>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!)

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
