Hi everyone, I'm writing a listicle for a London publication with the title 'you know you grew up in East Dulwich when...'


So far I have:


You know that the best view of London can be found from Dawson?s Heights field or Nunhead reservoir


You supported Dulwich Hamlet FC before they were cool


You've probably lied about being from Peckham at least once


You bought all your gifts at either ED or Willow on Lordship Lane


Interested to hear your suggestions!

I think that can be extended to the whole of London......

You remember when Woolworths were in the building where Foxtons now occupy.


When North Cross Road market was famed for getting cheap items and operated during the week.


When there were at least 3 or 4 butchers in the lane.


When you got money from the office licence for bringing back empty pop bottles.


When there were corner shops on most corners.

I've read this a few times Rendel... but no. Nothing.

When: you got chucked in Peckham Rye Pond, went to the R Whites Disco, when your expectant friends skipped boroughs for their delivery to get a better location on their paperwork, when you went swimming at the baths then undone it all with chips over the road. When people in East Dulwich, leave "east" out, like they are in the posh bit! When you could drive all through the back turnings "outlander rd".

    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets. 
    • What mandatory action would then be required of them?
    • Probably will be mandatory once Digital ID comes in.    They can then use the cameras on the tills too to bring all sorts of other useful ancillary controls, such as limiting how much alcohol you buy each week, or monitoring and limiting the carbon footprint of the food you buy (some foods now are already showing the CO2 emissions consumed in producing them).
    • At present several large retailers such as Co-op, Tesco, Waitrose, John Lewis, and Next use a cloud-based facial recognition system that gives instant alerts to the entry on the premises of known shoplifters.  Around £19 million incidents of retail theft (some with attacks on staff) occur ever year in the UK amounting in value to £2.6 Billion in value, involving 41,000 known offenders. Shoplifting adds to the retailer's costs and this is passed on eventually to honest shoppers, isn't there a case for F.R. to become mandatory at all retailers?
