Good old Harriet, she couldnt go to Morrisons in her own constituency could she? She had to come over to slightly better off ED to talk about this. Bless her. Louisa.

Highly recommend a walk around Dulwich Common area, and up around Cox's Walk and the woods. If the weather is nice there is nothing better, maybe even a drink in a few pubs (not the Grove though). Louisa.

I have to say that I have never felt unsafe anywhere south of East Dulwich Road. Barry Road is generally one of the nicest tree lined streets in the area and overall I have never once been a victim of crime so I cannot comment from that perspective, as others have said, these murders were not indiscriminate. Louisa.

Apparantly talking to staff members about "flexible working hours" - just come up on BBC London news. That was nice of her to visit us down here wasnt it? (td) Louisa.

Has to be Ayres in Nunhead, they have used the same recipe since 1955 and they are absolutely gorgeous. Louisa.

The wonderful Mr Darling is now predicting a 3% fall in economic output by the end of the year, this is a VERY revised figure on the previous estimate. I personally think that things are very bad and the low interest rates are masking a hell of a lot of problems which can only get worse before they get better. Some people, rightly so in my opinion, have kept their house prices at beginning/middle of 08' prices in the vein hope they sell and of course they are happy to hold out. This obviously wont help things in the longer term. Louisa.

'Something Fishy' on Lewisham high street is really very good. They also do traditional pie n' mash, but obviously this is a long way to go for a sit down meal. Ollie's in Herne Hill is good too, again a bit overpriced though just like Sea Cow IMO. Louisa.

I buy a variety but I find the finest range of farmhouse oameal batch one of the best, the multiseed is pretty damn lovely too. As for the white bread, well the tiger bread isnt just good value for money but it lasts and never falls to crumbs like it seems to do in rival supermarkets. I do like the fresh sandwich loaf too. Louisa.

I agree there, that place is disgusting and since Ahmet and co moved out 4 or 5 years ago it has been nothing but a complete failure. Louisa.

Tesco do the best bread of all the supermarkets. Sainsburys is crap, as is Asda, and Morrisons is hit and miss. As for Waitrose well, a working class girl just wouldnt know would she? Louisa.

Here we go again. Louisa.

MP that is probably why I always tend to give it a miss! Louisa.

I bought a house off the back end of that last recession and I can remember that the price had dropped substantially from the original figure. ED was not a desirable part of town back then and house prices if anything took more of a batering around here than they did in the more affluent parts of town. This downturn is indded a very different beast to pretty much any recession since the 'Great Depression' of the 1930's. Also bare in mind that we have come off a huge high this time and so the fall has been a hell of a lot steeper and considerably quicker than the last 'depression'. Louisa.

Horsebox lets just keep that innuendo cummin' thick and fast baby! >:D< Louisa.

macro sorry yeah, the most obvious add on was overlooked, forgive me feeling a little headie this evening, but the chateau neuf du papp is still going down a treat. :)-D Louisa.

Damn right we could Hona, lets also add the organicsausagerolleating-gastropubmunching-guardianreading-daffodilpicking-williamroseshopping bunch to the above list too! Louisa.

Those nasty evil gang members are currently laughing and joking at an EDF MEMBERS ONLY bash, whilst the rest of us poor bullied souls are forced to stay here being tormented by what they could potentially be saying. Louisa.

Not normal rats in London, f*cking cat sized ones!!! Louisa.

Not going to the forum drinks? Louisa.

I genuinely do not understand how anyone can honestly believe that this minor adjustment is anything but a skipped heartbeat. We have interest rates at the lowest level they have EVER been, the government has run out of tools to revive the economy and is now printing money in the vein hope that this may actually stimulate the economy, there is no evidence whatsoever that this is a guarantee, we are in unchartered territory here. Country after country is on the verge of bankruptcy, countries such as Ireland, Spain, Latvia, Hungary all very close to home - not to mention that biggest current casualty of all, Iceland! If anything we are not even in the centre of the storm yet, things will more than likely pick up pace towards the middle/end of the year and this could result in a terrible end to 2009. I have in my lifetime NEVER experienced such a huge crash as this in such a small timescale, make no mistake everyone, we are f*cked! Louisa.

Sean, I cant wait to prove you all wrong and jump on that plane to a nice safe sunny location, and leave behind this damp dull overcrowded island for somewhere where people actually have something known as 'quality of life' ... watch this space! Louisa.

lol bbw! :-) Sean, I tried to reason this one early on in the thread and dulwichdoll was just hanging on like a pitbull. I do not understand why dulwichdoll did not just read back through poppys previous contributions and from that realise that some of the folks on here may well have a point. Oh well. Louisa.
