DV = NIMBYist Tories

ED = We'll be liberals until we sell this poky mid-terrace and move to Clapham like we've always dreamed of

I think you folks are missing the point of this thread. If I may refer you to the opening post, ?Local historian and author Brian Green, of Dulwich Village, will be giving a fascinating insight into the transformations of East Dulwich and Dulwich Village in the Victorian period?


It isn?t really to do with our employers not paying us enough to afford Georgian piles.

So would you become slowly Tory in DV? (presuming you aren't currently)


Criminals have no-one else to blame for their behaviour, etc?

er, you like defining social attitudes/political views etc by entirely by postcodes? oh well


Nope, If a couple of million dropped my way I'd like a bigger house than the biggest in SE22 but would like to stay local as I've been round here for 25 years, so I'd look at Dulwich Village with it's wall to wall hangers and floggers....


Quite happy with SE22 and all its beardy lefties and guardian readers. Is that the SE22 Characteristic on your postcode socialmap thingy?

well spotted Brendan


This is some of the blurb just a click away...


Brian Green writes ?East Dulwich was transformed from a pleasant rural area of farmland and hedgerows, studded here and there by Georgian mansions each with attractive gardens and winding paths, into a maze of small streets made up of similar but not identical Victorian terraced villas ? and it all happened within the space of 25 years.

In and around Dulwich Village, the pace of change was slower. A handful of farms still supplied milk to local houses into the 20th Century and the area retained much of its open land, transformed from hay fields into playing fields. A wealthy elite built grandly on its surrounding hills, looked after by an army of domestic servants.

Separating these two diverse communities was the commercial thoroughfare of Lordship Lane with its early chain stores and providing the transport links which daily transported many of the new population by tram, or train to their offices in London?.

Brian Green, who has written and lectured extensively on Dulwich?s history for many years, will explain the causes and effects of this urbanisation.

No more than any other historian knowledgable about their home territory? :-

Didn't seem rubbish - easily, given this Forum's psyche, it could have been a heart felt comment! The ? indicates a ... question anyway abt if he is or isn't biased... Maybe I am lacking in humour though I do laugh a lot on reading EDF posts.

I think you were too busy sitting in traffic on the Walworth Road to think about politics.


But you'd come home knowing the Hermits Cave did a nice cheap pint of Guiness and was one of the better pubs in South London, I'd imagine,

    • I had my car ransacked on Wednesday night, I assumed I’d left it unlocked. It was unlocked again this morning though and I definitely locked it last night.   The car was outside my front door and the keys near the door inside so I assume this is a relay theft  issue with someone using a remote key reader. I would advise keeping keys away from the front door. I have reported to police. 
    • They plan to close the Mount Pleasant Office, absolute and utter madnesss
    • We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".  
    • Thanks for the invite, although most people will be at work or at school. It's a Monday morning...
