Where I grew up we didn't have mains water. It was all very civilised with an automatic pump bringing water from a well into the household plumbing, but every so often it would dry up for a day or so at a time in hot summers and we'd just nip down to the shops and buy some. Likewise, being out in the sticks we were subject to quite a few power cuts in the winter. We just lived with it; I hasten to add that was Devon in the '90s, I'm not talking the mists of time or a far away land).

Here's Chris71 making his way to his sixth form college, before he moved to civilisation.

I think it's due to the area you live in and its inhabitants. The riots at the local Ikea would have been a good pre-warning.

That's not local. Could've been on the other side of the planet.

ETA: Just read Mickk grew up in Edmonton. Makes my point exactly.

It's about 3 miles away.

I know where it is. But, it's a completely different part of the city. Ethnically, architecturally, historically and every other "ally".

Enfield is a toilet. People live there because their poor and cannot live in a better part of london. Its like a special needs center crossed with a Dole office /immigration center.

people are unable to think for themselves these days... I can imagine them turning up in their "Ugg" boots and tattoos looking like obese Jordans with a fresh spray on tan . Their B/f's looking like a fall out from a Scoobynet meet, all wondering how to get the water home.

let them die ...who cares?

Quite scarily true, especially enfield town.

The sticky bits are a lot nicer though

Dunno, wouldn't say no to one of the Elizabethan houses on Gentleman's Row. Particularly the one with the nice shiny Aston parked outside. That is probably the only part of Enfield I'd consider living in if it wasn't for necessity though.

And Blib - a hay cart - really? Please! We had threshing machines by the time I left Devon...

It's inside the M25, that satisfies the criteria for me. That and the fact there's a long, uniterupted chain of gridlock, misery and crime between here and the Thames.

Should have come through the resevoirs to Chingford where the sun always shines, the girls are pretty and the taps never run dry.

Enfields problem is being west of the river Lea, where the badlands start!

I care, I care a lot...... think of all the Benefits that would be saved if they did all die. Plus the general cleaning up of the gene pool, the shallow end wouldn't be as shallow!

You should tell the authorities that.

"London Borough of Enfield Homepage"

[silverthorn2151]

Correct me if I'm worng, but Enfield, whilst it is a London Borough doesn't have a London postcode. Like Ilford, or even Romford. London Boroughs, but firmly Essex, unlike us in Chngford, who would happily (and indeed once was) be Essex but are London Brough of Waltham Forest (commie scum) with a London E4 postcode.




edited to say I just re-read my post and hadn't realised what a boring I have become.

I've got a London postcode (N14). My Council is Enfield. Though, cross my road and you enter Barnet.

Is that some form of threat?

I was married at "Gentlemans Row" last month ! must admit the location is nice... But just around the corner is the town center !

Shame that the Wimpy bar closed. Recently, the one at Tally Ho shut too. I'm down to the one on Southgate Circus.

Gutted.

I lived in Enfield borough - Winchmore Hill, which was nicer than Gentleman's Row, apart from the footballers on the Broadwalk. Anyway, our postcode was N21 - a London postcode.

I am also quite boring, but I already knew it before re-reading my post
