Know of one in Devon expecting pups towards end of year. PM me

Here we go again….

Your point being what? Kids in face masks all in black? Being going on in ED for years.. wake up, gangs are around or is this first time you have been aware.. No doubt your hubby walked away - probably ran when he felt safe..

So why did you not do or say anything and made a point of saying black - since you did nothing why underline your whole message..

Head Nun - bet you had shoes on - now if you had said I did it barefoot that is different….

For clarity, since the heat seems to be getting to people - my friends in Hampshire, Essex, Cornwall tell me that the same insanity is happening there - probably in other counties to! I have in the past seen adults walking last year with young children with no hat or to the best of my knowledge suns-cream on and idiots in Dulwich Park allowing their children or who knows maybe it is the au pair or nanny taking the kids to the park when it is over 30 degrees.. I rest my case - doesn’t matter if you have 4 feet or 2 - 4 feet suffer more as generally have a coat and no protection on their feet / 2 feet at least have foot protection. Like I said, I am just joining the conversation - everyone has a right to their own opinion. For all you know or anyone, if a person has taken a dump might have been unwell, couldn’t find toilet in time.. numerous reasons - mental health problems, homeless whatever. Not pleasant I agree, but get a pair of rubber gloves and deal with it. We all live in the same community and in this heat with kids about, would have thought plus flies etc - do it if you live on the same street or area / people just walk past I assume and god knows how long council would take to come. Says nothing about human nature - not my problem… seems to be the way of the world in towns these days.

What is wrong with calling a dog a woofer?

Other people have also commented -

Well if it was that obvious, post would not still be continuing!!

Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong.. Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out. And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering. Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.

Count yourselves lucky you are not Mitcham /Croydon way - according to news, hundred of homes without water. Can’t believe a company of this size are so inefficient or have so few staff. Criminal when you think of countries without alot of water or how far people walk to get water and yet here in west or UK in particular we just let it run away in torrents…

You allowed to sublet let under terms of lease?

All you are doing if that was to happen is diverting car drivers into or onto side roads. I am a car driver but hardly use b my car st all when zi am in ED - buses and train is so convenient and reliable. Having said that, not pleasant in heat with sweaty people, bo etc but that is life. Without doubt my breathing is worse when I am in London -Dockland and canary wharf is bearable and fresher. Not even with inhaler does it get sny better

Pm you

Personally, I would withhold money / unacceptable all round. Everywhere you look in London, something dug up byTW - well not literally everywhere but you know what I mean

Totally agree with Alice…. Pity they can’t come to Northcross for those that find it difficult to venture to Peckham but then stall holders would complain. Excellent, as has been for years, fruit & veg stall in Herne Hill Market on the corner away from main entrance ie Brockwell. Comes all the way from Kent if memory serves me well, great prices to considering distance travelled / nothing like small mortgage of East Dulwich and Herne Hill like ED has been gentrified over the years. Much much better market than the offerings of North Cross Road…

In the country, where I have relocated to these things and dealing with council for all matters are dealt with in days… freely admit less population than london. Certainly faster in everything. Not surprised at all about Thames Water - remember years ago calling them about a leak in road - then it took a week for them to come out, despite daily calls from me. Disgusting at that time the lack of concern and wastage of water. Unbelievable that they are not held to account fir anything and that goes for Southwark Council as well.

I have taken to not using my phone on pavements in London period.. feel very vulnerable around ED anyhow as am alot slower with walking these days. When you-think about it, surely we can all last until get to cafe, hospital, train station, shop, etc without this overwhelming need to see/check phone! Bus times are usually accurate when you tip up and never long to wait for buses anyhow. I use my phone alot during the day for various reasons but, trying to not use it is the real test. I have found that you can always ask someone who, generally happy to accommodate. Lanyard that Sue has suggested - good idea but still phone is visible in this heat I would have thought, assuming she wars it round her neck so personally, think it is worse as bikers, gangs etc can just rip it off as they pass.

Brings back memories

Totally responsible - going to be worse for woofers tomorrow

Ignorant owners / since ED is now full of middle class yuppies, yes very rude but I care not… one would hope that they would not drag their darling little kiddies out to the shops in the heat in case of heat stroke etc so why in gods name do they think it is acceptable to take their dogs out? If this is not ignorance or indeed cruelty, then please enlighten me….

I thought there was only one Dulwich Library and that is on Lordship Lane/ Court Lane. Is there another one? If so since when?

You may have more success posting on ED facebook….personally, not a fan of social media but where I have moved to in the country, this seems to be the main way of communication. A suggestion for you - well a couple actually - there is a cafe at the edge if Telegraph Hill which might be worth a shot with a pizza stand attached - from memory think it is called White Rabbit or something like that. Cafe has odd evenings when they have music as well. Not sure if you are to young but give them a go. Get some leaflets/cards done and pop through letterbox or on car windscreen in local area offering your services to clean cars… sure you have done this already. Wish you all the best.

Thank you so much for this - really appreciate it.

Can anyone tell me please, do they have a variety of veggie options or fish? thank you in advance - moved, so just wanted to check & menu is not big enough for me to enlarge or read.. think they do..
