Sean, it is summer, which means people will be away various weekends, but that just happens to be weekend i am around. Happy to consider other dates though not around on Sunday 12th Aug (or, sadly on the 10th for forum drinks - part of reason for this suggestion)


Jah - non-competitive was ironic. Show me a football, or a frisbee, or a finishing line and i'm well up for it.

I'll already be in the park having a picnic that day as the 29th's my birthday - come over and say hi - we might be up for frisbee or bit of rounder's if you fancied it.


While on this subject though, i'd like to pick to forum's brains....was thinking of having my picnic near-ish the playground (as there'll be several little 'un's about) but does anyone have any other suggestions of where in the park is especially good for picnicing??

buggie - too many areas to suggest. Depends on the picnicers and how much shade/sun they like but the trees near the far side of the pond is my preferred spot


citizen - wasn't knocking the suggested date - just remembering the reason for moving forum drinks. Plus I'm just jealous as I'm away ( I THINK it's that weekend.. lemme check)

Buggie, there are loads of good spots for a picnic in Dul Park. One of my favourites is in the American Garden which is on the path leading from the swings towards Firemans Alley it's a quieter spot and very lovely, but if you or your friends don't know the park well it can be tough to find.


I'd probably suggest somewhere on the grass area in front of the Pavilion cafe for the Forum picnic simply because it's so central and easy to find. Can be busy and somewhat exposed but there is some shade available if we pitch up by the trees and bushes. There is also plenty of space for games. The area Sean suggests, under the trees far side of pond has the advavtage of a few picnic tables.

Sean, I thought you were away on the weekend of the 4/5th Aug which is one reason the drinks were moved from the 3rd to the 10th so hope you are around on the 29th July.

OK, so as it stands this little beano is set for Sunday 29th July in Dulwich Park from 3pm. We'll be somewhere on the grass area in front of the Pavilion Cafe, hopefully near the line of trees and shrubs. There will be me, Mrs C and our little two-year old. all welcome, see you there...

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.

      The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again!
