I imagine the original poster would have no problem with yummy mummies who ordered everything off the menu then? I've seen students, entrepreneurs, the unemployed and the self-employed all park themselves in caf?s for a day and order nothing but a coffee. Whether or not this is acceptable is the proprietors' problem not yours but stay-at-home mums and dads are a mainstay of the daytime economy and shame on you for thinking that they're all alike. If you branded other sections of the population similarly you'd be quite fairly called a racist.

I'm old enough to remember when there were signs in pub windows that said "No Travellers" and even "No gypsies" before that term became non-pc.


I can't say I imagine seeing a sign "No Yummy Mummies" appearing in pub and cafe windows anytime soon.


Btw, I hate seeing young children in pubs. Always have done and is my own personal belief that it isn't an appropiate place for them. But let not get all nazi on people that use facilities made available to them by the owners/managers of the establishment. Times change.

Yes! Can't tease us with a little intriging detail then hold back the rest. And 'dumpgate' certainly does need revisting.

Dumpgate verdict - GUILTY!


Whether or not he was actually from ED remains a mystery but it was definitely him!


Anyway, that aside, I've lived in Sth Croydon, Balham, Clapham and now here (for the last 4 years) and I feel that ED has by far the best vibe as far as community feel goes. Helped by the forum and the EDT in my opinion. I am always accommodating and nice to my neighbours, and in return they are nice to me!

Thanks for the update phobic3000, I was unaware that you had admin remive the thread, it's such a shame! As I recall it was the stag no?


We could have stuck up for you had we known about the abuse, it would have been worth a lot of hassle to have preserved what in my view was the apogee of this forum...

Well I, for one, like East Dulwich. Not all of it, but a lot of it. And the bits I don't like are mainly a matter of personal preference. I suppose it would be churlish to expect everyone in the area to cater to my own particular whims...


I don't like this forum much sometimes, but I have managed to find decent people in the area who aren't virtual.

This.


And this -

 

Anecdotal only, as any individual conversation must be.


Fourteen years in our cul-de-sac, watching children sprout improbably tall, their parents' temples grey and waists thicken... and years it took for us to feel like "them in number XX, they've been there forever, they're all right, they keep themselves to themselves and never a problem from them, nice enough though when you have a chat".


But we do now. And we'll be sad to leave what imperceptibly has become Home.


It's not the same river that we crossed fourteen years ago, but... that's in the nature of rivers, innit?

    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals. The recent BBC expose confirms this  barbers and vape shops suspected of being fronts for crime gangs - BBC News  
    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
    • Do you know a Spanish lady called Maria who lives in East Dulwich? My partner is helping a woman she met on Crystal Palace Road this afternoon. She seems confused and unsure where to go. She is in her late 60s, with short grey/dark hair, Black puffer jacket blue tracksuit. Apparently her daughter is also called Maria and lives locally. If anyone knows her please call me on 07980308743. Thanks, Chris
