You're right, the music made it, that's what's missing from the normal Saturday market. They have music (in various forms) every week at the Herne Hill market which is amazing... Come on East Dulwich!! 🎵

I was a little disappointed with the shops on LL not really getting in to the spirit of it all - a few balloons here and there and St Christopher's Hospice with a stall outside trying to capture passersby,who clearly had more important, non charitable things on their mind (given the look on some people's face), attention.

I thought the whole day was meant to be focused on ED community and traders not just NCR... shame.

I spent all day with those wonderful ladies, hilarious isn't the word {I was their steward} !! Children were either amazed or terrified but the brilliant folk that were out and about were fantastic. I'm at a meeting with the Council Events team on Wednesday so any comments can/will be passed on-- good or bad

I think it wasn't advertised very well as it did actually go up lordship lane right to captured on the rye on pellet road by the patch which was the magnolia ! They were spin painting and I had my jams and jelly stall and we had carol singers etc and also push studio had a Christmas market open yesterday . Nothing to say apart from abit on the back of a flyer that they were on . Shame

The stalls were great down NCR but the music was just too loud for me. Something gentle in the background is lovely but my head was splitting by the time we'd walked the full length. Shame, my purse came home a lot fuller than it would have done if the decibels were a few less. Perhaps we were there at the wrong time.

I didn't know anything about a market at Push studios - would have gone if I'd known.

I went down on the off chance to have a pre Christmas browse to get me in the spirit. Wonderfully organised, if somewhat too loud for me. I too would have stayed longer had it not been so crowded and painfully ear drum ringing. Nevermind, can't please everyone.

I was so gutted to miss this, especially Chris Shaw and The Rye Ranters Rip-roaring Barn Dance Band.


I heard his melodeon drifting down North Cross Road as I walked to the station on my way to - ironically - a melodeon class :(

I was at Football Millwall..


Would love to of seen Chris Shaw... Lovely man.. have not seen him for many many years...


Chris playing his Melodeon whilst standing up... Doing both at the same time can be a bit tricky :)


As compensation Millwall won, beating The Current FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic 2-1.

There were some cool elderly bearded people playing a weird english folk/sea shanty music. They were really good but struggled to get the mainly white, affluent middle class crowd to get dancing. I reckon if I'd had some more of that plum cider I would have been up for busting some moves.

Well, it was fun joining in with the dancing (at last I discover the true advantage of being stoney broke!)

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
