>I?m an out borough type and I had to write a test to prove my East Dulwichness before I was granted residency.


It included having to have a remedial knowledge of East Dulwich Rhyming Slang terms like: Goose Green Fair ? Au pair.


As in, I?ve sent the goose down the crocs (socks and crocs ? shops) with the rigs (3 wheeled rig ? kid) so that I can go down 197 (197 ? Peckham) for a foxton?s (foxton?s fear ? beer) with my williams (William rose steak ?mate).


Anyone else? No? just me?


I?ll get my coat then.

Laughed at Brendan's post. :)) Has this been done before apart from Brendan? I remember that 3 letter acronym thing.


How about...


Meet you at the EDT Lager Lout ... Goose Green Roundabout


Rock Steady Eddie ... East Dulwich Deli


'Goose' is au pair (see above). 'Sent the goose down to the farmers market' ... Sent the au pair down to Somerfield (summer-field - that's a particularly bad one!)

    • Yet another reason why all supermarkets should be thrown down the pit. Along with all their lies and horrid carparks. And their disgraceful treatment and terrible conditioning of their underpaid slaves. And their horrible antisocial robots who no one can even talk to, which also make their slaves even cheaper. Get rid.   X
    • What are our rights here? An item on the shelf has a price tag and next to it a discounted price if you have a club loyalty card or whatever, the expiry date for the offer is a few days in the future. Clearly you expect to be charged the discounted price because you have a loyalty card. You get to the staffed till, scan your card but the discount for the item in question has not been honoured and you've been charged full price. You tell the staff member but they go ignorant and insist the price is the full price without the discount. You go to point out the label on the shelf but they just ignore it. It was traditional to be charged the price shown on the shelf regardless and then up to the shop to correct it there and then, they don't do that now they just call you a liar. I made a complaint online and was told it was not a staff issue, staff are employed as robots nowadays and self-appointed security guards especially in the express stores. I was told next time to go detective and take photos of all the evidence so feedback can be sent to management. That's more work that what the discount is, what a joke.
    • To me, it seems the survey asks questions about ease of understanding of the SPD rather than consulting the public on opinions on the content... What's the best way of objecting to this change in guidelines? Anyone who has been to any of the consultation events and can provide an update on this?
