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 am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
