AllforNun I'm a longtime great admirer of your postings. So eloquent, witty and full of insight. Keep up the good work. PS Who's your dealer?

Once heard over the tannoy in ASDA - "Tess Cosis-Cheeper, Tess Cosis-Cheeper, please come to customer services!"

Well hopefully after reading this the public will be more aware South London Press

Scylla100 just walk in pretending to be a property developer and wave a brown envelope around. Then you'll probably get some deserved attention.

Consultation? Perhaps someone should email a link to this thread to the bods at DMC and PCT. They might even contribute but at least they couldn't ignore.

Much welcomed addition to upper LL. They've done a great job both inside and out and the staff seem to really care without being over fussed. Only small criticism would be that the food service is a little slow. 25mins for a burger! Can understand on a busy Sunday Lunch but not on a quiet Tuesday lunchtime. However, the food is good. Quite an interesting mix of previous regulars and the new clientel.

Thanks B. I'm a bit Denmark Hill today and tucked up in Nunhead with a very runny William Rose!

Camberwell?

Yup, thanks for ruining my shirt!

Could've warned me about the C&W content!

Wish I could take the credit Macroban, it is a great map - thanks Mockney. Somebody, I think David Mc, posted a link to a good map the other day.

I was just a town planners dream in an open ploughed field then! In Peter Akroyds London he talks about (not exact words) places having a sort of historical genetic make up so that no matter what you do to try and change a place the character remains intact. Camberwell's anarchic character/soul being an example.

Jah if you're happy to clog up your lungs, fill your body with carcinogens and choke up your arteries then surely flirting with pneumonia and sudden hypothermia can only heighten the pleasure! I worked in a non smoking building in Moscow and having a cig in -30c was just heaven.

They've been hired by Foxtons to gentrify Camberwell!

Maybe not, the cakes are a bit Alan Dale!

Think I'll pop into Jenny Eclair for a nice SMB

Bob went to Dulwich College but I've no idea about his grandfather. Have you checked out the human beatbox

Not very fashionable but I once saw Bob Monkhouse live and he blew away all my preconceptions of what I'd seen of him on TV. Outstanding!

3 1/2 years and plan to be here for many many more

Unless you can acquire East Dulwich Nationality via your birth or descent, you will most likely need to qualify under the East Dulwich Naturalisation process. The granting of a Certificate of Naturalisation is at the discretion of the EDF and there are criteria that need to be met. All candidates must: Own at least one Bugaboo Use clean needles when jacking up Heroin Promise not to defecate on Foxtons shopfront window Have sufficient knowledge of Lordship Lane Promise to forego the use of plastic bags Only shop for Organic produce

Mmm. Alan speak with Blue Tongue! Just finished supper, not an organic ingredient in sight but at least the chicken was free range and I think my fossil fuel supplier meets the current renewable source quota. Sean, I enjoy Alan's (and others) wind ups. Highly entertaining, intelligent (mostly) and thought provoking. It's great the way he fans the flames on subjects which are bound to raise the temperature. He's the EDF devils advocate and I suspect an alter ego. I think Mark should seriously consider having an Alan and Louisa room (with a health warning) so that people know what to expect. However, he does raise some interesting issues albeit by a rather strange route. The term "Organic" has been hijacked by marketeers. Just like GM free, freerange, additive free, low fat etc. I think what Alan and you are trying to say is that people are too quick to accept something based on an intrinsic value without understanding what it really means. In other words in our shallow lives (I'm just as guilty) we all jump on the Organic, Wheat Free and Fair Trade bandwagons like a bunch of sheep.

Where do I say ALL chemicals are harmful? Dropping bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved thousands of lives too so thats OK then? Your use of WR merely gave your post a Daily Express flavour (freerange?). ED organic capital? Back it up with facts. You're far too cynical if you think Organic is JUST a brand. Where have you been? Ever heard of informed lifestyle choices? Has the Kerry Katona marketing campaign influenced your choice?

I don't see what relevance to ED this thread is. Title should be "Buying organic meat and Blue Tongue". Lounge? It's obvious that if you stick harmful chemicals into food production it's going to have some kind of negative effect on us at the top of the chain and everything else in between. The use of chemicals in agriculture may have solved some problems but at the same time has created many new problems to be solved and a consequently a nice form of revenue generation for the chemical/drug companies. Just look at antibiotics and the creation of superbugs. I think most people these days opt for food that they can trust especially (but not exclusively) where children are concerned. Balanced with that is knowing the method of farming (welfare of animals, damage to environment). Organic is just one part of the picture. Taking it out of context like this creates a very unbalanced argument.

So it's AllForNuns Head then?

Was the farm where the outbreak occurred organically certified? Sorry haven't read story in depth so just wondered. Also wondering if part of the reason for the increase in midges is due to their natural predators being wiped out by non-organic and industrial agricultural methods i.e. decline in bird numbers due to destruction of habitat and knock on effects. Alan?
