What a day! Beer at the Windmill pub, Clapham Common

[doodab]

I'm not surprised you don't like London, you seem to have lived in all the tulipholes.

PS How's Wimbledon "Village", as you call it?

So now you confess your manor is a tuliphole. You do realise the reason house prices have become stupid in your area is because people with only a million to spend have been priced out of the nicer areas don't you?

You seem to be a little thick. I don't live in Clapham. I live in what agents call the Toast Rack near Wandsworth station. Very far from being a tulip hole.
You on the other hand seem to live in the crappy part of Wimbledon, yet refer to it as the "Village". You make me larf.

You said you went drinking in the windmill, which is a two minute walk from where i used to live. You then say it's a tuliphole. Is it or isn't it, and if it is why do you go there?

I live on the edge of wimbledon common just around the corner from the hand in hand etc, not sure why you think it's crappy, perhaps lacking a prison and riots means it's not "edgy" enough for you?

It's simple. Anywhere that isn't Sas's house is crappy. Anywhere that is Sas's house is the greatest place in all the world.

HTH

I think Clapham Common/South is OK if a little young. I certainly don't recognise your description of loads of yellow boards etc. London does change you know.
So you don't live in the village proper then?

The yellow boards were a regular fixture around clapham south 8-10 years ago. I don't think it's improved that much, gone downhill if anything judging by my last visit a few years back. Oblivion was always fun though. The trouble is however gentrified it gets you are never more than 5 or 10 minutes from some fairly manky estates, so will always get a bit of that spilling over.

The only thing between me and the high street is the village green. What would you call it if not the villiage?

Wasn't it set on the south coast, ie. where the Germans would be landing if they crossed the channel? How the hell would they pop up in south-west London?

Could have sailed up the Thames in their u-boat, no? Imagine that.

That settles it - will be watching Das Boot blu ray tonight...

If they'd used Google Maps for navigation.
