Congratulations to the Black Cherry, officially the Best Bar in East Dulwich 2006 as voted by you, the users of the East Dulwich Forum. Look out for the trophy in The Black Cherry in a week or so after it's been engraved. Hopefully they'll be overwhelmed and will put it pride of place somewhere prominent. Thanks to all of you for taking part, there wouldn't have been a result without you. So once again, congratulations to The Black Cherry on Lordship Lane, officially The Best Bar in East Dulwich 2006

I see the EDT has a blackboard outside saying they offer free, wireless internet access

Thanks for the update James, please keep us posted on any other developments. By all means if you get someone independent to recommend you I can certainly put you on the Business Page. Please get them to email us at the forum directly (click the link at the bottom of this page) or post it in this http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/list.php?9 section of the site. Thanks again, Mark

Bruce Am I right in thinking you're refering to this junction: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=534414&Y=175473&A=Y&Z=1? Can you expand on "kamikaze manouvers needed to turn right"? I thought there was a right turn lane already...

I'm more than willing to hear a decent, intellegent persuasive reason, but saying "get over it!" does not persuade.

Kind words Gaz, thanks. We noticed the new lights (that haven't been turned on yet) on Adys Road last night on the way back from the Gowlett, they're the silver Triffid like ones aren't they? In geek speak they use silver halide gas so therefore give off the white light rather than the old sodium ones that cast a yellow glow. And yes it's part of the 10 year Bellenden renewal project. It would be nice for East Dulwich to have it's own unique, designed street lights with white light (not yellow) that don't shine up into the sky and cause unnecessary light pollution.

Four of us had Sunday Lunch in the Green yesterday. http://www.greenbar.co.uk/index2.htm I really liked the food, it's not a huge amount but it was well cooked and satisfying. I had a smoked fish starter followed by the Lamb with seasonal vegetables (2 courses ?12.95). Sorry I'm not the sort of person who can go on about the fine aromas of the slowly cooked meat whose flavours trickled through the roasted honey coated roast parsnips, but I can say it was good food and good ambience. If my folks came up to visit I would probably take them to The Green for Sunday Lunch, it has a more panach? than a pub. Sunday Lunch essential check: They do have a selection of newspapers on the bar and a comfy sofa. I would say the staff need a bit of people interaction training but don't let that put you off. Bridget re. you question about a quiet place, I would say that inside at the front of the Green, where we sat, was nice and quiet although slightly chilly with the doors open. Out the back was extremely popular with families (i.e. busy) so avoid that if you want peace.

There was nothing in the consultation about the Council actually wanting to do specific things, they were just asking the locals their opinions and suggestions about Goose Green. I've attached the questionaire to this message for you to see. I know some of the suggestions from the public were: Reducing the number of pointless dog bins Changing the horrible green fence that cuts through the middle to something more in-keeping Putting a hedge around the inside of the outer fence

I've been to the Magdela on a Sunday and it is a good larf, especially the Play your Cards Right bit at the end. ?2 each and you get sausage and chips with it. Nice. Does anyone know what days the other quizzes happen on?

You read my mind Nic! I'm thinking of taking chatter off and replacing it with an events section (like has been mentioned before) but I'm still searching for a calendar that can plug into this Phorum without too much requirement for being a techie. In the meantime I might put the "5 latest posts" on the homepage to fill the space.

I received this today, not particularly interesting, it just says that the council are looking at the responses and in a month we'll see the results. I guess there must have been thousands of responses for them to justify calling in an independent Data Analysis company for 2-3 weeks work! From Southwark Council 3rd October 2006 Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you very much for your input to the consultation on Goose Green. Both the response rate and quality of responses were very good. The responses have been sent to an independent Data Analysis company and we are expecting the results back in 2-3 weeks. Jon Sheaff, Parks Manager, will be reporting findings to Members in due course. At the beginning of November I will put up posters around the Green and playground indicating where and when you can view the Consultation results. Any actions to be proposed as a result of this survey will be communicated to you in due course. Regards, Ursula Allison Parks Community Outreach Officer, Environment and Leisure, Chatelaine House, 186 Walworth Road, London SE17 1JJ Tel: 020 75250707 [email protected]

On the home page, next to each topic, you should now see the RSS link, I hope it works ok, let me know...

Thought I'd might as well ask the horse... -----Original Message----- To: M&S Retail Customer Services Subject: Marks and Spencer in East Dulwich? Hi Please could you tell me if M&S are going to be opening a branch in London's East Dulwich, SE22? I live there and rumours are floating around that you are to open a store, so I though I would ask you directly... many thanks Mark Dear Mark, Thank you for your email. We are unable to confirm details of a new store in this location. Until a store has been signed off by our development team we cannot provide further details. Regards DAVID LESLIE Marks & Spencer, Retail Customer Service Telephone: 0845 302 1234 E-mail: [email protected]

83 Lordship lane: The proposed operation will predominantly trade ?take-away? in addition to offering a small restaurant seating approximately 6-9 covers. The applicant is the ?Bombay Bicycle Club? chain which offer Indian cuisine. The proposed use opening hours are 5pm to 11pm, 7 days a week. Home delivery is proposed, with 3 mopeds serving this unit. It's got permission to have 3 delivery scooters, hurrah! I was just thinking it's about time another food place opened up round here;) You can see the full application here (PDF): http://www.southwark.gov.uk/Uploads/FILE_22175.pdf#search=%2283%20lordship%20lane%22

I'm still trying to find a suitable calendar that can 'plug in' to this forum so that people can enter their own events onto it. Progress is slow so if you see one that'll be suitable, please let me know cheers Mark

What's happening at Walsh Glazing? Is M&S moving in?

Hmmm, looks likes someone got a spray can for their birthday and decided to show off its contents. Southwark Council will remove tagging/graffiti from your property if you sign a disclaimer, ring 7525 2000 and ask (I'm not sure which department it is)

Thanks Adam, any help in promoting/contributing/helping with this site is greatly appreciated. Haircut, my girlfriend cuts mine so I can't recommend a hairdressers locally but I've heard that Willis B on Lordship Lane is pretty good

Why? It doesn't seem fair that women can have their own swim for an hour and a half on Thursday evenings, so the entire evening is off limits to men. Or am I missing something? The official line is "Fusion aims to make its services and facilities accessible to all including those from different ethnic backgrounds and religious beliefs. The female only environment is set up to cater for this." I still don't think it's fair.
