Nice one, Skewriff.


C'mon, Forumites, how many times do you get the opportunity to help choose the title of a book pre-publication? The anthology will be a celebration of local talent and creativity - and there's plenty of it out there, believe me ...

I'll be honest - I did not vote because I did not think any of the titles really told me much about the fact that this was a group of East Dulwich Writers. They were clever and sometimes funny words, but not book titles. But best wishes with the book anyway!

The waiting is over. At last the result of the poll can be announced.


Combining your votes with our own secret ballot has resulted in he winning title being (drum roll)


- Hoovering The Roof -


Dullitch Scratch and An Earwig Ate My Shorts came a very close joint second.


In honour of the popularity of these three titles we have decided to ask members of the group who want to write new material for the collection to use one of them as inspiration for their work.


All of us in EDWG would like to thank the 138 people who voted it was a great response and much appreciated. Thanks East Dulwich Forum.


When the collection is ready we will let you all know.

      Plasterer- Jason Arnold - Highly recommend

      By sarahbr · Posted

      Another recommendation for Jason Arnold. He took great care and did an excellent job repairing a kitchen wall and plastering. Very personable and friendly and left the place clean and tidy. Communication with him was speedy and straightforward. Highly recommend.

      Lads ‘selling cleaning kit on doors’

      By Sue · Posted

      If memory serves, there was rather more to things than that. Young people were being coerced in some way to sell these things by the people running the scam. I am guessing the relevant forum threads no longer exist, as this has been going on for decades round here, and I imagine in other places as well.

      Recommendation for Nick Minns (bathrooms, kitchens, refurbishing rooms and brickwork)

      By Mn1acc · Posted

      I wanted to provide a strong recommendation for Nick Minnes and his team. I came across Nick when someone on our street was moving out shortly after we moved in and posted on our street whatsapp group with their top ten best trades people in which Nick was listed as a handyman+. We had just moved into a house that had been lived in for 40 years by a couple in their late 80s so there was a lot of work to do! Over the last 5 years, we have used Nick on multiple occasions. The definition of handymen+ does not do Nick and his team justice as they do so much more than this. The work they have done includes: A complete new bathroom refurbishment (including re-building a new wall) Completely refurbishing a sitting room (including inserting sound insultation and bespoke cabinetary) Bespoke under stairs storage (after a number of other trades people said it was too difficult) Preparing the house for plastering (removing old wallpaper, filling in cracks) Outside restoration of bricks and cornice Fixing floorboards down Nick is not your normal handymen. He is extremely creative and also great with thinking through colour schemes. I wouldn't hesitate to use Nick and his team again. Everything that they have done for me has been of the highest quality. They are trustworthy, tidy, reliable and honest. I already have a list of other jobs to get them back in for. I would very happily provide a reference for Nick - just like the people did who were leaving our road.  Nick can be contacted on: 07866 267 581. Thanks, Andy
