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.

    • 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.
    • Hello, I'm looking for an entertainer for my 9 year old son's birthday party. Looking for someone who can organise some games for the kids as my son and his friends are quite active. Regards, Sue
    • My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago.  We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed.   feeling a lot less sad about that now!  
    • What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.
