I am guessing Dulwich - but, for me, it depends on age range. Friends of mine (30's) live in Dulwich but spend most time in ED. Their neighbours (60+) never leave Dulwich. I have lived in Acton and now live in ED so I can always sit back and think I nearly made it ;-)

Funny how Bellenden Road Desparately wants to be part of East Dulwich..


...But is happy to be part of Peckham as soon as Peckham gets any Good Press.

What is the evidence for this? Does the road have its own consciousness? And do you not know how to spell 'desperately'?

swissjoel, why do you live in ED if you don't like it? And if you don't like ED, why are you on the forum?


Oh, and I realise your comment about white people may well have been deliberately provocative, but either way, it's still a fucking stupid thing to say.

How do you become a middle class wannabe? I drive a Toyota, bang on about house prices and insist on the occasional Ocado delivery to liven up my dull life of working in the City and dealing with young kids.... Am I middle class or just a middle class wannabe? And how could I tell one way or the other?


And you are probably right... ED is probably boring for those who aren't middle class and / or don't have a pram... Although I'd heard that there is a right good laugh to be had at Bar Boho after 11pm (can't validate that though as am usually in bed)

It always amazes me that people that would never, ever say "there's too many black people around here" can happily type this rubbish.

I think you just proved his point. The way you describe your life, it does seem rather dull

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
