Love it. Anything but ordinary writing.
I wonder if someone claiming to be from Ordinary Street will pop up in the comments later.

Compared with past tournaments the lack of England flags this time around has been noticeable, I saw my first car window mounted one on Friday.
The lack of flags has been matched by the lack of match reaction, in my area each goal was met with societal silence, a check in the back garden was met with discreet murmuring and the sounds of wine consumption.

Delicious, from first to last! The big house is a former vicarage, I imagine.

Splendid piece that was anything but ordinary.
I am also surprised at the lack of England flags around, though they suddenly seem to have started multiplying over the last few days when I believe we beat some other team.

Three foot dandelions?

No ordinary street, but the things you noticed are fairly common. I thought that the scarcity of flags may have just been in my locale, but from the comments it seems not. Anticipating a visit to the Kirby Estate to follow, for contrast.

I wonder if anyone has worked out where this is.
I'd love to see the YouTube!

On the offchance that no 17 has one of those two-layer perspex and aluminium things (and, tbh, even if it doesn't) I have often wondered where people get them from. And why.

The reason of the unlikeliness of having someone from Ordinary Street appearing is because readers are more or less evenly distributed across the city. If DG had significant local prominence then the time to wait before someone from Ordinary Street popping up would be rather shorter.

Wish my hydrangeas looked that good. Is Ordinary St in the back streets of Plaistow?

Fascinating stuff. That prompted a search on Google Maps for any Ordinary Streets. Nothing, except perhaps in Virginia in the US, where the State has five 'Ordinary' listings: a Lane, Road, Loop, Way and Court, all relating to the town of Ordinary - which just possibly isn't!

An ordinary street, a boring street in suburbia, where nothing ever happens; as my 10 year old self used to think.
Now 60 odd years later these are just the things that make a street wonderful to live in.

The third picture gives us a clue as to the location. The satellite dishes are pointing SE and seem to be at ninety degrees to the television aerials so Crystal Palace must lie directly to the SW (or NE).
Running with scrumpy’s suggestion of Plaistow and looking at OpenStreetMap, which indicates one-way streets with an arrow, I found the suitably short Alliance Road. Google Earth Street View confirms this as the location. The view is dated April 2019 when the hydrangeas were yet to bloom.
