Yes, this is a giveaway

"Tom, a blogger on eastdulwichforum.co.uk, notes that ?the once gym-honed, buff young things of Clapham would appear to be setting into their middle years quite well?. His suggestion that East Dulwich should be touted as the gastro capital of London might be slightly farfetched but the area, previously known only for its fried chicken, has certainly come a long way."


Tom, you're famous

Tom, you're famous; though looking at tit, wondering which of tom's posts contain any of that.

Sheesh, lazy journalism in the flesh.

I sent this to the times as a comment, but it seems to have gone nowhere:


"Ha ha, was this article entirely researched from a desk in Times Towers, seemingly by doing nothing other than reading the east dulwich forum (even the quote from there is completely misattributed).

I take it the Costa Coffee mistake (it's caffe nero) was deliberately snuck in as misdirection to stop people noticing the lazy journalism.

And you could at least link to Dulwichmum's blog if you're going to appropriate her offspring"

whether or not the journo was inspired by dm's posts, or just completely based her entire around dm's posts may be a moot point.


I am still checking for the lines: ''The most popular destination, the ''lounge'' with its dedicated quiet room with a menu of fishfinger sandwiches, champagne and latte and boasts a frequently-clensed swimming pool. The last of the bohemian gentlemen retire to the newly installed soundproof-room where the local band performs covers of neutral milk hotel classics. The main attraction has to be the half-bat, half-dog man who plays the machine gun and sleeps in a handbag."

Hmm. Was hoping to keep a local, low profile. National rags not my scene.

The quote was accurate - but it was a thread that was quite rightly ignored by most of you as it was a blatant attempt to incur the wrath of more established residents.... I was bored.. sorry!

So, lets talk about house prices again. I'm not happy about the plateau in house prices mentioned... I made ?3K a week on MY house last year.. anyone beat that?


Discuss.

      Royal Mail - late deliveries - what is happening?

      By Sue · Posted

      So. Last night Royal Mail customer service kept me waiting a quarter of an hour with no indication of the wait time,  then closed the service down at 6.30pm. This morning I waited half an hour to speak to someone.   First they told me to make a claim via their website, then reluctantly agreed they could do it on the phone. They required both my and my daughter's name, addresses, postcodes and email addresses, plus my phone number. WHY? THEN they told me a CHEQUE for £9.85 would be sent to my address!!!!!! No compensation for everybody's wasted time, just the Special Delivery (hollow laugh) fee back. I did point out a) we weren't in the Stone Age and b) this cheque would probably either never arrive or be stuck for months in the local delivery office beneath mounds of other mail which never gets delivered. I felt very sorry for this guy. I hope he is well paid. What a terrible job to have. So now, assuming I ever get the cheque, I will have to queue up at the Post Office to pay it in. Having already queued up to post an item for a non existent service in the first place. GRRRRR. Can I be bothered to write to the CEO? No, probably not. I'll just get some bland standard letter back sent by some other poor person with a terrible job.

      Thank you for the warning. There have been instances of vulnerable people targeted by scammers in this area, so we do need to be mindful of our neighbours.

      Good places to eat near Rye Lane?

      By scarlettbanks · Posted

      Lots of very good places around Rye Lane. I'd say there are the long-standing great places like Levan, Mr Bao, Oi Spaghetti, Peckham Bazaar and (towards Bellenden Rd) Begging Bowl, Made of Dough, and Artusi.  And then the newer places that we've been enjoying include Janda Diner, Taquiza, Hausu, En Root, Messy Mary (currently at Copeland Social). We are spoilt for choice really! Depends what you're looking for - some of the above are cheap and cheerful, others much more fancy

      Up the reform

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Yep dangerous and worrying and plenty on here seem to either not grasp that or are perfectly ok with it - which is more worrying you think cancerian or any other reform voter will be any happier if reform win? Sure, just like Brexit they will laugh at the lib-tears but as reality hits, nothing but more anger and complaints   And as we see with Brexit and Trump, finding out too late doesn't solve anything
