I don't feel I ask for much in life, but it would be *quite* nice if Spurs stopped

That is annoying. I was thinking that transitioning to a more leisurely pace of life could be the perfect excuse I need to learn how to use pubs properly.

Real ale and psychedelics - retirement is gonna be ace :cloud9:

And yes, it is a bit of a foodie mecca. I bet you can find some great pizza there :nod:

£50k's neither here nor there in the scheme of things, though. Just ask your mum.

On Sunday they had a little market in the square and the Salvation Army band was playing and it was all quite magical.

I may go for a weekend there.

There was a hop festival going on the first time we visited.

Every other shop is an independent artisanal cheesemaker or some such.

It's like having the best of London, but with fewer black people :cloud9:

Actually I'm off pizza.

:nod: It's lovely living out in the country. Mind you, my bit of it does have rather too many Tottenham fans.

Of course you are. Because it's meh. :nod:

Talking of retail car parks, I found out the other day that a chap I work with used to be a keen dogger until he saw the light. I really didn't know how to respond when he told me. I mean, what can you say? :-(

Hertford? Full of them. My GLW's family included. Hetford does appear to be a north London overspill.

Around here also seems to be full of them. Although a smattering of Gooners too.

My village was a potential destination on Escape to the Country the other week. A couple moving out of London desperate to live in Suffolk.

They ended up in Thetford.

Thetford, Norfolk.

Ooooh, Thetford is not nice. :-( I remember waiting for a train and going into the pub nearest the station. I'd say I was looked at as though I had two heads, but I suspect that having superfluous body parts would actually have made me fit in rather better.

I have a confession to make with regard to dogging: I don't know what it means.

I understand that there is a sexytime element, and a car park element. Beyond that, I've never ascertained the details.

Basically, random strangers turn up in a car park, flash their lights at one another and either have sex with some rough old sort in the backseat of a mid-range 4x4 or wânk while watching someone else do so.
