If only things were so simple eh? Quite an entertaining read.

The economy

I think it is hard to save up money, because you have to be good and that is really complicated for me

Me too, Keyara!

DulwichMum: the digested read.

When asked what you would do if you had children but not enough money to feed them:

E: 'I would first of all start begging on the streets, secondly start praying, and thirdly, ask my friends for some money'

ANYTHING but them!

That won't work in East Dulwich.

Because ED was never, is not, and will never be, a "very rich" area.

Yet, it must be a source of frustration for you to walk down Northcross Road and LL and see all the shops and businesses still open and doing their best - despite the fact we are at the end of the beginning of the recession you have so looked forward to.

Please do reply with one of your cryptic links if you feel inclined.

is it me or is that kid Edward look more like a girl than a boy?

I'm just shocked that there are photos of children on the BBC website for everyone to see. And they're looking straight at the camera so it must have been at hip height. Disgusting. And the Mr Tescos and Mr Budgens they talk about, obviously wrong 'uns who wear nothing but carrier bags.

[bigbadwolf]

I know!

I wonder if the photographer was 'shooting from the hip'. It can bring out a very mixed reaction.

I didnt spot that wolfie, but if thats her real name it is a bit cruel.

It works very well in West Dulwich and The Village (runs perfectly manicured hand through glossy locks and smiles)...
