LOL so true, however in North Cross Road, I have to battle over 20 baby prams and pregnant woman everywhere.

The message clearly is to 'shop around'. Yes there's a market in EDF that caters to or takes advantage of (depending on how you look at it) ED's yuppy/ yummy mummy/ middle class residents. But there are plenty of other shops near enough that cater to other demographic groups.


What I would say though is that the middle classes do forget sometimes that ED is not just for them, that there is a diverse community across the area and that local shops, events, services etc should reflect that.


Businesses on the other hand, are there to make money and so naturally will target those likely to pay most for what they offer. But it is annoying when something like the Cafe in Rye Park is too expensive for the majority of people who use the park to go to.


I quite like Northcross Road market being there, but shop elsewhere because prefer better value when spending money. But do also like the diversity of ED and it's residents.

'It Ain't What You Do It's The Way That You Do It', I can't hear the flat mooing voices of all concerned without being pierced to my very soul.

Every perfectly judged guitar solo in a WHAM song makes me writhe in torment, while pluckily acknowledging that I lost out to a better man.

And the solo LP 'Son Of Albert', and no I didn't have to look it up. A unique. So it was.


But Jody Watley was the most amiable of taxi companions, I'd recommend her to anyone who's taken a knacker kicking.

I like the market.


The fudge is delicious, the cakes are delicious and the food at the stall which sells things like fishcakes and salads is delicious.


Those French salami things are really nice as well.


I couldn't afford to buy things like this all the time, but I really like having them there as an occasional Saturday treat.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
