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?

    • Possibly a little specialist (and the ultimate eventual clothes horse unless you're into fitness!) but we have the Pivot: PIVOT | Ultimate Space-Saving Bed & Home Gym Solution It's a full weight Olympic squat rack which pulls down from the wall into a double/king bed. When we bought it as a Kickstarter project it was less expensive than a murphy bed from places like the Wall Bed Company, though this may no longer be the case. Super easy to put together ourselves.
    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
