Camberwell Green, but only if in that direction anyway, I wouldn't make a special trip unless it was Christmas (Lebkuchen! Big bags! Very cheap!) I sometimes went to the Peckham Lidl in the days before ULEZ, but my car isn't compliant so it wouldn't be worth a trip unless I was using the car for something else, and it's a pain on the bus as there's no direct route.

Crikey, I think I will give the SE23 forum a miss after reading that lot! Though I remember back in the day it was very strange. I can't remember exactly why now.

Thanks, I'm not sure a round trip to Anerley on the bus with my shopping trolley would be worth any potential savings 🤣 but I'll check it out!

??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress, whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.

That's interesting, because I thought the Overground would transform Forest Hill, but I don't see much evidence of that. Have I missed it? Can't say I've noticed much change in Penge either though, on the rare occasions I go there 😂 , so maybe I'm just inattentive ....

Is this the same group? A quick Google found it on X aka Twitter 🙄 Or are their aims completely opposite and they are just trying to sound like the other group to confuse people?

At least one of them has seats outside, but it's opposite the green bit at the end nearest East Dulwich, so quite pleasant to sit outside. Can't remember what it's called, but it has really nice vegan (I think) food.

I find the Sainsbury's in Forest Hill even more depressing than the Dog Kennel Hill one, if such a thing was possible Where is a nearby Aldi?? Do they deliver? I like Lidl for some things, but lugging it home is a pain. I also quite like Asda for some things. Also their delivery charges are low and their customer service is very good. It's annoying that I find I can't get everything I need/want from one supermarket, but unfortunately I am picky. Some things I like I can only get from Waitrose, eg a particular brand of olive oil (presently rocketing in price). I bought own brand soya milk from one place, possibly Asda, and found it had salt added to it. WTF?! They refunded me with no quibbles and collected it all next time they delivered.

I meant that particular Sainsbury's, but perhaps I am being too hard on it. But then I remember Sainsbury's in the days before there were supermarkets .....

There's loads of nice little places to eat on Rye Lane!

That Sainsbury's has always been horrible. It must be terrible to work there I don't even use it for deliveries any more, after a bad experience some years back. It's useful for collecting the very occasional Argos or Tu order, though. And to take my plastic recycling. And to get passport etc photos.

I think that artificial wood is often used now for bridges in nature reserves etc Obviously cheaper in the long term as it won't need replacing so often, and I think less slippery, so safer. And it looks ok. But I might be completely wrong 😀

Thanks for posting that. We went there a while ago and I think I must have made a bad choice of food as I didn't enjoy my meal much, however I don't eat meat so my options were limited. Clearly I should have had that bread, cheese and egg thing! Will deffo go back and try again! Oh, and I think it's absolutely fine to ask for a deposit in advance for a booking. They could be turning other people away for lack of tables, and then if the people who have booked a table just don't turn up, they have lost a lot of money. I've heard of people who used to book tables at several different restaurants, decide on the night where they wanted to go, then just turn up at one of them. Many restaurants ask for a deposit these days.

Even with a loft and kitchen conversion, the houses in Ulverscroft Road are relatively small, and to the best of my knowledge none of them have large gardens. Some of them have had ground floor extensions which leave them with hardly any garden at all, just a very small sitting space. I don't know about Fellbrigg, but certainly some of the Crystal Palace Road houses are bigger, with bigger gardens.

Really? I'm sorry to hear that. What did you order?

I'm still waiting for the pin for a card which was delivered some time ago. Luckily I was able to view it on the app, otherwise I still wouldn't be able to use the card.

Fish curry for me, Cochin prawn curry for Nyge, can't remember if it was plain basmati rice or coconut rice - we shared one portion- and a paratha, also shared. We also got free pappadams with three different dips, all delicious. There was so much of it we couldn't eat it all, I had the leftovers cold for lunch today! That was the second time I had the fish (sea bass fillets) because it was so yummy, last time Nyge had the Dal spinach curry. They have lots of other things, including vegan, lamb and chicken, but neither of us usually eat meat. It says on the back of the flyer that they can make adjustments according to your preferences. And again, it was all delivered really quickly. I'm usually highly critical, as you may have noticed! But this place deserves glowing reviews! Just order something, I'd be very surprised if you were disappointed (assuming you like South Indian food, which this is, despite the lamb and chicken options). But by all means invite yourself round for a meal 😜

Just had another absolutely fantastic delivery from here. Not just head and shoulders above but a stratosphere (?) above any of the Lordship Lane offerings. Really really delicious food and great value for money. Do try them, I can't recommend them highly enough!

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?

Crikey. I read his books when I was a child. My Family and Other Animals was the first one I read.

Tried it at the weekend. The food was excellent.

The wow factor. 🤮🤮🤮

Just had a delivery from Malabar Feast (in Maxted Road where the Ganapati takeaway used to be). It was absolutely delicious, really well cooked, very generous portions, reasonably priced and very speedy delivery (via Deliveroo but there are other options). Very highly recommended and we shall certainly be ordering from there again! ETA: Thread title edited on 10 April 2025 to reflect change of menu, change of management and disappointing meal.

Yes that was my first reaction 🤣

A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
