I'm the same grandad grew up in walworth rd, lived on blackprince rd then left after ww2. and im well aware that I'm part of the problem of rising house prices putting local families in a hard position. esp as I'm now a landlord renting out as moved abroad for work. I hope this doesn't make me a total cunt. I mean I'm a cunt but not a total one.
I have an odd relationship with where I live (Brixton / Oval). Three of my grandparents were born within a mile of where I now live (in the 1930s) but left during / after the war.
If I were a total twat I might claim to be an OG local, but obviously the history of Brixton since Windrush is slightly more relevant.
