Damn! A week before pay day. Now, what with this credit crunch and whatnot I'm having to do some severe belt tightening. In fact my belt is now so tight I can barely breath. I want to go this as I haven't been in what used to be the Ivanhoe in 20 years and it looks very nice in there now, although the previous place wasn't bad, just a bit empty. Anyway, we'll see.

Well, I was going just on postcode. Although Copleston Road (I always think Copleston Copleston Copleston pie.. not quite right I know but can't help it) is just over the tracks and that's Peckham. And East Dulwich station is just a hop, skip and a jump away!


However, I'm happy to be corrected.

Giles would never set foot anywhere outside East Dulwich, serious issues with Agoraphobia that boy!!

So it's usually just a matter of lying to him, Estate Agents' blurb being very useful in that respect, I fully plan to get him north of the river on the strength of a Foxton's East Dulwich brochure alone one day

Goodness me, what a lot of threatened self-harm on the Forum today. Stop it you lot.


I don't think anyone was querying why we should go to the Hoopers, were they? It's just that it's a bit pretentious to say you're in ED* when you're in Camberwell or Peckham.


*and before I was aware of the Forum, I must admit I thought ED was just a quite nice inexpensive suburb. Now of course I have been educated and know it's an overpriced Nirvana.


Edited to put the 'a' in educated.....

Hey the Goose has a Hallowe'en night - e'en, even - at Hoopers the previous Friday :)


Not that I'm taking any opportunity to promote our events, at all :)


Siobhan Parr (aka Shivers) and Ain - both brilliant.


And to get back on topic - for once, the Goose at Hoopers doesn't clash with the forum drinks, hurrah!!!!

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
