysteryGuest and make no mistake!". and he chortled and felt very very pleased with himself indeed, right then. he did a smile and everything, feeling that life was good. but suddenly in burst the pervy friend, full of manic scat energy! and before milesy had even eaten his first chip, the pervy friend had started to do a magic dance round milesy and made him dizzy. "oh oh!" cried the braggart milesy "what are you doing to me, you strange and curious man, i cannot stay upright and my clothes are coming off!" and milesy had to lie down, for the pervy friend's elfin dance had made him so bamboozled. and before he knew it, the dirty deed was done! of course milesy *wasn't* happy, and he cried like a girl, because he did not want a poo on his chest at all!

the genius had lied to his pervy friend , so wroth was he to have his email stolen by a ne'er-do-well like milesy. and then milesy's wife came home and saw the mess and soundly beat him with a carpet beater, and milesy was sent to bed without his tea.

and that's what happens when naughty milesys try to put one over on MysteryGuest.


THE END.
 
i am simply high on life, and the lord (2g genuine Jesus extract, smoked)

i lived in auckland hill in se27 for over 3 years. it was fucking dire. the flat was brilliant though - 2 bedrooms and a balcony for £170 pcm. :cool: but in the end the direness won and i had to get the fuck out.
