From my banishment, to gastropubs, the demise and resurrection of the Midland Bank and its various logos. What next? Hang on, I'll sort it for everyone. Hu-Hum........ Yummy mummy, Iceland, prams, gentrification, cheese on toast (pizza), blow-in, working class, ghosts. There we go. As you were.

Isn't this just so stupid?


You participate on a thread in the main section, then go to The Lounge and find that Louisa has started a 'Lounge Response' thread. So do you start the discussion again in the Lounge? Transfer your posts backwards & forwards?


Ridiculous. What is the point of having two threads with the same topic? If Louisa has something to say, she should be able to say it wherever she chooses. And if it's the general section & they can't cope with a difference of opinion, they are the ones with a problem.

Sorry AqM, I just had to respond I should have said its just my take on things and continue as you were in the main section. The minute I say anything these days people assume I'm on some wind up mission. It's disconcerting. I do genuinely believe that the community is for everyone whether that be ED, Peckham, Chelsea or Cannock Chase. Why should Peckham only be for some sections of the community and ed for others.


Let's not get this thread off topic too though. I apologise for taking things into the lounge.


Louisa.

Don't apologise Louisa. You're not at fault.


All I'm saying is that you shouldn't be forced into starting new threads in The Lounge because you can't participate in the general section. I rarely post there either but get the occasional urge. And if you get the occasional urge, you should be allowed to do it.

I had a read of the site. I always like to read computershorty's stuff.


There is a lot on non-ED stuff on there. Or haven't you looked at the site yet?

WHY ? WHY ? Why was my new post moved to the lounge ? I Was born in East Dulwich in the early 1950s, lived in a Prefab in Underhill Road, East Dulwich in the 1950s/60s, went to Heber Road School in East Dulwich, worked for Southwark Council pruning the trees in East Dulwich in the late 1960s & 1970s, got married and had two children in East Dulwich in the 1970s, my Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, were all born, lived & worked in East Dulwich and last of all my website is not just about Camberwell, there is a lot of memories/photos relating to East Dulwich which I thought might be of interest, seems not, In future I will not bother to inform the East Dulwich Forum of any new Material, Memories or Photos relating to East Dulwich if it is going to be moved to the lounge or is of no interest

JOHNNYBOY please keep posting up on here your website is extremely interesting to me and many other old school residents of ED. Without people like you sharing your memories, this forum would be a very dull place. Seems strange that anything mentioning 'new' stuff for 'new' residents is kept safe and sound in the main section, and yet as old timer ED residents all our stuff gets moved to the lounge. Clearly we aren't that important anymore. Sickening isn't it?

    • So, on Saturday, we suddenly had a leak through on to our bedroom ceiling, with water falling onto our bed. In a panic, we messaged friends to try to find a reliable plumber who would be able to help. My oh my, did we need help. One of our friends suggested Nico; she had been a client of his for a while and recommended him very highly. Nico was unable to come during the day but said that he would visit our home in the evening. The flow of water had stopped but we kept our fingers crossed that he would turn up and that he was affordable. Nico arrived just when he said that he would, climbed up into the loft and then he explained what he was going to do and why. We agreed, the source of the leak was sorted and he gave us advice about how we could make sure that it was unlikely to happen again.  The price of the work was totally reasonable and we are genuinely grateful for his intervention. We intend to use him again and would always recommend him. Aside from his highly professional behaviour, his social skills are outstanding, he is a kind and thoughtful man. Dear Nico, thank you.
    • Are there any Physical Activity (Bronze) approved providers near East Dulwich? Any ideas would be highly appreciated!      
    • The failure of the council year on year to prevent the corporate take-over of our precious public space is appalling. The consultation process this year is deliberately dumbed down and takes the form of a survey with a range of anodyne tick boxes designed to give the appearance of a 'consultation' without requiring any hard comment or information that could be used to oppose the survey.  It may be possible to get some answers from Gala themselves so I will try to do that and post here if anything forthcoming.
    • Avoid Acorn at all cost. Appalling service in every regard. We were involved in a sale and they repeatedly made procedural errors that delayed, and almost tanked, the sale. As buyers, they knew literally nothing about the property and were unable to answer even the most basic questions. Instead they simply lied rather than saying they didn’t know any information which caused issue in the long run. I hear only positive things about Truepenny’s.
