(This message will no longer be an announcement i.e. at the top of the listings, after lunchtime today (Monday))


I'm happy to announce a new area of the forum called The Lounge. After listening to what people have to say there's obviously a need for an area where people who use this forum can talk about things that aren't related to East Dulwich. A place to talk about music, meeting up, flirting, the benefits of Omega 3, the situation in Iran etc etc


You may hear me say every now and then "Take it to The Lounge" which is the polite way for me to say you're going off topic please go and take this elsewhere. I may also move or split some threads over to the Lounge as they will be more comfortable there.


I hope it works and thank you for using the Forum

Dear Administrator and Mr Keef,


Hurrah! At last, somewhere for 'the chattering classes' (my husband can be so nasty sometimes) - to chatter! Can I have the big aubergine coloured velvet armchair near the window? Mine is a big milkey latte and a large slice of blueberry cheesecake, .... oh rats, I have to work. Nevermind, I can chat later - that shall me my chair though, OK? I can't wait to hear all of Ms Polly Dorners news.........

How about a Garden Lounge area? Then those of us who like to scrabble around in the soil can have a great forum for flower talk........ (I can hear the collective groan of the under 30's.... or am I being appallingly ageist? )


Hurrah for ED and all our differing interests. Arcade fire and clematis armandii..beautiful combination. And it's sunny outside !!! I'm going off to commune with my crocuses (croci ? no )


skinny latte with almond croissant and a nice herbaceous border please.....

      Dulwich Leisure Centre, seriously - how do you book a swim?!

      By Sue · Posted

      I know a couple whose twelve year old son drowned in an overcrowded swimming pool on a day when no lifeguard was there. This was a long time ago, but maybe just be thankful that these days more safety measures are in place, however inconvenient they may be for some people?

      I imagine they also legally have a limited number of people they can have in the pool at any one time, so if it was just a case of turn up and swim, there would likely be people turned away after they might have cleared part of their day to swim.

      There is now two threads on this. I am really struggling to understand why people have such issues with booking their swim.  Most things in life now require prebooking whether for leisure or not.  Do the same people find booking a table at a resturant or a seat at the cinema just as annoying?  We are very lucky to have 3 local swimming pools.  Since the booking system was introduced I personally find the expeience so much better. If you book you are guaranteed a swim at the time you want in the length you want.  Yes you have to be organised for Dulwich but some of the other pools are never full.

      "Only those obsessed with the idea of efficiency (at the expense of humanity) can applaud a 100% bookable system. It stinks of top-down bureaucracy and goes against how most people want to live their lives. (Specific needs (preferences, really) can still be accommodated with a booking/set aside system but a totalitarian approach just isn’t realistic or human)" WOW - this seems a bit extreme.  Most things in life you need to book. Yes it can be a bit of a pain but thats the way it is.  You could try the other pools in the area- we are very lucky to have 3 + pools in our area
