Baggs

There is a regular training route for this kind of police operation that runs down Old Kent Road through Dulwich, often with empty cars.

I will also be going to the event at SOAS in September @Alec John Moore. Looks like a good line up.

Maybe the incident @Dulwichlad850 describes is a separate incident in which these serial young offenders picked on a woman who reacted in a more heated fashion? Sounds like it wasn't a one off volley of abuse the little tikes were spewing. Absolutely no need to question the testimony of Mrs Dadof4.

I read Sue's response as trying to be friendly (the smiley emoticon gave me this impression) and I didn't read it as an attack of you Foxy, but more as a comment that it is good to have a mix of people. Those who are loyal to their locals and those that try the new openings, move about, or like different things on different days. Local businesses need both of these types of people to grow, thrive and hopefully survive. It's a shame you feel like it was an attack on you (I understand why you might, I've seen plenty of unwaranted negativity towards you on the Forum) but in this case I do think you have overblown the comment to feel unfairly judged. Sue, If I am misrepresenting your intentions then I am happy to stand corrected. Dulwich Fox, keep your head high and do what you do, drink where you want, and eat where you want. Try not to read everything as a 'knock' most of us appreciate your input.

Missed opportunity for brilliant 'bite your hand off' pun.

I imagine the Ice Cream place is working hard to get the cash machine moved. It makes their patio look a little ill judged at the moment.

If Picturehouse charged ?5 then you very soon wouldn't have a cinema in East Dulwich. Cinemas are expensive. They are also expensive to run, and the margins on films are tight. The margins on popcorn and drinks are huge, and this is where Cinemas make the money. Picturehouse add a bar, restaurant and the regular stream of membership income to this and therefore can offer a slightly wider variety of films - not just those that rely on a popcorn-guzzling blockbuster crowd. The PeckhamPlex is an outlier for ticket prices, not worth comparing anything to it. They too make their margins on the food and drink. By getting lots of people in the door they sell more of it. I imagine their rent per/m2 is also very low for a cinema. Their projection is fairly shoddy - and imagine they therefore don't have to pay back as much in VPF as a more expensive 4K projection system in use at picturehouse.

In Ice Cream the Mafia still rules.

Anything is one, if you're brave enough.

It could be described as 'ingredient led' in that the menu is defined by quality of available ingredients rather than by a theme, concept or country of cuisine.

Similar position to you and looking at Croydon. Parts are, despite the reputation, very pleasant places to live and there are a few flats within your budget available I would think...

Good response Louisa. Most of what Giles Coren writes is also tongue in cheek, and mostly just a long intro to a final line pay off - I wouldn't take it too seriously, even if it does touch a nerve. People see value in different things. I don't see Iceland as providing bargains, although I admit it is cheap. It is a shame that local businesses are disappearing, but great to see new local businesses emerging. No-one wants a homogenised high-street on LL, no-one wants another Clapham, but that doesn't mean we should shit on anything new.

What did you to piss off Giles Coren Louisa? He has had a right go at you in TimeOut... http://now-here-this.timeout.com/2015/01/20/giles-coren-they-are-determined-to-keep-london-shitty/?DCMP=OTC-cid=com-coren

You do not address the very pressing issue of the sticky gate at St John's. This is an issue both ON PEAK and OFF PEAK and therefore your solution looks completely half-baked. If you don't have anything useful to say, don't say anything useful at all - or so my mother used to tell me. I propose perhaps a traffic light system at the roundabout end and permanent closure of the St John's gate would solve the problem. The path will only be accessible by those capable of leaping over the fence thus reducing the problem caused by inconsiderate parents, the elderly and infirm, and heavy-dog dog walkers.

When banks are open there is the option to go inside and use the ATMs that are in the building.

Is that the I am Kloot tribute band se22cat? ;)

And another use. Tasty... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/25/opinion/25redzepi.html?_r=0

I have used uber at 5am isn and there were cars within 10mins at that time. I would give yourselves 10-15mins to be safe but my bet is that you would be OK.

A good first effort your lordship, if the aim was helping me to "lose my shit". Apologies if the following sounds like a rant but your cute little ditty has twisted my pants. Hipsters and buggies are ruining this place. In 1994 you could see the odd face without piercings or beards or something else shifty and we once had an average age of near fifty. These new-folk rattle on about progress and change but this gentrification is downright deranged. 20 years later and what have we got? Another f*ckin' italian in the mexican's old spot. Cheese on toast, it's the same old story, you'll find a much healthier meal in the Dulwich Tandoori if you have space for dessert go to kebab and wine Five pounds of your hard earned and nutritionally fine. A post-prandial drink in the Cherry Tree would be ill-advised if you're asking me The staff are brutes and the place is doomed lets hope wetherspoons revives it with microwave food. etc.

Recently had a reworking of this dish at Magdalen - it's a dream dish that any "foodie" worth their Maldon would laud.
