The reason this thread has turned into name calling and ranting is because of Tiger Ranks comment - "who would think that of the new dulwich what will all the POSH TOFFS THINK".


What s/he has written is true and obviously the 'posh toffs' have taken offence. I have lived in East Dulwich for 32 years and believe me it's certainly the people that make it a pompus place to live. I recently found out that Lordship Lane is now known as 'The Lane' and if you live on Melbourne Grove you are known as referrred to as a 'Melbourne Grover' WTF.


No matter where you live there are criminal offences taking place East Duwlich, Peckham, Kensignton & Chelsea everywhere!!! I for one cannot wait to move out of East Dulwich - it has changed for the worse.

Clio731 - what a load of old bollox.

If people have their own ways of labelling things like streets or folks who live on streets it really is no big deal - it certainly doesn't mean you or anyone else is under pressure to subscribe to the same terminology !

I've heard the 'Grover' expression with other streets (groves) and it's more a play on 'Groover' than anything else, not something specific to East Dulwich.

We'd all love Dave The Butcher back (he'd fit in a treat I reckon) but those days are gone.

Sounds like you've got a right chip on your shoulder about the change in demographic (but perhaps not about increase in your property value, no - hold on, you sound poor, so it won't apply to you).

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
