That's fantastic, the very first shot is of my street, filmed next to the building I live in. I can't quite make out the sign on the building corner - but I'm pretty sure it's the exact same pub that's there now.
It's also odd seeing trams in London.

- rfnslyr 13y agoIt's HN, I just assume everyone pays like 5k~ in rent.
- laurencerowe 13y agoWhile you certainly can pay that in parts of London, you wouldn't there. I'd expect more like £1200 or $2000.
- beachstartup 13y agothese days usd 1-3k/month is what most working professional people pay in rent in a major city.
- ksrm 13y agoAnd here's what that street looks like today: http://goo.gl/maps/Ya7wH http://goo.gl/maps/Ya7wH
- jacko0 13y agoYes it's still a pub, it's called The Pommelers Rest . I doubt it the same name as it was then. Street view here: http://goo.gl/maps/Ptb0v http://goo.gl/maps/Ptb0v
- andyidsinga 13y agothats really cool. i have an old pic of my house here in portland oregon - built in 1924. im the 3rd owner which is kindof cool. every time i fix something i try to imagine the others who touched it before me - and built it to last from 1924. when we renovated the kitchen we actually found scraps of a kids homework in ceiling/floor and some old match books from when the roof was replaced 30ish years ago. we left a couple magazines and a kids toy in the new walls :)
- lkozma 13y agojacko0 and ksrm [EDIT: and icecreampain], you seem to be under some kind of ban - what you write appears gray, and is invisible when I log out - despite them appearing to be perfectly valid contributions. I really hate this whole banning on HN - the fact that people get banned and continue posting without knowing it (sometimes for months) - seems to me like the elementary school bullying technique of putting a post-it on someone's back and letting them walk around with it.
- Udo 13y agoI tried looking into what got them banned, but it's not at all obvious from their history. I wonder what happened here?
- ksrm 13y agoThank you for letting me know, I have no idea why that has happened. Apart from me describing someone's idea of Clojure as the next-gen Lisp as 'cute', which was maybe a bit rude, I don't think I've done anything to deserve being banned. I was never a fan of this hellbanning idea and now it seems I've become a victim of it. What do I do now?
- lifeisstillgood 13y agoinfo@ycombinator.com I think - gets you through to a shared mailbox and someone will reply However your comments seem fine from where I'm standing - possibly someone mistook 0 points for banned/dead? And yes - loving seeing parts of London I know so well.
- lkozma 13y agoI also thought it might have been just 0 points, but his other comment in the thread still appears as [dead] for me. jacko0's comment now appears as normal, although earlier I clearly remember it was [dead]. icecreampain's still appears as [dead]. Anyway, it could be some glitch in the software, but the system is a bit strange anyway.
