That just made me spit out my Caffe Verona!


I've never had an American offer me a coffee and then put the kettle on...........

Bizarre question! Why would anyone need / want another chain coming into the area?

Chains are a watchword for mediocaty. Is there word on the street that there is another mediocre coffee chain coming to blight Lordship Lane?


One caveat...if an estate agent were to close and a coffee chain were to open, there would be few tears shed, I would hazard...Suggesting that everything is relative...

If Verona's your preference you might as well stick the kettle on and have a Maxwell House. Starbucks is the most depressing experience a coffee drinker can have!

Quite. Vietnamese drip coffees all round.

    • Dear all, Bit of a random ask but in such a supportive and accepting community, I thought I'd see if anyone had time to help 🙂 I'm conducting research for my MSc Psychology dissertation, using a brief anonymous survey to explore romantic and polyamorous relationships and how/if attitudes around this interact with factors such a family history and family making. The survey should take no longer than 10-15 mins and has been approved by the University of Roehampton. I'm hoping to circulate the survey widely enough that the data gathered is representational of the diversity in modern society across various aspects that constitutes personal identity. Some of the questions are of a personal nature and others could be considered a bit 'spicy', but just to reiterate, this is an anonymous survey.

    • Sebastian has been missing for nearly 24 hours. This is very unlike him. He’s chipped so identifiable by a vet. Please don’t feed him if you find him - he’s greedy but has kidney disease so has a special diet  
    • hi all just wondered does anyone know if any of the pharmacists in East Dulwich that are offering the hayfever jab?
    • We have booked the lighter area (by the windows) Upstairs at the EDT (East Dulwich Tavern) on Wednesday 16 July from 7pm. Thank you to several people who suggested this space. The upstairs bar won't be open, so please buy a drink downstairs before you come up. If you have mobility issues, or otherwise need help getting up and down stairs, please message me on here BEFORE the night. One of us will arrange to meet you on the ground floor and help you negotiate the stairs. Looking forward to meeting more forum members!
