Of course it's a righter than centre middle class paper its made for London commuters who in the main tend to be Tory middle class commuters
It's a rubbish rag and would agree the property part is a joke but it's free so you take your choice1 -
Remember this is the paper whose response to CPs England call up was "Chris Who?"

Have to say i noticed this budget article as well and was dumfounded. Absolute joke if that is a broad spectrum of society!0

Thank you isls. That was my point.
Not your average Londoner. Infuriating.0 -
Why can't there be a paper that's not biased in any way but just reports what happens when it happens, is it really that hard!?0

@Curb It
I was in London this week and saw that same article, I thought it was some kind of spoof at first but soon realized it was not.
The ES seems targeted solely at Tarquin and Jemima rather than the real world.0 -

Not any more - they sold a controlling stake in it to Alexander Lebedev, but they retain something like a 25% stake and the paper is still published from their offices and printed on their presses at Harmswoth Quay.
Speaking of their property section and their lack of a grip on reality an ex-uni friend of mine and his wife were interviewed about the problems they had finding somewhere suitable to live in south-west London. Both were doctors with a combined net income at the time of well into six figures. The poor loves couldn't find the right house in the £500k bracket in Wimbledon.0 -
Apparently Eltham is in South West London now....

The correct local pronunciation is 'Grinidge', which is how most of us there said it in the 60s & 70s. 'Grenidge gradually crept in as the area gentrified8

Yes, you're right, being bought up on the Cherry Orchard Estate in the 1950s does elevate one's position in Society! Mind you we weren't as posh as our neighbours who had the Corona man deliver. I do say scon as opposed to scown, not sure what the correct SE7 pronunciation is on that tasty food stuff?Dippenhall said:

Scone pronounced 'scon' rhyming with 'gone' is the correct way of saying it. Not sure what the typical SE7 pronounciation would be - probably 'cake'.cherryorchard said:

Spot on.redlanered said:The correct local pronunciation is 'Grinidge', which is how most of us there said it in the 60s & 70s. 'Grenidge gradually crept in as the area gentrified
'Grinidge' (and 'Woolidge') is how it was always pronounced by the locals when I lived there and nearby.
All the elderly folks who'd lived there all their lives, always pronounced it 'Grinidge'.
It was always pronounced 'Grinidge' by train announcers, until the then new recorded train announcements were introduced at Charing Cross station in the early 70s.
As RedLaneRed says, the 'Grenitch' thing only came about as outsiders with money moved in, on the gentrification bandwagon.
It's a relatively recent thing, aping Greenwich (Grenitch) Village in New York.
