The ED Info-Pack

[Ant]

During an idle moment I found myself musing on a brochure or somesuch to be distributed to people as they arrived to make their homes in ED. It would be called something corny like So You've Decided To Live In East Dulwich, and would tell newcomers all they needed to know about this little corner of London.

If it was up to you, what would you put in it?

1. Sign up to the East Dulwich Forum

4 I'd tell them that there is going to be no tube station or M&S food and that was just a ploy to get them here by one of the many estate agents.

Hugenot - sensible and still mostly a list of the forum contents

I did used to have the idea of creating a site along those lines but this forum overtook it and I wouldn't want to tread on toes - but some kind of summary of forum consensus (with 2nd opinions) might be complimentary to the forum rather than in competition? I don't know.... the other ED sites don't really provide that kind of info at the moment I think

CPT CPT CPT CPT :-S Unless of course they were annoying types that I'd not enjoy drinking with! ;-)

BTW, I wasn't thinking of actually creating anything like that. I'm far too lazy (ahem, sorry, I mean busy). I was just wondering what it was about ED that people felt others really ought to know.
