ur not the crazy guy on the 176 bus a few weeks ago who, as soon as the bus hit ED, started ranting loudly & going mental abt how crap ED is & started swearing at everyone who got off in ED - he seemed to rate penge..

Yeah man, I want my money back - I've been conned too.


I thought I was buying into a low-key but reasonably pleasant London suburb with some decent houses which we could still afford, with a few nice parks, plenty of families so family friendly, a few bars and the odd restaurant or two.


Turns out it's nothing but a low-key but reasonably pleasant London suburb with some decent houses which we could still afford, with a few nice parks, plenty of families so family friendly, a few bars and the odd restaurant or two.


I can't believe I've been such a fool.

LOL...I'll take the average good denizen of The Elephant and Castle over the average Good Burgher of East Dulwich any day.


No cancel that!


I'll take the average inhabitant of The Elephant and Castle circa 1955-1980 where I was born and I grew up.


Most, would do anything for you.


Not so sure these days, though they might assist you with House Clearance, if required.

Who said East Dulwich was sh+t?? Please tell me and I'll have a word in their shell-like Rosie.


I mean, I know I didn't and I'm sure you're not saying that so who?


Name Names!


Secondly, if you or anyone else think that I'm going to let a comment like this go unanswered


"If ever there was an area to be underwhelmed by, that's it. " by Pickle at 8.13PM you're very much mistaken.


btw You are being rather selective aren't you Rosie?


I was RESPONDING to a criticism of the Area where I was Born and had an idyllic childhood and Youth so its all right for someone or some people to slag off MY Hometown but not all right for me to reply, accordingly?


How does that work?

Now I don't know if you are pulling my plonker or not Rosie.:))...but I can tell you that that area was totally safe, you could play out all day and night, as children and walk home at 3.00 AM/4.00AM without a care in the World, as Adults.


The people had little but "most" would do anything for each other and there was a real Community Spirit, I have to say.


The irony is that I actually praised Dulwich,generally, just 2 minutes later on The East Dulwich Issues Page on the "Is Alleyns School a Cuckoo?" thread as follows:


"Alleyns is one of the Jewels In The Crown of Dulwich. ".

Yeah you could even teach it to change the red light bulb when it blows.

    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
