OK, so there's a new kid on the block, BUT lets be honest the East Dulwich Forum is the original, best and has most activity on a day to day basis in comparison to any other local forum.


Admin - you do a great job and thanks for maintaining and keeping this forum running so successfully, which is at the centre of the local community.

Thank you, it is appreciated. The other one has been set up by a cleaning company (unhappy at not being able to advertise on here), who then posted various posts pretending to be different people saying how great the new site is. I won't link to it as it's rubbish.

Are you sure it's been set up by a cleaning company and not by those notorious ex ED pub owners of "crushed and devalued" fame?

Hello,


I'm the creator of "the dulwich forum.com" (banned link on this site so here is the redirect- removed) This website was created because the Admin of the East Dulwich Forum deleted my 5,000+ viewed post of my business for writing on the main section about Admin contacting me to sponsor the forum again as i did over the Christmas period when my business first started.


Admin i think that's slightly rude to say that it is rubbish as it has more features like follow, upload videos, no image restrictions, works on mobile devices and has light moderation...


As a business woman i was forced to then create my own platform as the main one had rejected me, but not only that it was created for the local community to use as another platform.

Yes i agree that the East Dulwich Forum is a fantastic centre of the community and i do not doubt that. I am not trying to discredit it at all.


We have had lovely feedback from the Beckenham forum. Its a shame the East Dulwich Forum cannot support this local hub one bit.

No, the new kid on the block is difficult to navigate around, does not seem to be joined up and IMO is a rubbish site, I won't be using it for one.


ps Dulwich does not need another site, it has two already, East and West. And what was the point of creating a Dulwich site, oh, I'm taking my ball with me because I can't play with you. REALLY.

I dread to think what the first version of this sentence was. I still can't make much sense of it after you have had three more goes.


Anyway, enough of accusing Admin here of being rude. You're the one cheekily seeking free publicity for a directly competing service. You wouldn't hand out Peckhamplex flyers in the Picturehouse lobby, would you? Now go and find some common courtesy, and look up how to use full stops and commas while you're at it.


Crack on Admin, the site is still going strong for a reason.

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
