a few decades ago, I done some painting for lord Byrons family in wandsworth.
lobby had busts of family, paintings of Byrons hanging on walls etc.
Huge property, with corridors off corridors etc.
Battered old table in even older kitchen, just like uncle Montys gaff in 'withnail'

 


Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Not quite on the same level but as many of you know life in the DE household growing up was pretty cashless ( & not because we all had plastic charge accounts) so when I got to my mid 20s I viewed a significant level of personal success as being able to make a snap decision to go out for a curry or buy a new suit (or a purchase of similar standing, maybe £50 / £150) without having to save for some time to be able to afford it -

Kind of a "lightbulb" moment for me when I went through that period -

Would anyone truly posh need anywhere other than Jack Barclay in Berkeley Square?

I guess not. And with a helicopter in the yard, London will always be "local".

And they can always nip out and shoot a few nightingales.

I was watching one of these property house buying programmes during lock down and this stuck up couple wouldn’t even consider this beautiful house because it was in Sydenham. They wanted to live in Crystal Palace which the border was literally a couple of hundred yards away. Now I could understand if they were Palace fans, but they weren’t, they just considered it a better area even though this house in Sydenham was the next street

I know lots of people who live in:

Blackheath when they mean Lewisham

Abbey Wood* when they mean Thamesmead

*This one no longer works as people now call it Scabby Wood.

And my favourite. I was on an offsite course with a very arrogant woman who spent the entire week ignoring me or looking down her nose at me or making snotty remarks.

It turned out we both lived in Beckenham so I gave her a lift home only she lived in Elmers End not Beckenham and her place was not as nice as mine. Karma.

 


One more point

One of my brothers used to tell everyone they lived in Shirley when in reality their house was in Addiscombe
