I do my bit. I moved here from Warrington and my neighbour is from Surrey.:clap: Old woman over the road has been here since the 50s. The odd thing about this thread is I don't live in Tooting....

Don't forget Screwfix.

Screwfix. Don't buy their own brand "Henry" clone. I bought it on the basis it was cheaper and had a blow function as well as suck. When I got it home I realised I had no need for the blow function beyond possible making a bingo machine. It stopped working within a year.

I'd like to think it was a service to the community. Oddly the place was packed with Estate Agents that night. The bag had a couple of bottles of wine and toilet roll. Someone drunk probably thought f### going to the shops I can have a drink when I get in and a s### in the morning. .. which...

I had my shopping nicked in there. Luckily it was just Sainsburys as I usually shop in Waitrose.

Having lived in the area for years I must learn to stop too. Odd one for me. Son of a sussex mechanic who moved to London 20 years ago, nephew of a sussex born BT engineer who moved here here in the 50s to Camden but sadly none of us accepted. Luckily my gran was born in London (Greenwich) so...

Thank you.

I'm sorry I'll have to take that away and consult my diversity councilor (thriving profession, rents in Tooting apparently) and consider how I have been racist for pointing out Sir Cliff was born in India. My bad.

The only thriving profession.... Jesus I've leaving the country, sorry county, sorry city... Now I'm confused.

You are confusing countries with cities. Do you consider Cliff Richard to be Indian ? Boris Johnson was born in New York ☺

Ha ha. So you only allowed to live where you were born ? Ridiculous. I never lived in Hastings. It was the nearest hospital - miles from my village. I moved to London in my 20s. Should I pack my bags and move back to St. Leonard's ? My dad bless him was born in Hawkhurst (Kent) but supported...

I'm a Londoner. Is your argument against Europe or the Asian population in Tooting ? Because your argument is confused. Is Tooting struggling from immigration from Europe because that's a new one on me. It's a ******* to get a doctor's appointment round here but it has been for years

Toolstation ?

Toolstation man ? Fair enough. Your problem is that it is was a white working class place that saw huge immigration because it was a cheap rough bit of London. Like most places in London it's quickly becoming an expensive place for white middle class place to live priced out by Clapham and...

I've lived here 20 years. Sorry I didn't witness the blitz or pay the Richardsons once a month not to burn down my pawn shop. They was rickets on my street mate, all gone it is, all gone.

Cast iron bullshit. Anyone who thinks Tooting is a shithole must have brought up in Belgravia. As if there was this "golden age" before the immigrants moved in. I'm there all the time live without walking distance. Not down there buying Organic curried guava, there is a handy screwfix and a...
