Ah - what great idea for a thread!


For me and my kids today its the lovely lady who runs 'Kids Club' at the Brixton Picturehouse on a Saturday morning (I know, I know, not quite in ED). She is always cheery, has only kind and uplifting comments to make, is full of enthusiasm and joy and makes our trip there!

The service at Plough DIY. Service with a smile no matter how small the purchase, genuinely nice staff.


The newsagent/post office on Forest Hill Road. I use it often, and love that I can chat to the post office staff about their families, they ask after mine, and the guys that run the shop are great. Makes me feel part of the community every time I go in.

Oddono's - We recently had ice creams at Marine Ices at Chalk Farm, and it made me realise how lucky we are to have Oddono's in ED - much much nicer ice cream, quite a bit cheaper if memory serves, and much better service :)


And totally agree with Treeview re ToastEd's salted chocolate tart, if that was the one with the raspberries too - probably the most yummy thing I've eaten this year so far :)


Oh, and let's not forget to say Positive and Nice things about Foxy for starting this thread :))

Rekindling my support of Dulwich Hamlet FC this season after more than 40 years has been very enjoyable and great fun. Can't wait for next season.


My local butcher Kim Libretto on Wood Vale. A top bloke with the best cuts of meat and sound advice on how to cook it. Always a pleasure to visit his shop.


The staff at the Great Exhibition. I miss the old CPT greatly but the staff at The Expo (as I call it) has made the transition easy. The sun's out - time for a few afternoon drinks in the fresh air.


The Castle - proper old school boozer with the finest Guinness in Dulwich and the best place to watch sport locally.


Easycome at the White Horse in Peckham on Wednesday nights. Top night out.


The Gowlett - great pub with blooming lovely pizza and the fact they sell one of my favourite ales. Timothy Taylor's Landlord.


Not getting washed or dressed until late Monday afternoon. Time for that drink now I think.

The contractors at the house just up the hill from Jenny Eclair's, who have removed the grafitti on their hoardings (and to the man on the corner of Friern/Goodrich Roads who paints over the nasty tagging his walls seem to attract).


Wish I could say the same for all those folk with overhanging tree branches and bushes.....

The very glitzy/OTT furniture shop at junction of Highshore and Rye Lane . I went in to ask if they had an old chair for an elderly man who was feeling unwell outside .


They said " sure ,which one would you like ? " and they weren't being sarcastic ! Just instantly helpful .


Though how they make a living I@m not sure . I never see anyone in there buying anything .

      Fake barbers

      By Cancerian · Posted

      I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills.

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Soylent Green · Posted

      GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).

      How can one have the confidence that it is not the barista cutting your hair and the barber making your coffee?

      Japan for holiday - how expensive is it now?

      By Jamesh31 · Posted

      We went as a family of four in October. Flights were OK (Cathy Pacific, in their January sale) and accommodation was relatively expensive in Tokyo (definitely not £30 a night) but food/drink/transport/shopping were way cheaper. Easy to feed four of us in an izakaya for £40 including drinks. Shops like muji & Uniqlo half the price they are here. We ended up needing to buy an extra suitcase. Was an incredible trip
