What about poor incomers?


Also I'm an incomer to London too, I was brought up in Birkenhead but cos my dad is originally a Bermondsey man am I still a Northerner and when my 8yr old gets older, will she still be an ED newcomer?

poor incomers are still incomers CWALD. I too am not a wealthy incomer but I think it makes no difference. I'm an incomer to London as well - moved here from Scotland over 20 years ago.

I think our offspring will be ok as according to previous posts the requirement for being a local is living here while having secondary education.

I'm an incomer - but wish I wasn't.


We had to pay a small fortune to buy here 18 months ago although I understand that "locals" were able to buy a 3 bed house for under ?2.70 in days gone by.


If I were sitting on a house with that much equity in it I'd be laughing at incomers, not getting angry with them.

"The only incomers welcome in East Dulwich are low-incomers who went to secondary school here."


but they're not incomers if they went to school here, I'm confused. Are we talking in-comers (people who have come in from toutside East Dulwich) or incomers (people who have an income)?

Well I?m not just a mere ?incomer? but a heinous foreign invader from South Africa who has been marauding across this green and pleasant land for the last 5 years, cricket bat in one hand and bottle of brandy in the other. Taking your jobs, ravishing your woman & committing such unspeakable acts as keeping my bottled ale in the fridge and assuming the best in those I meet.


Anyway I decided I liked ED a few years ago and therefore did not knock it down and set fire to it.


Mrs Brendan comes from a place called Up North and says she will do some very unpleasant sounding things to me involving whippets and canals if I try any more of the ravishing bit.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
