Dulwich Born And Bred

That is good as a few have told me stories of being left to lug things upstairs whilst they watched them struggling as most like to carry as many bags as possible to help speed up time, not good for their backs!

It?s not their job though to lug things upstairs to the kitchen, their job is to deliver it to your door. It?s back breaking stuff lugging everyone shopping to the van, off the van, to the house, and then usually offloading the bags to you and they have to do it at every house. I shop online because I don?t want to go to the shops, push a trolley around, pack, put it in a car, unpack and then sort it out indoors, so I?m quite happy to take over from my front door and they seems quite appreciative of the fact that I?m making things easier for them too.

I don?t make the poor drivers lug my shopping through to my kitchen and as a result all of them have thanked me. A few have commented that customers have just stood by and watch them lug all the bags to their kitchen without helping. I?m thankful enough that I didn?t have to walk around the shops and lug it all home. They just leave my bags in the hallway by my front door. I?m with Ocado so I hand them back all of my bags (they will take any carrier bags and refund you back). I am not keen to have food loose in the crates but in all honesty, the trollies and baskets we use whilst shopping is probably just as grimy!

Ooooh, I saw Lesley Sharp walking down Lordship Lane. My friend saw Cornell S John in M&S. It?s harmless fun, it?s not like they are being stalked and they are left alone for the most part.

Good on you! They should be named and shamed!

I don?t mind Waitrose as I prefer it to Marks/Co-Op plus my grocery shop is Ocado/Waitrose so it suits my needs. I just think opposite Marks and the fact that the shop is quite small is a weird location for them to choose. Well, I wished for a sushi place and Waitrose many years ago, I guess wishes do come true!

Really?! Opposite Marks?! monica Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Waitrose is opening up on Lordship lane, next door > to Superdrug. Its the old William hill store.

Most people have to use their cards to draw out cash, saves them doing that. DulwichFox, there is debit cards too, not just credit cards and if your pockets aren?t deep enough to carry a small piece of plastic, then you can?t carry cash or your door keys or your phone in your pockets either.

I prefer cashless as I rarely have cash. Most people are paid via the bank so I don?t see the issue with using a card?

What a great idea, I have shared on East Dulwich Mums on Facebook.

I?ll still be calling it the Dulwich Health Centre to family and friends.

I love the fireworks on NYE and the 5th November. It?s expected and we are mostly prepared for the onslaught of bangs/whizzes. 10pm is pretty late for very loud fireworks that I couldn?t even see, I?m near North Cross Road and it woke my child up because of how late, loud and unexpected it was.

Exactly this! It was the stupid o?clock that irked me. goldilocks Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Regardless of whether you loved it- 10pm is a > really antisocial time for fireworks to go off in > a residential area.

It?s a really stupid time to be super noisy.

I thought Guy Fawkes came early. It?s pretty late as well.

How utterly awful and terrifying.

Maybe he likes walking, keeps him fit. Maybe he doesn?t want people to know where he lives. Maybe he stops off somewhere on the way home. Anyway isn?t Nunhead Village posh and still SE15 and under Peckham Boundaries? Beside most people know of Peckham but not Nunhead so it?s easier just to say Peckham for those that don?t know.

I find the Fish and Chips at Sema and Emily?s grim. None of my family can eat it. We take a trip to Ken?s to pay a fortune for the fish and chips there. Still not the best compared to all the lovely fish and chips we consumed in Dorset but the best out of a bad bunch around here. Anyone tried the fish and chips at Saucy on LL?

Great....more pizza☹️.

Walk to Durlston Castle from Swanage near the pier. It?s about a twenty minutes or so scenic walk. You get to see Tilly Whim caves, The Globe, Castle and bay. It?s stunning. https://www.durlston.co.uk/ We also got an open top bus from outside Swanage Train Station and you get to go on the car ferry and take in views from Sandbanks, Studlands, Poole and Bournemouth. We also took a boat from Swanage Pier to Poole, got to see Old Harry?s Rock and lots of activities on water. Durdle Door is a must but wear proper walking boots as the incline going up and down to Durdle Door is a bit of a killer on the legs/feet.

Given that Prince Harry made a request for the media to be respectful towards Meghan when they were dating and he voiced his upset at the prejudiced comments made towards her, I don?t think that photo was appropriate. I doubt they would find it amusing given the abuse she has endured from trolls due to her mixed heritage. Thankfully a lot people seems to be in agreement that the post was made in bad taste (judging by most of the comments when the photo was posted)so that in itself is reassuring.

Put your food waste in the freezer when the bag is full and then transfer it to the brown food caddy the night before or in the morning. It?s stops the smells and won?t attract foxes etc.
