I moved to HOP last May...EVERY day that there has been no rain my whole street gets out their circular saws and big drills and sanders, (usually for doing pathetically small jobs - more money than sense!).

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

This morning a circular saw started at 8.30am!! Doesn't bother my sleep coz my little boy gets me up well before then, but really, half eight on a weekend morning!?

HOP is a total nightmare, there's about 3 shops/cafes worth visiting, the rest is a mess and so many people think they're living in some kind of paradise.

I used to live in Rotherhithe...it's MUCH better there - by miles!

Rant over. Can't wait to move away!!
