Ive been meaning to get to know some people too, how about a newbies pub quiz team? The great exhibtion has a good one on a tuesday!

its been there a few months, never seems very busy unfortunately

With great difficulty, been trying for over 18 months. Told every time it's full only to visit each week and see several empty spots....

too late, but for future reference the best roast is at the great exhibition.

Hilarious banter on this one! However in all seriousness he is filming in London right now and staying very nearby....

cripes I missed that, i'm at the other end of the road. they have been doing work on the basement for ages and there's been a skip so maybe an accident moving that?

Totally wandering around the corner in next half hr when the other half is back from work....

Can only see about 4 rooftops of bawdale rd from my window, none of them seem to be the one hit. Shard's still there! I'd wander round the corner if not for the sleeping baby who didn't even stir at the noise!

me too louisa, i'm on whately road but they sound close! :S

definately thunder, but the loudest ive ever heard! hearing sirens now, anyone know if it's hit something?

Hi, I had my son 5 months ago, and I'm keen to shift this extra stone (more like 2) but not really a big fan of the gym. I played tennis as a teenager and at uni, but that was a fair few years ago and I'm out of practice and out of shape! Any East Dulwich mothers fancy meeting up and making use of the courts in dulwich park or peckham rye while the sun is out? Thinking its free and babies can snooze in the pram.... Lisa x

James, just following on from my earlier posts, I walked down to north cross earlier today, it was busier than its been in recent weeks, but I did actually count 9 empty spots.

Wow, lots of judgemental comments here aren't there! I have a bugaboo bee because its pretty much the smallest pram there is and so less likely to bother you all when I come into a cafe and won't run over your toes when I get on the bus. And if you find me lingering over a coffee on Lordship Lane annoying the hell out of you, its probably because a) The baby has just gone off to sleep and I need caffeine or b) we could both do with the fresh air. Both of these might bug you all even though my child is asleep and I'm contributing to our local businesses by buying a coffee, but I'm afraid the alternative is to go home and wake the baby by carrying the pram up the stairs, because while I'd love to just sit out in the garden with a cuppa, funnily enough finding a flat in East Dulwich on the ground floor with a garden when you're on statutory maternity is nigh on impossible! So please don't tar us all with the same brush, we're not all there to annoy you, just trying to make the day a little smoother!

James, I would be willing to run a stall on both days. I sent 3 emails requesting application pack which were all ignored and when I eventually called I was told both days were full. I've noticed in recent weeks the market is getting smaller and smaller even on saturdays. I am in the process of purchasing a van, and its a new business with no commitments in other areas yet so would be willing to be there both Friday and Saturday every week, regardless of the weather!

I asked about both! saturdays still seem half empty too to me....

Hi James, I'm sure you've seen a couple of threads discussing North Cross Road Market and 'where has it gone?'. A lot of people seem to have noticed it not as full as it could be, myself included, which is why when I phoned southwark council for an application pack to have a stall I was rather shocked when told it was full, only to wander down there last friday and there was only one stall. I think it should be looked into who has an allocated spot and isn't using it. It's not helping a really nice market to be half empty all the time when other people want to be there. Thanks, Lisa

I've just called Southwark council enquiring about a space on the market only to be told its full..... walked down there friday and there was one stall! Does anybody know what the situation is with stallholders who have a spot? Find it very concerning that people who obviously have a space are not turning out regularly and stopping other people getting a space, not very good for what is a popular market.
