I don't doubt you.
I find it even harder to believe that someone who lives in luxury to appreciate what North End has to offer. Perhaps it's the Sunday meat raffle at the Pelham??

I'm not saying I would want to live there but I really don't see how moving to a soulless indentikit Australian suburb is any improvement

Hey, I'm not moving

daisylilymum

Great for people watching

Grayling

I know

I quite like inner cities....I have worked in some what are considered really rough places...and don't see all the problems people talk about....I used to live in Camberwell and drink in Brixton and Peckham but never felt unsafe.

Did I see you in Peckham?? I lived in Woolwich for a couple of years, used to drink in Peckham from time to time.........Wouldn't do it again!! That's the thing I think - I'm a country gal through & through. Give me a field and a horse anyday

Grayling

I live amongst fields now ....have done for years in fact.

Not sure about horses though....the ones I back should be kept in a field ... there are a couple in the field next to my house but they are not mine.

I used to knock about with lots of Police officers from Peckham....they really were scary

daisylilymum

Have lot's of horses around.

Did you know any Police Officers from Greenwich?? They were just pissed usually and not very scary!!

Grayling

Not from Greenwich....we used to go to watch Charlton though

Mate of mine worked at the Military hospital.....I was at the Maudsley.

Although I dont live in Portsmouth, my 'foreign' husband has had quite a few comments about 'taking our jobs'.

I had to laugh at someone telling me that they were moving to Oz because of the foreign workers 'nicking jobs' and when this person got to Oz, he was clearly disgusted because he was told by one Aussie to 'go home and stop taking our jobs'.

So I am afraid I just dont get it with the not liking of foreign workers taking jobs because fair enough, perhaps some may work for less and undercut other skilled people but the fault really lies with the employer who is prepared to pay peanuts in the first place.

I do get a touch fed up when people say this about foreigners in the UK. Because English people think absolutely nothing of doing the same when they are abroad.

My foreign husband has worked his nuts off to get where he is and to be honest, if anyone threw that comment at him - he would laugh at them.

Leaving the country because of migrants to become one yourself does not make sense.

Oh yes, I am not a UK basher before anyone jumps on me. I like the UK and just want to try something else.

I worked (and lived) at the Brook Hospital & Greenwich GH

Best wishes
