Huge Halal butchers in Purley on the left corner opposite The Pear Tree. Another one next to Boots in High street but that might be Asian. There’s a Turkish I think one on Russell Parade.

6 or so empty barbers, 50 delivery scooters, traffic moving at 3 mph, burkas, hijabs, women spitting in the street, yes the East African ones do this, what’s not to make you want to move in?

I travel through changing buses, the barber shops supply other things not just haircuts

Very different to my 'Neck of the woods' on the coast in West Sussex.
Friendly well-mannered, respectful and considerate people, safe, splendid walks,beach and Private Estates with palatial properties.
Some delightful 'Public Houses' and restaurants which I frequent with some regularity !

Yes, but have the ‘travellers’ gone from Ferring yet (after the wooden bollards around the green were mysteriously removed)?

Be very careful if they offer you a plastic bag with grass powder.

Furthermore the SAS were not required to deliver the milk.
I vacated the Croydon area in the latter part of the 90s.

i frequently worked around s.norwood when I was living there (whitworth rd)
there were some cracking larger properties on the hill & also many of the roads off it.
Not a bad place at all.
Last few times I worked that area before I moved in 2015 approx, I had nothing but grief from locals.
couldnt even have a sandwich in my van without chancers offering stolen goods or threats, plus the 'gissajob 'punters annoying you working out the front.
