I think if Julie came on and made a public apology for the work being so delayed...that would go some way to meeting us half way. I cant remember the exact timescales...but this work has been delayed from May to July to August to end Of September. I really do hope that Dulwich Leisure Centre stick to their word and open the pool on 25/26th September This seems such a shame that the lovely hot summer will be over by the time the pool opens.

or what about a Pizza restaurent like a Strada ? I think thats the one sort of restaurent that we are badly in need of now on Lordship Lane.

I wonder what will open up in its place? Maybe a large version of Adventure Bar

Thats a real shame. They were very friendly and helpful in there.... shame on those folk who downloaded (illegally and from LoveFilm)

Franster told me that there is a closing down sign in the Video Store on Lordship Lane. Is it closing for good?

Do you think the letter might have been meant for Burrow Road?

how do you know Mr Martin Palmer is on East Dulwich Forum? BTW apologies I should have warned you that I was a bit of a Sweaty Betty yesterday!!

And contrary to what Candp was saying...i dont think you were making a political point. You were as always being prompt and helpful to all our questions on this issue.

Hi James Thanks for doing that. Let us know what the Head Officer says. The mystery deepens!!! :)

Hey Ladymuck We saw you walking not running up our road yesterday...that was a first!!

Hi James Thats brilliant news!! Thanks very much for coming back to me on this!

Hi James I know that there is a seperate thread on this,...but it seems to have gone off the radar. But is there any more news of the refurbishment of Dulwich Baths? Are we looking at August or September for completion?

Yes its terrible mind you I saw a Saab 95 , S reg selling for 1295 That sounds like a real good bargain!!

Im meeting my best mate for drinks up in Central London. So you'll see me around midnight...wobbling along back up our road !!! But we should hook up soon eh....with me and my girls!! Count me in for the next 'unofficial drinks'... Maybe you could ask administrator to make your drinks thread a sticky!!

I cant believe Frank Sidebottom has died RIP :( Frank Sidebottom is Dead

Federer has taken the 4th set...and is a break up in the 5th! Yes I watched it on the large screen in my lunch hour...then had to depart to the canteen for many ciggie breaks to watch it!!

He saw me in my car and said to his mate 'Oi theres Weegee from East Dulwich Forum' Ooh to be famous!!!

Well we are back from our family Summer Holiday and all set for the Summer in East Dulwich. But I really miss EDF Drinks....can we bring them back early please! Would be nice to meet up with you all!!

September!!! Oh really thats not on!! I was looking forward to taking my girls swimming there. I would propose that to compensate us for the much delayed opening ..that Dulwich Leisure Centre offers some sort of incentvie, ie like specially reduced entry for the first couple of months opening.
