Hello fairyuk27. I hope you're settling into the area. ED is a friendly area and like everywhere else caters for all tastes and opinions. However, if you find yourself meeting locals for the first time it may be wise to keep your views to yourself until you can gauge the opinions of the person you're talking to on the following areas of local contention:


Marks & Spencer/Waitrose versus Iceland/Co-op

Royal Wedding Street Parties

Local independent shops good value or too dear

Plastic bags

Dog Poo

Mums with children's buggies

Travellers parking on your street

Faith Schools

Whetherspoons pubs

Cars v cycling

Cultural differences between the Dulwich end of ED v Peckham end of ED

Late night opening and people being ill in your garden

Queuing up outside Purveyors of High Quality meat shops

First past the post versus AV voting


Depending on your views fairytuk27, within minutes you can be accused of fascism, nazism, racism, homophobia, being anti-scientific, anti-jewish, anti-poor and so on.


Welcome.

Welcome FairyUK - it's not always as fun as SiverFox makes it out to be, sometimes it can all workaday and rational.

    • I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.    
    • 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.          
    • 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.
