Having now been back in ED for just over a year and seen the huge changes that have occurred, I was wondering what do East Dulwichites now do to move themselves up into the true classification of middle class?


Do people still follow the old tried and tested methods of:


Join the PTA and then move up to School Governor


Join a local Police Consultation Board and then move up to Magistrate


Join the Committee of a Local Community Centre and then move up to local Councillor


Join the Rotary Club and then move up to the Freemasons


Join the local Mum's Club and then move up to the W.I.


Join the local Pub Darts team and then move up to the local Golf Club



or do East Dulwichites not bother these days and just unilaterally declare themselves Middle Class by virtue of their postcode?

Reminds me of a guy I went out with a few times who kept referring to me as a nice, middle-class girl his mother would approve of. I couldn't find the heart to tell him that he would do better to check whether being middle class was something I also aspired to, so I'm afraid he had to go.

Not quite solitary confinement, Seabag, just the back of beyond due to a work posting. Mind you, solitary might have been preferable looking back over the years......!!!!!

      Recommendation for Silver Fern Landscapes

      By masc212 · Posted

      I just want to add another recommendation for Jan and Silver Fern Landscapes.  He and his team recently replaced one of our fences that was falling apart and did a great job.  Communication was really good and Jan was really helpful with advice on options - he was also really accommodating as I wanted to paint the fence panels before they were installed so he arranged delivery early so I had time to do that.  The work was completed quickly and the new fence looks fantastic. https://www.silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html

      All good to hear. Cheers BNG If I’m honest, those fliers give off very bland corporate energy   also. Shouldn’t it be a relaunch party instead of a launch party?    hopefully I’m wrong and it’s great

      The good news is that the Blythe's new leaseholder is Austin Whelan, who runs a chain of very decent Irish pubs, mainly in south London. By all accounts, he has no intention of making any major changes. It reopened last week.

      A builder said that to me once! What I should have said (but thought of it too late) was that given that I was paying him to do a job, I expected that my glass would be full, not half full 🤣 But yes, you are right in this instance!
