(Re-posting as a reminder)


Hi


The East Dulwich Forum does not have a FaceBook Group.


Someone has stolen the forum's name, phrases such as "Talk about local restaurants, pubs, shops, services, transport, planning, recommendations" and that someone has built a Facebook group on the forum's reputation (it's been going for 14 years!).


We do have a line in our terms that says "If you want to reproduce anything on this website outside of eastdulwichforum.co.uk you must first get permission from the individual message poster or the management". They have not done this.


And if you look up the facebook group the only announcement is an admin recommending another as a cleaner. That cleaner has been barred from the forum numerous times for spamming.


Anyway I just want to make it clear that that the East Dulwich Forum has nothing whatsoever to do with the Facebook Group using its name. I don't want to attempt close the facebook group down as it's obviously useful but I have asked facebook to ask the owners to change the name as it's not fair to use the effort I've put in over 14 years to build up someone else's business. Facebook have refused to implement the rules of copyright, they're too big to care about us.



We are not connected.


Thanks for listening.

Unless you have copyrighted the name be very careful that you do not lose the rights to EDF by allowing this FB page to steal your identity. It would be a costly affair to get back your rights. Think what has happened to Dulwich Hamlet. If you have copyrighted it than you must protect your copyright!

I think you're right, Penguin68 probably meant trademarks but I would rather not spend the ???s for trademark protection. I believe what they are doing is "passing off"...

All the MPs in the house of commons (and some of the journalists) seem to be on a few.


I see the leaks in the papers :)

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      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.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      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.
