Since I've moved back to E Dulwich I've decided that I want to do everything locally, including working. So I'm planning to give up my job in the City and open an origami paper shop on Lordship Lane. I think I will call it 'Dulwich Origami'. I'm quite good at folding a wrap for storing small items when I'm out and about so I can guess it can't be too hard to learn some other folds/shapes and then run some origami classes from the shop. I just wondering what the level of local interest might be in origami?

Well I had a couple of enquiries re: renting a room out, but my wife wasn't keen on the idea when I told her. Someone sent me a PM with good advice on how to 'unsalt' halloumi. I'm still waiting for a recommendation for servicing the Merc though - hopefully someone will know a good garage.

What happened to Bob?

Tears was actually meant to be read like 'stairs' rather than 'steers'...

I think I will call it 'Dulwich Origami'


Great idea Bob, but some work needed on that name. Here are some suggestions to get you started, with some possible USP's for your business:


- Origami hand-folded by Buddhist monks: Paperchaste


- Exotic sweets with origami wrappers: Nippon Tuck


- Japanese emporium in Peckham: SamuRye


- or your original Lordship Lane origami shop idea: Crease Dulwich


Hope that's helpful x

One letter missing --


'Dulwich OrigaSmi' --


this version should increase footfall.

Thank you - I quite like 'Crease Dulwich' as that conveys the sense of what I want to do and also captures the local zeitgeist. I've been walking up and down Lordship Lane today looking for a suitable property - I couldn't see anything - but what about North Cross Road? Would anyone go there for an origami shop?

you will all be pleased to know that I finally realised BB is a nuisance with nothing better to do than post idiotic nonsense and meaningless rhetoric. its tiresome?! no wonder normal residents refrain from posting if this is the standard, which needs raising, methinks. It isn't even funny.

I am a normal resident with views and opinions I like to express and share.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
