Good Morning East Dulwich Campers


So I was watching that new fangled tele-visual receiver late last night, well past the time that Mrs Miggings (The Landlady to you) had drunk her Cocoa and gone to bed, and lo upon the phosphorous green screen there was a bunch of young girls dressed in swimming costumes that didn't leave much to the imagination, I tell you I have seen more material on my KK monogrammed handkerchief, strutting around telling me to send them a message via some weird and wonderful device called TEXT and using a number with only 5 digits in it!!!


Now I have to say, I believe that the telephonic exchange does allow you to omit the area code from a number so that has allowed me to conclude that with only 5 digits to dial then these young harlots must live locally to East Dulwich.


But I digress from my query, the ladies in question were all rather pretty, or appeared that way after my evening G&T, and I was wondering if any attractive young lady of marrying age would actually need to advertise her availability via this service or if in fact the young ladies that do are more, how shall I say without offending anyone .. oh yes as Mrs Miggings 12 year old son is so find of expressing “Mingers” (what a distasteful child young Cyril is)


So I ask the Gentlefolk of East Dulwich, have you ever called one of these numbers, or even advertised your availability as a young woman of marrying age via the service, and if so what was your experience of the person at the other end of the telephonic conversation and did they look like the young ladies on the screen or does Young Cyrils description fit them rather nicely?

I have to admit that as these services (according to the small print on screen) cost more then a vodka and Tonic at the EDT per message, then why on earth people don't just go to the pub and buy random people of the opposite sex a drink, after all that is about as likely to get a date as using a premium rate text service I expect.

    • For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.
    • I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December. 
    • I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.
    • That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress.  I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of  a  mystery.  The planning register didn't show the application as decided.  I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application.  The meeting was itself  flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date).   Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining.  As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment.  I'm no expert though.
