See this thread. -

Adventure bar - East Dulwich (Lounged when no longer about same)

CH My father and others of his peer group took great delight in deliberately mis-pronouncing French words and English words of French derivation. I don't know why. I can imagine the three local estate agents (Martin & Co, White Dent, Burnet Ware) who dealt in these properties in the last quarter of the nineteenth century inducted the arrivistes into the correct pronunciation of their new street names. Then something "went wrong".

Has the housing market in ED reached its bottom yet?

> Sounds like that interest rate cut isn't as unlikely as some people thought.... Interest rate cut, sterling falls, the 60% of food we import increases in price, household budgets squeezed, housing more unaffordable, house prices and rents fall. But not in East Dulwich. -

I don't think my pensioner friends who are council tenants would like the idea that the shouldn't have their homes for the rest of their lives.

I know it as Wait-lee, but I remember some old folk in the 1950s calling it Wait-tell-lee.
