Jesus wept! Do we really need another inept community run supermarket like the co-op? I went in there yesterday and there was no chicken - anywhere - literally- just reams of bare shelf. Once i went in and there was no toothpaste (bare shelf) I went back every day for a week and there was no toothpaste for 8 days!! I'm as anti-capitalism as the rest of them (I advocate getting rid of cafe Nero) but it's a joke. So, i would prefer small independent retailers making some money and boosting the economy but over other supermarkets I definitely support M&S or Waitrose moving in - preferably taking over from Iceland - their chicken is far too cheap and un-sourced. It's a revolting shop. In the meantime, let's shop at independent 'Mom n Pop stores' - put the money where it's needed.

that's terrible - i can't believe a crime like that in the daytime in an area like this and in the gorgeous park!!

Welcome! You've picked a lovely area to move to - apologies for the unbeliveably rude comment above. There is a great farmers market every sunday morning at Dulwich college and some lovely parks, - make sure you explore Dulwich village, it has a lovely pub with garden bar. im sure that just by walking around, exploring and looking a posts on here you will find out interesting things to do in the area. I hope you're not put off by the disgusting reaction your post received.

have handed it in to East Dulwich Police station

I used to think that walking and talking on a phone at the same time was safer - but how and why?? - so someone miles away knows the precise time you were robbed and can do nothing about it?? It is in fact incredibly stupid to walk alone at night flagrantly displaying an expensive piece of equipment. It shouldn't be of course, but this is a fact - criminals exist. So don't do it. And make sure you can disable our phone.

I lost this scarf out in ED last Friday - it's blue, black and white striped and is very soft, made from New Zealand merino sheep and possum wool. It has great sentimental value to me because it was the Christmas present I got sent to me from home by my mum. If you've found it or seen anyone wearing it I would be really grateful to hear from you. Thanks heaps! Expat Kiwi

Can't speak for the others but I came to ED because i heard the coffee was strong and the sheep were plentiful and easy.

Hi - I'm interested in social indoor netball - are there any of these clubs around?

'On Friday the South Circular collapsed on one side. They opened it up and found little holding the road up on both lanes' I'm agog - a little what? heroic hedgehog?

Dano, I have PM'd you.... x!
