From Wednesday for Five Days I'll be House Sitting for Gumbo in Milton, does anyone remember how much that Brass was charging Rooney an Hour by the way?
born in Woolwich mothers and babies
lived Cherry Orchard and then Charlton for 24 years, then Eltham for 9 years, moving once whilst there (where I lived when I joined here!), now residing in Welling for the past 2 years.....done with moving houses now I think !
Born in Northwick Park Hospital Harrow, grew up in Sevenoaks, lived in Birmingham for 3 years at unit, Lewisham/Blackheath and now in Islington. (My Mum grew up on the Cherry Orchard Estate and my Nan lived her entire life in Charlton and is buried in Charlton Cemetery, hence the affiliation).

Like SHG, up on the hill.
I live in the very same road mentioned in Keith Peacocks book, in fact the house Mr Peacock lived in as a player and was owned by Charlton is now up for sale.
Herbert Road SE18, which doesn't know if it's Plumstead or Woolwich or "Shooters Hill Slopes" Blackfen, which is just confused Sidcup Hither Green, which is Lewisham but less so (or more so) (and built by a Quaker so depressingly pub-free) Kidbrooke Grove, (Blackheath but kinda Kidbrooke) and Bickley, which the Post Office insists is Bromley.
Cairo (14yrs), Geneva (10), Zurich (2), Soho (2 best years of my life), Wiesbaden (1), Milan (1), Rotterdam (1), Beirut (3), France (39), now living in Paris.

He was born in Charlton, he married Judith Charmers ; )
Headmaster in Swiss school was Welsh, supported Cardiff City and hated me. He kept ranting against all other teams, only Brit to counter him was a Charlton. So I desperately wanted Charlton to do better than Cardiff. We did for 4 consecutive seasons before ending bottom of the then div 1 and being relegated with ......Cardiff City. The rest is history, the Soho years, the 7 first Charlton games attended, all lost, it creates bonds you know!
When this thread started I lived on Delafield Road 3 minutes from the ground, thanks to some advice recieved here a year ago I now live in Sunny Sidcup; not sure I could take the move from Urban Charlton to Suburban Sidcup but to be honest I am thoroughly enjoying not waking up to 'police do not cross' tape across the road!
And the trip to London Bridge is near enough as quick, though the every 30 minutes later in the evening is a bit of a pain, when I time leaving the pub wrong.
Erith, Old Kent Road, Camberwell, Brixton, Dartford, Cambridge and now Canterbury (for 25 years).

Whereabouts in Paris? I spend quite a lot of time there too.
Born in Scotland, moved to Greenwich, The Standard, Woolwich, Kidbrooke Lee Green, Eltham and Charlton. Can't beat the Royal Borough of Greenwich and still get to see the Addicks regularly. FACT.
Born in Lewisham, lived just off the High Street, then Brockley (went to the same Primary School as Graham Tutt - hence the user-name), Lee and have been in Kidbrooke since 1986.

New South Wales? Hampstead? Come on, we demand to know as we don't like guessing!
