There was a thread last year which set out how Foxtons would find it difficult to manage its operational costs in 2008. This investigation might, eventually, add to Foxtons' current difficulties.

I'm pretty sure that Southwark Council was generous in giving advance notice to potential violators before starting implementing spot fines for littering smokers. The Council's Strategic Plan envisages increasing revenue from "charges" so perhaps the next step will be fining those who flick ash on the pavement. For the particular case of this thread a defence may be possible if the butt was dropped within Somerfield's curtilage and not on the public pavement.

Excellent newspaper cutting, Benjaminty, but I suspect both parts were written by a woman because in real life men are not that smart.

One of the improvements to East Dulwich since I was a youngster is the major increase in the number and availability of well-heeled, eligible, and unattached (or only loosely attached) young men. In recent months on the few times I have been walking on Lordship Lane on Friday and Saturday evenings I have noticed the visiting hunting packs of out of East Dulwich young women.

I may be a few months out of date on this one, EDDW, see this reference..

S'ucks has financial problenms and has cut back its expansion plans for 2008.

> Popalopagus Very, very good. How neat can you get? Bravo, dulwichmum!

A few months ago the Sea Cadets were still with us in their SE22 base, but, having been with us since before World War Two, were now having financial difficulties. One for Mamora Man to support?

Pleased you noticed the missing accute (which rather supports my analysis). Whatever. It is a very nice snack bar.

Do you mean caffs? Perhaps it's better to stick to the English term "snack bar" to avoid solecisms?

Grammar looks OK to me as a contraction of cafeterias.

This adjacent group of small businesses in Lordship Lane has received a disproportionate amount of flak from the East Dulwich Forum: 3 - Ralon Stationers 5 - Headnizm 7 - Green Cuisine Cookshop 9 - Lordship Dry Cleaners 11 - Dulwich Hi-Fi Station Coincidence or agenda?

It's an attractive little snack bar in Bellenden Village. When it opened I misread and thought it was a little cabbage.

Wrong call, Admin? Perhaps it should be in the residential property section?

I wonder if this investigation will be coming our way.

A visiting cat for cat-loving East Dulwich. Smart move.

[Thinking of the Livesey] Does Southwark Council intend to close the (existing) Grove Vale Library ~before~ the putative replacement opens on the site of the East Dulwich Garden Centre?

> ED "nick-nack shops" - > 1988 Target Arms > 2008 Oliver Bonas An interesting observation. Is there anything earlier than 1988?

> Mrs TP bought my sister some nice presents for her > birthday from the OB in Islington. My sister loved > them. Everyone was happy. That's what many of us said about wedding presents. Wedding presents were a precursor of the current fad for recycling.

Looks like a possible investment opportunity. The Co-op might be grateful to receive an offer for the premises and close the store. One for karter?

Admin have the capability to conduct an EDF poll.

Yes, the Dulwich Estate started to regenerate after the coming of the railways. Prior to that both Dulwich (and then then not named) East Dulwich did market gardening and dairy for the Metropolis. On "The Dulwich Experiment"; it came as a surprise that the LCC bought 90% of the Dulwich College places for scholarships. At current prices of annual fees >?12k this was a major expenditure. It does explain why, in the 1950s and 1960s, quite a few East Dulwich boys from lowly families attended Dulwich College.

> imagine the village grew as a result of the schools News to King Edgar in 963AD!

I blame the French.
