1896 OS map shows the thoroughfare today called Dulwich Village was called High Street then. Bit of late Victorian / Edwardian rebranding to differentiate it from the not quite so upper class East Dulwich?

So happy to hear I'm not the only one who hates those bloody shutters ...

Wasn't being critical but as YOU have brought this to light you actually said

'St B is only a couple of hundred meters (if that)


In fact (according to Google Maps) it is 247 Mtrs. More than 200mtrs


So I was NOT splitting hairs.

An extremely astute observation- please expand

I know this is off topic but I couldn't resist.....What's been banned is the sale of new stocks of hoovers that produce more noise and heat than suction...how is that a bad thing? A lot of manufacturers spend time making products "sound" more big and powerful than they actually are - meaning the machine costs more to run as it's less efficient and uses more energy!


Turning now to finding milk in DV - I remember when I first moved I went down to the village as I had heard so much about it....I thought I was completely lost, and asked a passer by where all the high street shops were - they directed me back to East Dulwich!

Not entirely true. Apart from the Power issue (Energy) there is also an issue of how loud it is.

But as I do not live in a flat above someone, no one is going to complain.

No it is entirely true, there is a ban on new sales of machines over 900 watts and 80 decibels being sold (once stocks are exhausted), there is no ban on using them in any way, shape or form.

They have. They do now make you buy 568ml instead. And I bet you that stays after Brexit, because it was actually the UK government that did that.


Maybe we should exit the UK, to get away from all the needless bureaucracy.


At least Australia rounded it up to a more sensible 600ml when they changed to metric.

Why do you call it interference? Isn't it a good thing?

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
