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?

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
