civilservant Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 erm, I can't believe I'm the first to post about this entry in today's Guardian diary http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011/aug/15/esther-addley-diary-david-cameron. ED and the EDF have achieved undying fame nationwide. Let's all fiddle to celebrate the imminent arrival of Waitrose on LL while the rest of London burns. ? No community is rejoicing more in the return to relative peace following the riots than the residents of East Dulwich in south-east London. Like frightened citizens across the nation, they took to the internet at the height of the disturbances to exchange potentially lifesaving information. On the East Dulwich Forum website, one can still follow the frantic messages of last Tuesday evening. From user thebestnameshavegone at 6.18pm: "I'm expecting Ocado literally any minute ? does anyone know if they've been able to get through Rye Lane." Just over an hour later, Alex K posted. "This sort of thing just pushes further and further into the future any decision by Waitrose to open on Lordship Lane." Thank God it's over!

If so, that would also be rather ironic.Or perhaps there wasn't any. In which case, that would probably make my post ironic.Is there such a thing as meta-irony?

katie1997 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 No, we're all 'locavores' here in ED. The Waitrose/Ocado thing is oh so ironic.Edited: to add ironic font and smiley face, lest anyone take me seriously. (I do think the Waitrose thing is mostly a running joke around these parts though) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19067-edf-in-todays-guardian/#findComment-466569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipD Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Did it make into print or just the website? Very funny either way :D I think, due to the amount of "truth" (or perceived truth), in the posts they are more sacastic than ironic.

Frankito Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I am a locavore alright but I still hanker after a bit of Waitrose! We all use supermarkets so, rather than another crummy Tesco metro, why not a mini Waitrose. We wouldn't be worse off for it and I promise to buy the whole hog roast at NCR market every Sat for a month!!Surely another epetition????
