>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!)

    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
