It is god awful. All British Rail buffet paninis and provincial museum sarnies. With sweet chilli drizzle.

The sooner it goes bust and becomes a decent outlet (beautiful site) the better.

Lot's of French people in ED, and Huguenots were amongst the earliest residents in the surrounding areas. Champion Hill and De Crespigny Park for example are the name of the estate that formerly stood there, owned by a Huguenot refugee of the family of Crespigny. His descendant Claude Champion de Crespigny entertained the Prince Regent there in 1804 and was made a baronet the following year. There are many roads locally whose names tell of a strong French invasion to 'these ere parts' going back centuries!

I love all things French, especially the food and wine, ok maybe just the food and wine, but just not sure of the reason for French businesses setting up here, there seem to be a disproportionate amount currently opening in ED or maybe it is happening across London? Its all good though.

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
