The thinly veiled 'other people in ED are stupid' idea being mooted in here is in turns amusing and daft. If they'll eat over-priced curry what else will they do, drink tea in a chandelier shop!?! ap

Mrs Paul and her friend were asked to sit upstairs as they weren't eating even though the place wasn't all that busy. As for the prices, I don't think tea and cakes are a good reason for re-mortgaging. ap

big what?

I'm setting up a magazine advertising absolutely nothing to estate gannets, restaurant owners, beauty therapists and childrens party organisers in the hope that I put their brains so for out of whack that they melt. But before I do that, does anyone know what the actual circulation of LS is? Last time I checked they said 55K could that include the huge piles stacked up in agents offices? ap

My bed has two perfectly functioning sides thank you. I must admit I do have history on this issue. I was a magazine designer so am very opinionated. Also I've have placed ads in unLiving South. Before I did so I asked around and through my ad-hoc market research discovered that no-one really looks at it beyond the property section. But I wanted to test it, after all my research was loose and I was hopeful. The return was pathetic. It could be that the ads were no good but I honestly don't think that was the case. To make matters worse there was absolutely no after-sales-care from Archant the owning company. It's my understanding that publishers nurture advertisers so as to ensure future spending - unless the publisher knows that advertiser won't want to come back. This is why I think mags like that could go under quite easily. Once advertisers realise they're wasting money they stop and if enough of them do so at roughly the same time it reaches a tipping point et viola! End of magazine. ap

I'm sure it's a shame for those who've lost out but I won't miss Dulwich Life for a second. With so many of it's 'stories' being feebly constructed advertorials, laughably praising some quite undeserving local businesses. Easy, I won't go there Mr Admin. It's no surprise it didn't survive, publications do need to be about more than feeble middle class angst, oneness classes and where the clueless might eat next Saturday night. Does this mean we can be rid of unLiving South too? Please oh please publishing Gods, smite them with declining readership and becoming favoured as arse wipe material. Also, on a more constructive note, I can't help thinking this forum might have made DL an irrelevance. ap

not expecting this to help but 'duck' when applied to people makes me feel wrong. my aunt and her over made-up hair face and having to kiss her cheek goodbye during death throes of bland family gatherings. 'goodbye ducky' she'd say brushing her pale and dusty side-of-face onto me. yuk etc. oh, and the cloak eats numpty offal. ap

Someone who turns up in a here stating his wife thinks KEEF is numpty and that he wants to know who the biggest sausage is, is in all probability a numpty and a sausage himself. For me a numpty is someone who has misfortune befall them with no understanding of why or how to mitigate the problem. A sauasge is a far more cheerful state of being, normally sounds best prefixed by 'you old', a term of pork endearment. ap

An penetrating question that is. The answer has to be no, for now. ap

'turd polishing', as in to make that which is sh!te appear golden.

Sorry, I meant the force. Yoda n that.

LostThePlot, the power station energy issue is all about what gets wasted. About 2/3 of the energy created by burning coal disappears up the chimney, making it an incredibly wasteful method for producing electricity. This energy can be captured and kind of recycled but energy businesses are not prioritising that as it costs and the govt. hasn't legislated to force them. E-on, of the recent funny windy advert fame are seeking to build a massive old fashioned power station in Kent. Mockney, that coat hanger trick caused climate change. Do it again and reverse the force, please. ap

Am doing lots of agreeing here. Legislate against bad manufacturing practices and in some cases take the choice away from the consumer where choice equates with wasting energy and materials. Our government is far to beholden to business and has simply got to shake that off or humanity and life on earth is over already. Come on Mr Brown! ap

How do ghosts in the park get grouped for study with beings from another world? Comparing apples with pears if ever there was. If that's sane then I think the war in Iraq is related to the fact the McDonalds have medium, large and extra large but no small. Oh, and as for time travel. Where are they then? ap

Twinned with West Dulwich The home of rail fear

to be fair it was only twice in five years which should make me incredibly fearful of all things Letchworth. But I like mockney. Can't square that, maybe The Daily Fail can help with such dilemmas. ap

home of getting beaten up as i remember it.

Being forced off a train to Letchworth by life, now that's a Mail story if ever there was.

Damn, I'd better get that motorbike out of my living room too. And thanks ClareC, just ordered 1 tonne of Daily Hail approved cotton wool. It's an amazing product, designed specifically to protect against cuts from broken shards of commemorative Diana plates. Mockney, when what time comes?

Louisa has shown me the light. I'm staying in. Forever.

It seems that perspective might be the first casualty of reading The Mail.

I don't think it's about politics Sean, it's about finance. That it seems to be about politics is The Mail's big lie. They would say anything about anyone, past, present or future if it sold papers. ap

Ballast for the flight?
