I thought Penge came under the borough of Bromley Foxy

I have noticed a lack of 'Vote For' posters in windows of East Dulwich Residents.. Just 1 'Vote For Labour' poster on my road. I wonder why ?? As a Lifetime Labour voter and previous member of The Labour Party East Dulwich I certainly will not be voting Labour in the Forthcoming General Election. Apologies to Labour Candidate Helen Hayes Who I am sure could do a great job. I simply cannot risk Jeremy Corbyn ever becoming Prime Minister of this country. Corbyn has made Our Labour Party unelectable DulwichFox

The Green Party are just about being GREEN. What about everything else.. ??? ALL Parties should be GREEN DulwichFox

Have not been in or through Dulwich Village since 2014 / 2015 No need to. Not likely to notice shops if I had been Driving.. Foxy

Did not recognise any individual shop. inside or out..

What amazes me is that many people associate East Dulwich as a 'Posh' area. In certain 'Posh' Conservation areas people get Fined for painting their street door the 'Wrong' colour. or fitting the wrong type of windows. .. and yet here in 'Posh' old East Dulwich anyone can paint 'Garish' murals anywhere they feel fit.

If the wrong type of paint has been used then there is a real danger that the wall will become porous resulting in a serious internal damp problem, The cost to rectify such a problem will be high. I believe this is what occurred with the 'Bee' Mural next to The Plough Foxy

I have been following the process of the Mural. They were trying to paint Small Mauve circles on a Red Semi-Circle but seemed to be having problems making them round with the paint running down the wall. They have since painted over them. They do not seem to have a plan. Making it up as they go along. These people surely cannot be 'Competent' Artists. Dreadfull

The Money could of been spent on something more beneficial to the local Community. The Children at Heritage Park Primary School in Peterborough rasised ?25,000 to pay for Outside Gym Equipment on their playing field. If only Southwark Council had more imagination. A similar facility on Goose Green Perhaps. Not just for children. For adults too. https://www.heritageparkschool.co.uk/gallery/?pid=3&gcatid=2&albumid=95 DulwichFox.

Whilst taking pictures of the Mural in its early stages I was confronted by a couple of local people one of which I know, saying what an eyesore they thought it was. I thought I would reserve my judgement until it was finished. Speaking to a Resident of Nutfield Road who thought the Mural was dreadful. That person had made enquiries as to how much it was costing the local council. They were told Southwark Council were paying ?10,000 for the commission. DulwichFox

I think the EDT may be showing it.. DulwichFox

My shop bought Hummus says to eat withing 3 days of opening.. Foxy

Ready made Coleman's is not that nice.. Mustard needs to be made fresh from Powder and cold water. It should be made 10 - 15 mins before use. DulwichFox

It's a new Graffiti Wall As several local residents have already referred to it as such.

I have eaten Hummus today bought from the Co-Op dated use by 10th Nov. Foxy

I don't think they are the same thing. ??? Vape Vapour disappears in seconds.. Theatre 'Smoke' can Hang in the air for many minutes.. I Stand to be corrected. Foxy

Sparklers are Dangerous.. Always best to have a bucket of water to put them in when they go out. Foxy

That's right they do.. They fry in oil for Younger people and Dripping for older / elderly folk. Unless you specify what you prefer. Codfellas also have seating to eat in. I used to be a regular there but now have a eating disorder and cannot manage to eat a full meal. Large portions, reasonable prices. Too far to take away. food would go cold. I now use Semas.. 1 Min walk. Seems to vary but friendly staff and fish cooked to order. Large portions.. Cod and Chips ?8.70 Foxy

My Roofer does small jobs for me as a favour. When he has a spare hour or so . He is always busy.. He does a lot of Loft extensions and complete roofs. He is a local man born in East Dulwich now in his 60's. I have jobs I need doing but he is so busy. If you have a specific job you need doing I will look up his details and PM you Foxy.
