I read somewhere Lewisham had a record number of Big Lunches this year.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439386754907203808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104794996052313718.post-705346452739439182010-07-23T08:17:37.787+01:002010-07-23T08:17:37.787+01:00I don't think SE London blogging is under-repr...I don't think SE London blogging is under-represented - if anything the opposite - but I do think SE London has historically been under-represented in pre-internet media. Lots of books which purport to be about London for instance barely cross the river apart from the occasional reference to Greenwich and Southwark..https://www.blogger.com/profile/17026835814805695527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104794996052313718.post-79993050888533154162010-07-22T15:54:10.814+01:002010-07-22T15:54:10.814+01:00Hmm, identities and categories; bloggers creating ...Hmm, identities and categories; bloggers creating their reality and then writing about it - one could go on for a long,long time...I shall follow the debate on your site.<br /><br />On SE london blogging - is it any less represented than NW or NE London? I'm not so sure. I prefer the theory that we're just young, cool and with-it...(ahem, though that last word kinda gives me away)Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782834377756702234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104794996052313718.post-56520637772268965412010-07-21T23:39:59.363+01:002010-07-21T23:39:59.363+01:00... because there's f.all else to do?

Seriously one aspect is that SE London is historically very under-represented in London media (e.g. how many SE London stories do you see in the Standard), so as soon as a mean came along to cheaply/freely redress the balance - i.e. blogs - we all rushed into the breach. Or something..https://www.blogger.com/profile/17026835814805695527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104794996052313718.post-38602493012967814672010-07-21T13:29:11.785+01:002010-07-21T13:29:11.785+01:00Thanks for this Raven.
