Tea shop opened today! Looks beautiful, very comfy armchairs and some sweet and helpful young ladies working in there. A lot of the staff were proper French, so hopefully they'll be able to impart that 'je ne sais quoi' the owners seem to be striving for.


I had a lovely pot of some sort of posh earl grey tea all to my greedy self and am soon to be tucking into my tarte for dessert, which I took away.


Alas, I fear it is soon to be taken over by annoying ED mums, their oversized pushchairs and rowdy kids. Just as well as I am one of those annoying mums.... oooh la lah...

Cafe Nero always burn the coffee which makes for a disgusting drink. I will go in and try it on Saturday. Just think it will probably be full of us forumites but none of us will know who we are. Maybe we should have some secret signal. Like a phrase or a wink?....:))of course if you see a woman in there on saturday winking and talking babble it'll be me! carried off by the police! ha ha

wonder what time you were there davidm - we popped in briefly around 8am en route to another engagement but were very glad we did


The woman who served us was very good and very informative, talking about the soft opening mid-week and they are really keen for people to like the place. There is no "we are who we are take us or leave us" attitude at all


Nice food (snack menu) good drinks list and great selection of teas (and coffee!) -


It's not like a pub where you would feel comfotable just wandering on on your own but I can see myself going there quite a bit


Mark - I sooooo wish I was able to pop in for lunch today. But do report back

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
