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?

St Barnabas Parish Hall is in the Village. I liked living 'that side'....no satellite dishes, no ugly extensions on the houses- a much nicer appearance altogether (except for the revolting plantation blinds)

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

The northern boundary of St Stephen's parish (South Dulwich) may assist this discussion.

Foxy said "247 Mtres" (I said "a couple of hundred")

Foxy, you're splitting hairs there, man!

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.

Only on the EDF would a harmless thread about not being able to get a pint of milk on a High Street end up with arguments over the local parish boundaries....

[edhistory]

TheCat:

Do you think we should restore beating the bounds (using the 2017 boundary)?

Mr Lewis Schaffer has done this for Nunhead but I don't know with how much traction.

An extremely astute observation- please expand

[DulwichFox]

I think we should consider ourselves lucky that the EU hasn't banned milk being sold in Pints.

From today, my 2400W Morphy Richards Vacuum cleaner has been banned.

Only in the sense that you can't buy a new one, Foxy. Nothing to stop you using it!

[KrackersMaracas]

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.

More EU interference, can see why people wanted out, whether that was right or wrong, we're feeling the consequences now. In Europe they think the UK is mad to be leaving.

There's many in the UK think we're mad for leaving

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?
