    I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for you not keeping to your signature! So I'll just eat them for you because that's the kind of nice guy that I am. :)

    Croydon born and bred but living in Bromley at the moment. And probably for the long-haul, it's nice there! Well, compared to Croydon anyway...

    I'm having a :mad: day too.



    Then I went into town to post some ebay stuff at the sorting office. i was no more than 10 mins and I came out to a parking ticket. The bloke was there and I said, what the hell is this for. he said, your back wheels are on the yellow lines. Seriously, if they were it was no more than 1". I argued, he grinned and said tough. So I called him a ****.

    Toto - I would complain about this, honestly put in an appeal. I've heard of people doing this before and they've got thier money back. It's worth a try?

    I did a parkrun in Croydon recently - seemed okay - then some guy got shot there a few weeks ago :eek:

    (mind you meant to say was walking to work this morning and summat Policey was going on in the sq on page street, behind milbank - full on forensics and that all sealed off :eek:)

    Guessing you're closer in to London then? Yea, Croydon is okay in parts and I've never had trouble there but then maybe because I didn't wander around some bits!

    Yeah I live in Pimlico and work in Embankment - thinking about moving out to Greenwich in a year or so though as I hate sharing and round this way is very expensive! Not very MSE to be spending 1/2 of your income on rent :eek:

    And so you want to move to Greenwich?? lolz... seems a bit self-defeating! I was in Greenwich Market last week end and saw some of the rent/buy prices in estate agent windows. Almost fell over. :)

    I spend 29% of mine...
