Hi! Well-off commuter resident of Croydon here!

The only reason I ever have for going in to central Croydon is to drink
at the Dog n Bull occasionally. There is literally nothing else there of
any interest to me whatsoever. I have local greengrocers and butchers,
and everything else is either delivered from the interwebs or not
available in Croydon town centre anyway.

well I havent been down the market for a few years as I havent lived
in Croydon since 1971, but we used to have poetry readings at the Dog & Bull
in the mid 60's, and Croydon was pretty awful then
