36. I parked on a double yellow line, while throwing my butt-end on the ground and you know what? Someone in a uniform had the audacity to issue me - yes me, an upstanding, full-time working, tax paying individual - with a fine.

38. When I am out pedalling through other London boroughs on my new folding Brompton velocipede, I am disgusted at the number of common oiks and non-independent grocery outlets I do chance upon.


Would it REALLY be too much to ask for there to be constructed some kind of underground covered roadway between E.D. and my Farringdon workplace, accessible only to those with an SE22 postcode, so I do not have to see any of these horrors? I sometimes wonder where my taxes are actually going!! I think I speak for the silent majority here!

40. Lack of traditional boozers / hip urban bars you can get a seat in

41. Too many bakeries / cost of a loaf of bread

42. Presence of White Stuff (too Fulham) / anticipated presence of new shoe shop (too Peckham)

43. Price of property too high for me to buy / not high enough to enable me to make a quick buck and escape to the country

44. Importance of community / as long as they're like me...

Aircraft noise in the garden, ED constantly polluted.

Heavy bendy busses, shaking and rattling right through the house to the back door.

It has broken through the road surface again and the Southwark council have not done anything about it inspite of numerous calls to their report centre talking to someone who takes it down with their 'slow pencil' and some one else was using the brain cell they all share.

Just the two moans for now..............

'No', it's three, including Southwark council.

Should be my turn for the braincell next;-)

Yeah. Fancy someone enjoying themselves. On a Friday too.


Imagine how this could affect the house prices around here.


why don't you move to Hampshire if you'd rather have the soft coo of a woodpigeon and the occasional rustle of leaves? Oh, sorry, I'd forgotten your sort, you move into an area for the amenities and vibrancy and then immediately start complaining about them.

47. That every East Dulwich forum thread eventually escalates into a catastrophe where one or more particpants flounces off midst a storm of class war, misunderstandings and frustration...only to eventually sneak back in through the back door, usually known as the innocuous What are you listening to? thread.

It was great. Marred somewhat by a bloke staring at us over the wall and trying to attract our attention by waving his arms angrily and shouting something.


I had to go inside and turn the music up a bit so he didn't ruin the tune, and by that time realised there were about 4 boxes of fireworks to get through.

Oh I don't know. The fireworks at eleven/twelve pm last night were great, must have cost a fortune and much appreciated. The repeat performance at half past three this morning was, shall we say, less neighbourly...

Thank you all, most sincerely - a deeply pleasing response here. As you can all see, there are a number of problems that affect East Dulwich residents on a day-to-day basis that I had not highlighted. I'll make it an OFFICIAL top 12 so as to reflect the worries and concerns that have become apparent by the replies on this thread.


11. A friendly dog approached my untethered, unmuzzled child in the park, and nearly took her eye out with its wagging tail.

12. Someone enjoyed themselves at volume after 11 o'clock near my house.


Well done, East Dulwichites. If we can continue to bring these serious problems to a head, we can move forward together, as one happy, environmentally aware army (non-military, of course!)

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
