The Red Bricks found around the area are likely to be Sand Faced Flettons. My old Flat at the top of Dunstans Rd, was made of those. DulwichFox

People often mention Clapham in comparison to east Dulwich. I only ever travel across Clapham Common on the 37 bus when on route to Richmond. I often wonder where this gentrified part of Clapham is. Would it be by Clapham South Station. ? My Ex came from around that end of Clapham but have not been there for 30 years or so. DulwichFox

Class whatever it is, is something you are born into.. If you suddenly come into money. I.E. A lottery win. That does change your social status or class. You will not be mixing with the Stars or Royalty. I am by no means wealthy, but I am fortunate enough to be in a position to afford on occasion to eat in some of the finest restaurants. I'm not talking about East Dulwich. I mean Fine Dining. However, that environment does not suit my nature. I simply would not feel comfortable. There is a problem with the Social Class Ladder. You see, what they have done is remove some of the rungs. This makes it impossible to climb. If you suddenly find yourself in money, you will not be finding yourself surrounded by new rich friends. You may well find you have lost some dear old friends. I know people who work hard just to survive, or even struggle to survive . They are good people who if they came into money, would more than likely share it with others. For some people, having someone special in their lives is a greater wealth than any amount of money. You can have pots of money and nothing or no one to spend it on. DulwichFox

Not a member of you local Neighbourhood Watch then ? Perhaps if your house was burgled, or your precious Bicycle stolen, you would be posting here to see if anyone had seen anything. DulwichFox

There is car parking space at The Grove Tavern. A Park and Ride/Walk could be organised even on a temp. basis. DulwichFox

It works very well and fast on my own machines. . It sits very well on when viewed at the recommended resolution I'm not sure you are seeing the site as it is intended. The CCS3 Transitions do not work on an Apple Mac. Despite using -webkit-transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out 0.25s; -moz-transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out 0.25s; -ms-transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out 0.25s; -o-transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out 0.25s; transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out 0.25s; Some Browsers still seem to have problems with the Transitions. It is entirely hand coded in CCS3 / PHP / HTML using Dreamweaver6. Over 600 hits with a dozen or so Bad reviews. I can live with that. I have had requests for inclusion when first going live before posting here. Will take all comments on board. Thank you for your input. DulwichFox

The site is meant more as a Directory with links to other sites all in one place without the need to Google everything to find out what time the Local Pharmacy opens till. (example) Just Hover over a pharmacy and it will tell you. Links to all major stations/ Airports . Travel Alerts / Emergency Services There's a lot of info there and more added daily. DulwichFox

Penguin.. Several versions of Dulwich Night Out have been around for many years. It was lost when BT took away free hosting. Optimisation for CSS Transitions on mobile devices is complex if not impossible. Some devices simply do not support them, as do some Browsers. Links are still being updated. Many establishments do not have their own Websites and rely on other listings that have reviews about their businesses. Whether entries should be listed alphabetically ? well that would be fine if everything was static. But having to change every inclusion every time a business changed would be impractical. The Links / The Hover Transitions to load pictures / are all referenced in different areas of code. So every drop down would need to be re-coded to change a single entry. All entries are liable to be removed and new ones included as moods change. The Patch would not of been one of my choices but would seem to be a popular choice for many here on EDF so got a mention. I am more concerned about Functionality rather than content. Like if you build a Television, make sure it works and worry about what programmes are going to watch later. DulwichFox

Hi all the good people of East Dulwich Forum. I am developing a Website for East Dulwich. It is for information about Restaurants, Pubs, Bars, Shops, Transport, Schools, Emergency Services. Feed back is required as to appearance of site in your Browser and Functionality. The site is best viewed in Explorer, Google Chrome or Safari. Resolution 1600/900 The site should be viewed full screen. Functionality to check. Page sits centrally on your screen. (Boxes are not right biased) Mouse over boxes on 'Shops' and 'Food & Drink' pages should drop down to reveal address and tel. nos. and Picture of business should appear in large box. Clicking on drop down box name should take you to website where available. Site is in constant development and any feedback of changes, IE Business no longer running would be appreciated. Any Feedback would be appreciated either here of preferably by the e-mail DNO Button on Menu Bar. The Site is written almost entirely CSS and it is possible that some older browsers will not be able to handle some of the more complex CSS Transitions. Also there may currently be problems when viewed on A Mac. Site can be found at http://www.dulwichnightout.com Thanks for your help in advance. DulwichFox :)

The good people of Dulwich Village seem to have more respect for their own property and surrounding area. They choose not to turn that area into an urban ghetto. I doubt very much it would be tolerated. I'm sure many residents of Dul-Vill. (See what I did there) love the little 4x4 trip to down town ED. to see all the lovely 'Works of Art' painted on the ends of terraced houses. (How novel) Whilst they do a bit of browsing on North Cross Rd. No offence to Residents of Dulwich Village intended. I really wished ED residents could show the same respect for our local area. Sorry. I'm going to lie down in a dark room. Foxy :)

High court upholds Camden busking restrictions Judge says policy introducing fines of up to ?1,000 for busking without a licence is 'necessary and proportionate' New licensing restrictions on buskers in Camden have been declared lawful by the high court. Comedians Mark Thomas and Bill Bailey and musician Billy Bragg are among celebrities who took to the streets to protest over the restrictions being introduced by the council in the north London borough after noise complaints by local residents. Busking without a licence is to become a criminal offence in Camden, punishable with fines of up to ?1,000. Bragg, who spent his early career busking around London, said licensing would hurt a fundamental aspect of UK culture. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/mar/11/high-court-upholds-camden-busking-restrictions Busking has been around since 1860 ish New laws impose restrictions on certain instruments. The Melodeon (Used by Morris Dancers) is to be classed as a 'Wind' instrument and faces strict restrictions. Having been a Street Performer myself I understand there needs to be some restrictions on certain areas. IE Covent Garden, New Bond Street, St Christopher's Place , all regular spots of Blackheath Morris Men when I danced with them. But a general clamp down on Buskers and possibly other Street Performers is just not on. Buskers are an essential part of London. They attract tourists. They cheer people up. Anyone have any views on the subject. DulwichFox
