  1. I miss James Barber, he was excellent.
  2. That looks like a dahlia tuber. The clumpy, swollen shape with sprouting white roots is typical of dahlia tubers that have overwintered in the ground. They often look a bit mutant or alien, especially when several tubers fuse together or grow in odd directions. If you dug it up from your garden and it’s not slimy or rotten, it’s probably still viable. You can pot it up or plant it directly in the ground once the risk of frost is gone. Keep the knobbly end (where the stem was) just at or slightly below the surface and water it in. If you’re unsure, you can leave it somewhere warm and bright for a bit and see if shoots appear. That’ll confirm it’s a living dahlia and not some rogue tuber trying to cause confusion.
  3. The fake East Dulwich group has thousands of members and has now added Herne Hill to their title. If you look up members, the admin team will come up and it’s run by I think Brazilian admins such as Samual Oliveira, and they own East Dulwich Cleaners and East Dulwich Builders. The real EDF recently set up by Joe on FB is new and members are lower and the bio states it’s connected to this group. Likewise if you check out the admin on my East Dulwich Mums, you’ll see we are not the same people that run the other groups. All the information is on the groups when you read the bio and check the admin list. My East Dulwich Mums group is private and we have three admins so we all just pop on and off the group throughout the day to approve posts and it has been working successfully since we first started the group. We do give a lot of members pre approval who have proven to be trustworthy and genuine. We also vet members on sign up to try and weed out the spammers. Obviously now and again one will slip through the net but for the most part having the group private and with posts all requiring approval has meant it’s pretty much well run with minimal drama.
  4. The link is showing the real link to the East Dulwich Forum that Joe on here set up. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DanoiLd48/?mibextid=wwXIfr East Dulwich Mums is my group and is not a spin off from this group. I have no connection to the other EDF Facebook group and nor do I promote any cleaning services. My group is very well run thank you and your information is incorrect. No, that is the new Facebook group that the admin on here has set up. Joe does need to turn the settings on that group to pre approval for all posts as there is a lot of posts on there that isn’t relevant.
  5. I know but the confusion is this newer version of the EDF was probably why he could keep the name since he set the group up whilst the older version of the EDF was running. I’m assuming he had to add on Herne Hill to get around the EDF name and reinstate his group. As per this:
  6. Was that this group he is referring to?
  7. Library of things is coming to Dulwich. It’ll be at Dulwich Leisure Centre. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHGIluhiqSo/?igsh=MXNnZHpmZml2cG1sYg== Link to website: Link Library Of Things
  8. Selling this Britax car seat in excellent condition. No longer needed. Collection near Heber. £20
  9. It’s supposed to be muzzled AND on a lead in a public place and it wasn’t. That is the law, so she did right reporting it. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-legal-restrictions-on-xl-bully-dog-now-in-force
  10. Nice to see my EDMums group getting a mention! Not sure we qualify as a cult, though!
  11. The oldest business still operating in East Dulwich SE22 is The Plough, located at 381 Lordship Lane. Established in 1791, it has been serving the community continuously since then. The original building was replaced in 1858 by the current structure. Another longstanding establishment is Bells, The Dulwich Kitchen & Bathroom Company, an independent business run by the Bell family since 1919. It is considered one of the oldest businesses on Lordship Lane. Additionally, Dulwich Public Baths, located at 2b Crystal Palace Road, opened on 25 June 1892. It is London’s oldest public baths to have remained in continuous operation. These establishments have been integral parts of the East Dulwich community for over a century.
  12. Thank you for this, I’ve passed the message on to others. That is a lovely gesture. The owner at Mr Simms is called David.
  13. That sounds thoughtful and lovely of you. I would personally go inside the shop and ask and see what they would prefer. I am sure they will be touched that you/we feel his loss within the community.
  14. That is correct, the chap with the beard by the post office.
  15. Hello Hello everyone, I have some very sad news to share. Many of you will know Akif from Dulwich Dry Cleaners on Lordship Lane, and I thought you might like to be aware that the shop will be closed soon for his funeral. Tragically, Akif has passed away from injuries sustained in a vicious dog attack. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7ve32ejqp1o.amp to share.

  18. I can well believe this given my own experience of trying to report a crime, having CCTV evidence and it being dismissed. Twice.
  19. I joined the same year and month as you. 18th September. I remember thinking how amazing the forum was back then, I met so many lovely via this forum. I do feel the forum has changed too with the originals all moving out. I never understood the appeal of EDT😆
  20. Springers on East Dulwich Grove was considered the poshest eatery back in the day. You got your meat and two vegs there and the owners were so lovely. I’ve very fond memories of Springers. I was underaged at the time but I used to frequent this place with my best friend. It was the weirdest pub going but they had a live singer who was amazing. Casablanca Tavern, 78 East Dulwich Grove.
