I've been walking up and down Lordship Lane today looking for a suitable property - I couldn't see anything - but what about North Cross Road? Would anyone go there for an origami shop?

I got a bespoke jeweler in Clerkenwell to make a plain platinum ring with a single sapphire for my wife's engagement ring - it still looks good 15 years down the line.

Simpy Food is like one of those motorway M&S outlets.

Thanks for that advice - I'll try and get the train there and have a good drink-up at the match.

Since I've moved back to E Dulwich I've decided that I want to do everything locally, including working. So I'm planning to give up my job in the City and open an origami paper shop on Lordship Lane. I think I will call it 'Dulwich Origami'. I'm quite good at folding a wrap for storing small items when I'm out and about so I can guess it can't be too hard to learn some other folds/shapes and then run some origami classes from the shop. I just wondering what the level of local interest might be in origami?

I've got tickets to see Italy trounce Canada on 26th Sept. at Elland Road. What's the best way to get to Leeds? Train or car?

I think it is just up Lordship Lane up past the old Iceland on the same side of the road - though I've never been - I just go to Peckham cinema as it's so cheap.

Oh, ok, M&S Local - that's disappointing - so that's bascially a load of ready meals and some sandwiches and packaged sliced fruit. Oh well at least it's got more cachet than Iceland so it should help boost the profile of the area.

Will the old Iceland site be M&S or Waitrose? I'd love it to be Waitrose because at the moment I'm travelling 2-3 times per week to go shopping in Waitrose in Beckenham as I really like the Waitrose shopping experience and the free coffees you get with their loyalty card. So it would save me a lot of travelling and cut my petrol costs down if there was a Waitrose around here.

I've just moved into the area (double-fronted 5-bedder on Melbourne Grove) and joined the forum. I do like a good drink with convivial company on a Friday night - can anyone recommend a good local boozer that I can go to regularly?

I sold my 4-bed house for 530 - I just wanted to get out ... fast (and it worked)

This is all terrible news - I went for a swim last week and the water wasn't at quite the temperature I was anticipating it would be.

Isn't it Mr Liu...?
