ED Yummy Mummies? What about the Tubby Hubbies ??!!


Recommended Posts

Oh, just saw this thread. Very amusing! But I have to say that even as a mummy (and I like to think I'm yummy... well I can wear my skinny jeans again anyway), I sometimes find the other mummies predatory and territorial!


I hope I never glower, and I always try to be welcoming. My daughter is very friendly too. If she sees you MrTwirly, she'll probably go out of her way to say hello (even though she is only 13 months). She's been known to cross entire cafes to pat strange men on the knees. (Hmm, let's hope she outgrows that before her teen years!) Anyhoo, if you want to borrow her and take the buggy on jaunt around the local cafes, you can have a blast running over peoples' toes whilst Little Saff blows raspberries.

ha ha . thats good . :))

I long ago gave up on attempting to have a coffee in any of the Dulwich cafes for the reasons listed by MrTwirly. My advice is to jump on a 176 to the Charing Cross Road and go to Caffe Vergnano - there's no wifi and no space for buggies and you will get one of the best coffees in town, a range of great pastries and snacks for less than you would pay in the Blue Mountain or Lucca....outside of the rush hour it's around a 20 minute journey and a small price to pay for retaining your sanity.....

...or try the cafes in the undercover bit of Brixton market; several at least as good as any around here. You won't see many YMs of ED there.


Or you could spend an hour in the Pavilion cafe in Dulwich Park. After that nothing else will seem quite so bad.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
