You have to be joking. You cannot legitimately include "exceptionally
good" and "Jamie Oliver's" in the same sentence.

organic stores.


BFD. Camden town has all that sort of stuff and thats a festering hole as well.

If Boltar thinks that represents a 'godforsaken dump' I feel sorry for him.


Anywhere in that south london area is a dump. I know people who live there
thinks its wonderful but thats because they never venture anywhere decent.

Each to their own. I've was born and brought up in Twickenham, lived in
Kingston, Hampstead, Finchley, Bounds Green and now in Balham (for the past
25 years) and I know which I prefer.

Oh, and I worked in Soho most of my life, except when I was in Chelsea and
Los Angeles.

So I've been to lots of decent places - and I live in one now! Keep smiling,
Boltar, we south Londoners just want to give you a lovely big hugggg!

So Boltar is a North London chauvinist on top of everything else!

Given that the aproximate boundry of London is the NCR and the Thames,
I'd say he was a London chauvinist...

I mean, Clapham is in Surrey, not London...

Sorry but this link just gives me a 404.


You need to include the last letter of the link, which was line-
wrapped. Here it is again, hopefully unwrapped this time:

http://northernlineextension.com/med...s_lr_pages.pdf


If you enclose any link which may wrap in and , then good news/mail-
reading agents, not only such as yours but also inferior ones, will
recognise the wrapped URL as a unit.

And, of course, Clapham Junction is in Battersea, not Clapham!

Perhaps you can no longer afford to move so you're trying to convince yourself
that Balham is lovely.
