The Septics are moving to Clapham
A lovely part of South London and I am surprised many of us dont live there. Or go there. What with all the shopping opportunities on Streatham High Street of a Saturday morning, and Tooting Bec market within gobbing distance?
Tooting & Mitcham United Football Club commemorative mugs are still for sale. Half price before the Septics discover Morden on Avon was the birthplace of William Shakespeare and the home town of Winston Churchill. And HRH The Queen. And the Purley Kings.

OK, so this one's a bit off the wall, even for you ID, but I'll bite, although I suspect I'll come to regret it.

With you now. If you're looking in the right direction, it's not confusing at all. Originally Posted by muhandis89

Re: The Septics are moving to Clapham
Clapham? Streatham? Tooting? Mitcham?
Isn't it actually Battersea (or Nine Elms), pretentiously also known as South Chelsea?

So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).

Re: The Septics are moving to Clapham
Most of the septics I know,working in the current location,have been told that they'll need to live on the same side of the river ,as the new Embassy at Nine Elms.Apart from the ambassador that is!

Re: The Septics are moving to Clapham
Assuming that you're referring to Berkeley Square, why? What's there apart from a song-filled nightingale? :P Originally Posted by TheIronDuke

Re: The Septics are moving to Clapham
Seems odd that the Yanks would choose to position their embassy in Nine Elms, though. Don't they know that Cabbies don't ply south of the river? And it's not exactly handy for the Tube.
