oh its a fairly easy life for lots as you don't have minted just basically move down with little mortgage .
oh and lots of natives are ,how shall i put this , a bit lazy as trying to get them to do stuff can be difficult though that helped my old man do well with the business he bought .
The mortgage thing might have been the case in the past. But house prices down here are on a par with some parts of London now, whilst wages are still well below the national average.
What was the business your old man had ?
Meh…died down too quick for my liking

Skip Hire
first winter there he got up one morning and went to the yard on his 50cc bike . Loads up and sets off in a smattering of snow . Arrives at first stop which was a hotel and as he pulled up the owner came out
owner "what you doing here"
Dad "it's Friday swop over day" while mentally desperately checking it really was Friday
owner "yeah but the snow ! "
Dad "its only light shower for Gods sake"
owner "down here mate we close up when its like this"
Flats now...Will send you a photo in a couple of days mate.
The Star is still there and you lot used that as a changing room at one point
Just realised that PNP has got me on ignore and Brb has got PNP on ignore, so he won’t have seen any of that beef earlier
ah **** man, so much of Plumstead and Woolwich has changed since I was there. Glad to hear the Star is still there though. What about the Prince of Wales just up the road ?
My mother in law still lives in the flats up near Rockcliffe manor school, so I’m back that way now and again, but I haven’t had a good nose around the area for probs 25 years now !

Made a mistake...it's the Prince of Wales that is flats (the building still stands as it was a conversion) .
I think the Royal Oak was knocked down to make way for woolwich DLR...but not certain
Woolwich and Plumstead are weird nowadays.
Lots of poverty, lots of average money and a surprising amount of new jags, Mercs, Range Rovers and Bentleys ffs

I remember when the DLR came to Lewisham. It was like going on a really slow rollercoaster
My brother is a tech geek, so trains, aeroplanes, and anything to do with engineering or technology is right up his street. When the DLR first opened he made me and him catch a train from North Greenwich all around the docks and back again. That must have been back in the late 80's. It was boring as **** lol
Houses on the Glyndon Estate (no one with money would have lived within 2 miles of there until 10 yrs ago) go for £350kAll of those folk with the Mercs and Bentleys have probs got saturday jobs that just pay really well bro
Houses on Thamesmead going for £400k plus ... when I was a kid they serious considered building a moat round there to keep us in

The only good thing about the dlr is it takes us outta woolwich

The DLR and the coming Cross Rail (Elizabeth line) are big reasons as to why houses round here are so stupidity expensive.
My other half and me couldn't afford to buy round hear now ... my wage ain't great but is OK but my other half is on very good money yet we could afford a 2 bed flat round here ffs.
Thank **** we bought back in the mid 1990s.

Yeah it's nuts innit.
Thamesmead is such a ****hole. Remember pushing my mate's old Suzuki SJ410 into a lake down there so that he could claim on his insurance
A few years ago, when I was back up that way, I was looking at house prices and some of the flats on the Pepys estate were going for £350k. That place was like ****ing Beirut in the early 80's. I used to do a paper round there as a kid and found a severed finger in the stairwell of one of the flats once.

If they ever drained the lakes on thamesmead they'd never be able to find space to put all the cars and motor bikes they find
When I was 16 or 17 I was going back to a mates after a night in the local pub on tavy bridge (desperate days!!!) and we heard what we thought was an explosion...so being stupid we went to look...turns out it was a washing machine that had been pushed off one of the tower blocks.
Every paving stone in a 20 yard radius was broken and loads of cars had holes in them from washing machine shrapnel.
**** knows how no one was at least maimed
And just like that Pinkie and Brb were friends again, lol
I like to think that he and I are the sort that could have a ding dong and then settle down and share a swift half of stout together
get a room you two
