I'm still full and burping curry which at 8am is a little unpleasant.


Well done to AnnaJ, Hibbs, Sean and Mrs Sean McG, Azul and Tina :)), Georgia and Mr Georgia and David C for braving the elements.

Lovel meal, didny check the loos.


I suggest that the next one is the Mirash. I think that this is the last ED curry house to visit. How about Wednesday 17 September?


Can anybody think of an ED curry house that we havent been too?


If not what next? We could widen our scope to become a dining club and so trot round all of the eateries in ED without fear or favour. We could go off piste and visit the curry houses of neighbouring areas (Forest Hill, Camberwell, etc) or we could stick to ED curry houses and go round again; any other ideas welcome.

Very nice to see you all.


The meal, IMO, was pretty good. It took a while to arrive but was probably worth it. And they were catering for ten.


As to Michael's quandry I would vote for either:


a) East Dulwich dining club; or

b) curry houses of SE London


It seems silly to repeat places. We could merely work from one end of the lane to another with the odd side street thrown in for good measure or go by types of cuisine. I'd be up for travelling around but that might deplete numbers if not everyone was up for that and I'd rather have a good size group than a small vindaloo-hardcore.

      So if we were to give the council the benefit of the doubt there is a chance this might be net beneficial to Peckham rye? There’s a slim chance someone somewhere has crunched the numbers and not done this purely to annoy us?

      In the past such details have always been described as commercially sensitive, which they possibly are. So we've never really known what the deals actually were. And whether they represented value for money for the council, and hence us.

      Apologies if this has been asked before. But has the council posted any black and white facts about what income gala brings in and therefore what it funds in the long term?    appreciate it causes a commotion for a few weeks but if it brings in enough revenue to fund the park being a nice place for the rest of the year it feels worth it.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      This is a fair point Glemham, although I don't think it is as straightforward as it looks. In essence, the Scheme of Estate Managment 'tithe' goes into maintaining the area, and the costs associated with that, such as planning consents and the like, and as you rightly point out, is ostensibly ring fenced.  However, it seems likely to me that the results of the 'tithe' would impact on the level of commercial rents the Dulwich Estate are able to command, and how much they get when they sell off a piece of land - it is after all a prime area. The 'tithe' is in my view ultimately, even if indirectly, a contributor to the Estate's ability to generate a surplus.  Of that surplus, 85% is directed at the private schools, which seems at odds to me with the spirit of simple instruction of the original Edward Alleyn will to 'educate 12 poor scholars' He didn't suggest they should go to Eton on bursaries. I think the Estate need to be doing far more for local state schools, who are all struggling with estraordinarily tight budgets. I also feel on a personal level uneasy in potentially contributing in any way to an institution such as Dulwich College where the question can be asked - are they struggling to manage successive generational waves of toxicity? The evidence that the Guardian has amassed from the Farage period looks pretty damming to me, and I find the more recent allegations deeply unsettling, although clearly they have been subject to less scrutiny.
