Easy reach.... that's difficult to define. Wimbledon is the only place where you can get those things at easy reach. Are you on the river Wandle??? :-)

Correct, our resident Italian stallion gets it spot on. Shame on you, Slave, for knowing so little about your own country.

Not on the river no, but when I take the dogs for a walk in the morning I often walk alongside it.

Franco, you haven't been conned into buying one of those new development "executive apartments with a taste of riverside living" have you? You know, the ones that were touted as exclusive developments but look like student halls of residence and are located in the Premier Lodge car park? Oh, and I quite liked the sales spiel about the "two exclusive on-site restaurants" - a KFC and a Pizza Hut!

I'm assuming you've never been there if you think Croydon can in any way, shape or form be described as "a leafy south-west London suburb".

No, not Croydon (praise be to Allah).

It considers itself London, and it's roughly to the SW. It has a tram link. As for being leafy...the Whitgift Centre is a wonderful place and not at all full of chavs.

Unless, of course, you're posh and live in Fulham. In which case, your name is Thomas Leighton Marmaduke Pink III, and I claim my soiled £5.

Funny the number of times people say that to me

Croydon's got the country's biggest Poundland so it's always a must visit destination for the Lucifers just before Christmas to do their present buying.

The bit of Croydon going out toward Brighton is posh. Ronnie Corbett and Dot from EastEnders live that way. Croydon did have an OK indie/alternative club once, I think it was called stairways

Is that Purley or environs? I seem to recall driving out that way once and being quite surprised, thinking "oh, this is quite nice".

[Bagpuss]

It's Purley I think. There are some nice big houses along that way. I like some of sarf london e.g. Beckinham but most of it is :-O

Paaaandlaaand? I've obviously missed that particular joy.

Ideal for Christmas presents for all the family.
