yes




oh maybe not. Are you saying The Same Things are cheaper elsewhere? Or that Things for Sale are cheaper at other markets?


If I pie a pie off the pie lady on NCR, am I paying more than someone selling The SAME pie at Camden, or are we comparing it to a Ginsters?

You are saying "it" again Ridgeley, I'm just not sure what "it" is


Excatly which prices for what things are rocketing because we live in ED?


I'm glad you know where to shop but not sure what your point is. I tried giving an example in my previous post but you haven't answered it so...

NCR market is where newlyweds take their visiting in-laws to fill the awkward hour between a walk round the park and lunch in the Palmerston. Never has so much fudge been bought as an aid to conversation.


It's either that or queueing at William Rose - "Mum, Dad, I know you're not happy about me living in South London with an upstart graphic designer called Josh, but look at our fab butchers where we can buy a nice leg of lamb for lunch!"

For those of us who are old and still remember the orignal NX Rd market in the 1950/1960s and to some extent the early re-emergence of the market in early 90s, todays market is beyond my ( and most others of my age) price brackets. I have purchased meat from the organic stall and also fish from the van, once purchased a small loaf of rye and carraway seed bread, other than that everything else is too pricey. I have a professional salary, kids all grown up so in theory I can afford a little more, but a large part of ED retailers are beyong my means.


If anyone remembers the old NX market - please let me know for our local history post 1945 exhibition

In my previous post, I explained I dislike the fact that the markets within East Dulwich charge extremely high prices for their item even though of the same value and worth compared to Camden for say. An example of this, I'd bought a leather satchel from a stall outside 'Post Mark' And The lady charged me ?55.00 pounds as It's vintage but In Camden where I'd been shopping I found the exact design and quality for ?35.00 , the only difference was the colour. So I'd been Ripped off because of my postcode !:X

It's fine if you like unrefridgerated sausage resembling a condom full of gristle toe-nails and beaks.


You are paying for the Stall holders in their starched white aprons and straw hats,

trying to mimmick some French/Belgium Square. Can't you just here the Carillon, and the pigeons escaping from the

bell tower as the bells peal out.


(I am getting all romantic now)


Can you smell the burning Pig.


Cheese.? No. It's supposed to look mouldy. That's why it is so expensive.

Simmer down Andrew.

You didn't get 'ripped off'.

If I can get This right, you bought a Bag in Dulwich for the agreed price of ?55.00, with Which you are well Pleased, I reckon.

Then you See another Bag in Camden exactly the same (though it is Vintage?) just a Completely different coLour.

wHat colour, was it by the way?


Different bAgs. Different post codes.


But Andrew, in the end you got your Satchel and I reckon it was The one you wanted.

All along, the SE22 one. Go on you Know you did.

Not the postcode that was wrong - if you're unhappy with your purchase it's because you made the wrong decision. Postcodes don't decide.

Exactly Andrew, Marmora Man said what I wanted to say but for reasons of slight drunkeness and general arsing about I thought (if indeed thought there was) that I'd have a bit of a giggle.


Sod it though Andrew, you bloody listen to Marmora Man, he knows of what he speaks and he's a proper grown-up, which you can't say about some of the thirty-five year olds on here.


Seriously.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
