Maybe she has a point.A kind of economic social cleansing has gone on in the area. It is reflected on this forum, in the posts and for those who remember the area pre-Yuppy, it is bound to rankle. Anyway your witch hunt has worked... "I'm going to scream, and scream, and scream till beastly Louisa goes away...Nanny!"

My sister has just been up to visit , and had a lovely evening out at Le Chandelier. She said its beautifully done out, and had a great atmosphere.

I thought I have written to the admin people before, but I don't think I got a response. Surely I am entitled to have my details removed from the site, if I request it? I will try again. Thanks I do appreciate any constructive advice (? and not the smug, snide,caustic mean spirited variety,which is exactly the reason I dislike this site so much!)

Can anyone tell me how to escape this site? I would like to "unsubscribe". Its OK for buying,selling and advertising an event,but beyond that - questionable! So if anyone knows how to remove details from the EDF database, please let me know. Thanks

?and if it had been a genuine accident I would've understood, but this was caused by someone's arrogant,reckless, and stupid behaviour, which was followed up by a hollow apology,and no desire to take any responsibility.

Having had a few months to explore on the forum I have decided I really don't like it. Why isn't it an easier to change details/unsubscribe?

?oh and incidentally. He was about 20 I'd say. Dark hair, around 5'10" Maroon sweatshirt,jeans, skateboard with a yellow top. Bet he's having a right laugh about it!

Did you actually witness this whole event? I was the individual involved, and yes I was incensed at the man's reckless and irresponsible behaviour..I was extremely luck not to be more seriously injured (and unlucky only to have third party insurance!) I was on the main road and fortunately not going very fast when i saw the skateboarder out in front going fast right down the centre of the road. My initial reaction was "he's crazy to do this, and he's not wearing a helmet, he could do himself an injury" not thinking that he might hurt someone else. He lost control of the board and it careered into my path, and no, I wasn't close to him otherwise he might've been injured?luckily for him he just hurt someone else. DRsmith?have you ever come off a motorbike? I was extremely lucky that nothing was right behind me , or coming towards me. I was in a state of disbelief and shock?plus my bike was damaged. Yes the man was there when I was helped up, but when I suggested that he might have been responsible, he said he didn't have any insurance, and didn't have to pay, and while he'd give me his name, he wasn't prepared to give me his address. How would you have felt .Would you have said "Gosh that was a close one eh! Never you mind laddie, off you tootle..don't you worry,hope it doesn't put you off skateboarding like that in future.Don't worry just a few cuts and bruises...I'll pay for the damage? and I'm sure they won't mind me being late for work"??? Give over mate. He was in the wrong, and he knew it at the time, but thanks to people like you he might now think otherwise. I'd like to say I hope it happens to you?see how you feel, but I wouldn't wish it on any one (except maybe the skateboarder)

East Dulwich has changed so much recently it might just as well be renamed New Clapham . So don't worry, you should feel well at home.

It would appear that if you oppose the local tube station idea, you are described as "selfish." Well the arguments for a tube, as seen i've seen here, are equally as selfish.

Overheard in my local curry house. Man boasting to manager how he'd moved into the area, and made a large sum on his house, and now wanted to move back North because; "I don't want my kids speaking with a cockney accent" Nice!

Totally with you ????. You get used to it. Its part of the character of this area, its why it isn't quite so frenetic or built up. It also helped make people more locally focussed in their activities. Besides,the trains and buses are more frequent now. There has been speculation for years, but I guess now that the Affluents have discovered South East London, its more likely to happen.Shame if it does.

Believe me Louisa, you are not alone. I know lots of locals who will agree with you. I think you are also up against people who have a culture of Entitlement. Hang in there!

I can certainly see what Mr Liddle is saying? Dulwich Village however has always been "Posh" but East Dulwich/Peckham nah! Anyone who has lived here more than 10 years will I'm sure will agree that the area has become quickly gentrified,inundated with young, affluent types..and all that follows on from that. While I'm glad the area hasn't gotten run down, the type of community is one I am beginning to feel I don't quite belong to anymore. I'm sorry Louisa, but you are on a hiding to nothing trying to debate this issue on the East Dulwich Forum?its lifeblood is the kind of people you are talking about! And Silvia, I have top say that is one of the most unpleasantly snobbish things i've read in a long time,wherever you come from!
