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.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
