[> [> has anyone ever been to Hither Green -- andrew, 04:36:46 11/12/04 Fri (hide-138.nhs.uk/195.10.45.138)


sounds very full of promise from name alone. its near lewisham. its just boz-eyed me from a transport brochure.
i imagine the ninteen thirties reek gentle at its platform. one minute carriages a-clock with surly laptopists and floozy tourists and the next you know as entering Hither Green, the laptopists are resplendant in bowler hants and the tourists are waiting for the outcome of The Treaty of Versailles. the doors will be opened by a kindly fat controller who doth carry the bags for the lady whats caught the eye and the mind and the ache. in fact the conductor is a six foot Dormouse/human hybrid children's illustrated specimen. he is obviously smoking a pipe, has a canal named after his father and children with appropriate manners. i shall imagine conkers are protected species in this place, and the cubs scouts do not talk about the benefits of smoking grass and jordan's ass but stare at a globe with awe and prospect. Hither Green, pretty, shy, wuthering HIther Green; in fucking Lewisham. may as well stay in bed all day tommorow.

dear phillip.don't the arsenal children's second string smugglers have to play dour spurs tommorow anyway?

hither green is not part of enid blytons fantastic adventures, but is somewhere near catford, and i have ventured there during paid employment in 2002, though what for, i can't remember. the station is indeed leafy, and you will not be accosted by jobsworth ticket inspectors upon arrival (always my preference). ahh, now i remember, i had to get a detailed map of the electoral ward of new cross gate from there, the town hall beckons you in to one of those pedestrianised town centres with faded brick red pathways and lame looking lamps...or was it forest green? gladly, my memory refuses me confirmation on one of the most boring times of my life, before special needs were 'special' i suppose....
yeah, i think quincy whatshisname takes on the midfield dynamo reject carrick tomorrow, maybe daniel will buy another sixteen pound round in the pub if we don't ask nicely,,, then we can piss off to well-in garden city for skps birthday or something

i've passed through it many times on the train.

sorry to disillusion you but i think it's a commuter town.

i recommend a cycle ride in the cotwolds to refresh the spirit and tire the legs.

maybe that's why you don't have a girlfriend.

How strange. I live in Hither Green. As I sit here typing I am no further than a ten minute walk from the station itself. I'm afraid it's not as lovely as the name suggests. Quite a lonely little station actually. But it has some potted plants the station master waters daily, as if his life depends on it, two toothless tramps that I give cigarettes to, and a nice man who sells me flowers. Actually, now that you've got me thinking, I actually quite like it. Not so nice at night though... You begin to remember you are on the borders of Lewisham and everything turns a bit more sinister with drunken old men, and people asking if they can "borrow" your phone.

Then come out of the station and you are confronted with a desolate place that seems to have no purpose apart from just to fill the space between Blackheath, Lewisham, and Lee... Just long streets leading to other places, and nothing else in particular apart from an ugly pub, a kebab shop, a very pretty, old little coffee/flower shop (who put actual melted chocolate in their hot chocolates), a scary looking hairdressers, and a tiny video shop.

And that's Hither Green for you...

I'm very tired, and not of a completely stable mind.

So I thought that said Hitler Green, for bloody ages.

I get it now.

And it seems like a lovely place Alice, both during the day and in Andrews little vision.

But I don't like Silverlink trains as a method of transport...bloody extortionate unreliable fuckers.

I spent a bit of time looking for Hitler Green on the A-Z.

It's not there.
