One of the corner shops (at Blenheim road I think) has a popcorn popper that makes fantastic popcorn. Buttery, salty movie kind, not that sweet stuff. ?1 a bag.


Also Brockwell Park has a horse. He's lovely and friendly. No idea what his story is but I love that he's there.

i read this thread with interest as i'm going to head down to the market on sunday (been meaning to go since we moved here a wee while back).

someone mentioned "the best persian shop" - i'd be interested to know where this is/what it's called?

i often head down rye lane and pick up fruit and veg but am somewhat nervous of going into the other food shops, becauase i'm scared i'll make an idiot of myself buying/asking for the wrong thing! (my bad, not the fault of the shops'!) i am pretty unfamiliar with the international cuisine that seems to be represented on rye lane (west indian & middle eastern to name just two) so any personal reccs would be hugely appreciated :)

by the way - while hunting for more details, i came across the wondeful looking blog (have only scanned it as am supposed to be working) - http://helengraves.co.uk/ - full of tips of eateries and food shops roundabout (including persopolis).

you may already know it (in fact it might be one of you that writes it :)) but thought i'd pass it on just in case.

I'm quite liking the Peckham Tip at the moment



We've been going out down in the Bellenden Road area lately. There's a nice friendly crowd down there & the legendary Meat Wagon pitches up regularly, It's not unusual to meet people who come from North london just to try his burgers. I've also discovered some niche businesses, up-cycle furniture makers & such like.

So is it better than East Dulwich ? I don't think you can compare really, I'm just glad they complement each other. I like the creative Village-y feel in & around the Bellenden Road , the housing stock is quietly grand & diverse communities live side by side . I do also enjoy the variety & scope in the Lordship lane area too, we are spoilt for choice I'd say


Long may it continue



W**F


( I will check the market out )

There is also, TV shows like Desmond?s and Fools and Horses some episode of the Sweeny that as put Peckham on the map I agree with Djkillaqueen Peckham has some shops as well as Brixton and Camden for me has other shops I like Dulwich does not have all the shops I need there is a slight snobbery towards Peckham. People like that need to get out more and get a life :)

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
