Jenny1 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've got to agree with treehugger and Otta. This is gold dust (mind you any opinion I express at the moment has to be filtered through the understanding that I'm currently on quite strong painkillers).The challenge now is to run with the concept.I wonder how many remember the hypnotic opening sequence of the classic 1987 movie set in our (newly) twinned city of New Orleans starring Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin?I think similar could be achieved using local musical talent and footage obtained by waving a mobile phone around on a balcony of the top floor of the Ladlands Estate. (Did I mention that the painkillers were strong?)

Too Good To Be True Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Last time I saw Easy D in Time Out it said this:"Somehow, since the millennium, East Dulwich has gone from being a relaxed, vaguely bohemian secret to a caricature of middle-class urban living. The online East Dulwich Forum is one of the most active local area forums in the country, where people get hot under the collar about unsightly advertising hoardings, noise after 10pm, and whether chain shops are welcome (Waitrose only, it seems)" Seemed to split opinion as I recall.I wonder what they say about Claps J Town?

sammy97c Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Maybe I am missing something but isn't the review largely positive?I'm fairly sure that TimeOut don't have a hidden agenda against East Dulwich...

Jeremy Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 At the turn of the millenium, it was a cheap(ish) neighbourhood which seemed to have a higher than average concentration of actors, artists, musicians, etc so "vaguely bohemian" isn't exactly the worst description I can think of. But by 2002, it already felt like an area in the grips of gentrification.

BrandNewGuy Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It was no spelling mistake ? Time Out have repeated the 'Easy D' tag on their Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/TimeOutLondon?fref=nfSo Easy D it is. T-shirts and baseball caps are in production as I write.

Zebedee Tring Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Easy D isn't for Bohemians. It's for beautiful people with flowers in their hair who sit on beanbags proclaiming how working class they are and how we should all support the workers' co-operative run Iceland, before rushing off to Franklins or the like. Easy D? To be followed by The Camber W and Honor O.
