I hate all the mothers and mothers-to-be that have inflitrated East Dulwich in recent years

I try to be as tolerant as possible, but some of those buggies are becoming the equivalent of a chelsea tractor. And some of the kids look suspiciously old to be wheeled around.


And don't get me started about the creche/pub Sunday afternoons at the Herne Tavern. What with the customers bringing half a truck load of Sunday supplements, their ever so lovely children, buggies*, I have felt rather besieged, as well as having a sore throat from having to scream at my friends to be heard.


I need a sit down. I am really a tolerant person, I am, I think.

Oh Gosh, wheel out this argument again. I suppose all people with children should be herded into reservations and made to stay there until the kids reach puberty.

No chance of them trying to lead an enjoyable life in case it encroaches on childless folk.

You're right, of course, I am one of those 'childless folks'. It does feel so very different from this side.


What happened to me, I used to quite like kids. Perhaps, I'm heading to middle age, a life of endlessly complaining about any niggling thing. Oh well.

Whilst I respect people's right to choose not to have kids I do think they are making a mistake that they will spend the rest of their lives trying to justify to themselves and others. This often manifests itself in anti-child/parent rants of the nature we often read here on the forum.


It's a bit like emigrating. I don't mind people who emigrate but I wish they wouldn't constantly tell everyone that they did the right thing and try and make out that Australia is great when really they long for their local and a laugh with the lads. Nobody is fooled.

There seem to be two types of buggy-haters:


Type 1 as described by Alan


Type 2: Young(ish) people who haven't got round to settling down and having kids yet.


You just know that in a few years time all the Type 2s will have kids of their own and will be out there comparing buggy size and asserting their right to take young Trixy and Maximilan to the gastro pub with them.

This is a puzzle. Used to be that if a child was not walking and in reins by just over a year old it would be taken to the doctor to see if it was retarded.

I'd say the opposite. *Bob* Junior has many such 'Uncles' and I'd have to say that, on the whole, they are more interested than our straight male pals without children.

pray tell who will be paying for your healthcare and minimal pension when old and without kids?...oh yes, those kids you spit on whilst insisting on going to a pub with a climbing frame (oh i forgot it was put there for the adult drinkers, of course, or squirrels) jeez.


i hate weekends as all the pubs are full of people that are usually safely somewhere else during the week leaving the rest of us to enjoy the delights of this great neighbourhood in peace. including the great unwashed, unemployed, old folk and and lord forbid, some mothers too.

F**k off! ;-)


I do think people should be able to say they're not a big fan of kids being all over the place. Personally I don't mind as long as I'm not too hungover.... Pizza Express + Sunday + Hangover + Mrs Keef's nephew = HELL ON EARTH!!!!!!!!

ED has lots of houses just the right size for young families, and has a nice feel about it - hence lots of kids. ED has lots of businesses who want to tap into the local market - hence some kid friendly places/policies. It also has plenty of places where there aren't any kids. The streets are open to everybody. The fact that someone does or doesn't have kids is irrelevant to whether they are a t*sser.


So what's the problem?

Where's Dulwich Mum? I can almost here the angry steam coming out of her ears...!


I say welcome to all the mothers. I've got one, and even I was a child once, you know. Willing to bet that strictteacher was too.

Perhaps not. Perhaps she was born 55 years old. Like Sid James.

I'm trying to think of an adequate description, but it's hard to trump Alan's 'withered old cat collector'.

Seems v sad that she hates ALL mothers who've 'infiltrated' ED recently. To be non-hated I guess mothers round here should have been born right on Lordship Lane. Some mothers in ED have irritated me massively, but then so have some teenagers, some commuters, some shopkeepers, some streetcleaners, a GP did once too. Bus drivers. Estate agents. People annoy people, and if they're mothers is not the issue methinks.

      Dog Faeces in East Dulwich!! 

      By i*Rate · Posted

      I went to France recently and in the city I visited there were large billboards on the main streets urging people to stop their dogs from messing on the streets and in a little park a sign said something to the effect that this park was built for your enjoyment not as a dumping ground for dog mess. There were also big signs about not fly tipping. I wonder if councils are too worried about offending dog owners by making a fuss about this major problem. I was a dog owner for many years, got free bags from the council and there were even bins around then.

      I was also woken by this. It happened in two bursts, which felt even more anti social.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By ED_moots · Posted

      Surprised at how many people take the 'oooh it's great it got approved, something is better than nothing' view. This is exactly Southwark council's approach, pandering to greedy developers for the absolute bare minimum of social and affordable housing. It's exactly why, under their leadership, only a fraction of social and affordable housing has been built in the borough - weirdly Mccash chose to highlight their own failures in his 'near unprecedented' (yet unbiased 😆) submission. All the objectors i have met support redevelopment, to benefit those in need of homes and the community - not change it forever. The council could and should be bolder, demand twice the social and affordable housing in these schemes, and not concede to 8 storeys of unneeded student bedsits. If it is a question of viability, publically disclose the business plan to prove how impossible it might be to turn a profit. Once the thing is built these sites can never be used for social or affordable housing. The council blows every opportunity, every time. Its pathetic. Developers admitted the scale was, in this instance, not required for viability. The student movements data seemed completely made up. The claim that 'students are taking up private rentals' was backed up with no data. There is empty student housing on denmark hill, needs to be fixed up but it's there already built. The council allows developers years to build cosy relationships with planners such that the final decision is a formality - substantiated objections are dismissed with wooly words and BS. Key meetings and consultations are scheduled deliberately to garner minimal engagement or objection. Local councillors, who we fund, ignore their constituents concerns. Those councillors that dare waiver in the predetermination are slapped down. Not very democratic. They've removed management and accountability by having no nomination agreement with any of the 'many london universities needing accommodation' - these direct lets MAKE MORE MONEY. A privately run firm will supposedly ensure everyone that those living there is actually a student and adheres to any conduct guidelines. There's no separation to residents - especially to ones on their own development. Could go on... We'll see how many of the 53 social/affordable units that we're all so happy to have approved actually get built.
