  1. I ride an old Giant mountain bike I picked up in holland for 18 euro and wondered, during the recent icy spell, where are all the fixies - I was cycling through Spitalfields at the time. Then, crossing the Essex road, I saw a fixie doing a track start balance at the lights with a full size christmas tree on his shoulder. Cool, very cool, I begrudgingly admitted.
  2. I'm new to the East Dulwich Forum and couldn't help noticing that most of the recent threads are concerned with petty thefts, break-ins and general suspicious activity in the area. And then at the weekend I read the beginning of Andy McNab's autobiography 'Seven Troop'.

    These are direct quotes and show that not a lot has changed over thirty years except for the fact that the target has maybe shifted a bit nearer than Dulwich village.

    'I hated everyone and everything, mostly because I didn't have what they had. I'd spent the first fifteen years of my life in South London. Despite what Only Fools and Horses would have you believe, Peckham was never full of Del Boy cheeky chappies, having a laugh on the market stall, then off to drink brightly coloured cocktails in the local. It was full of unemployment, drugs, guns and mindless vandalism.'

    'We'd saunter past old ladies sitting on park benches in posh places like Dulwich, areas that we reckoned deserved to be robbed, grab their handbags and do a runner.'
