...particularly as the games are only over one leg and the team's final position determines whether they play at home. So the team finishing second will always be at home and the team finishing fifth (Dulwich last year) will always be away.

Ha! Having attended many of them, I have to agree with you, taper. However, I've noticed that - in recent years anyway - this has tended to happen when they've started the season strongly with good placings in the table. This didn't happen this season and so am hoping that an alternative pattern (hopefully the reverse) is emerging...


*feeling excited*

So get knitting! ;-)

Finishing third is a great advantage because it would get Hamlet a home play off semi final, and just possibly a home final (if the 5th team wins at the 2nd in the semi). Let's all get there on Monday and help them home.


Worth mentioning also that Hamlet have following today's results (barring unrealistic goal difference swings in the last two games) qualified for the playoffs, though we could still finish as low as 5th. (This is because the 4th and 5th teams have yet to play each other, so can't both pass us.)

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
