Social Faux Pas in ED - the definitive list

[Atticus]

'Squatters have rights too you know!'

[henryb]

"Do you have any white sliced bread?"

[Atticus]

'I prefer to think of East Dulwich as South Peckham'

[Otta]

I wish Threshers hadn't closed down.

Boss Man is definitely the best place for a bottle of plonk, on The Lane.

What this area needs, is a good curry house.

Foxons? Now that is a stylish looking shop front!

[KidKruger]

Do you have red Sauvignon Cabernet ?

So nice to have other cultures living in our area.

Yes, East Dulwich is the Sante Fe of London.

Cyclists interfere with traffic a lot in East Dulwich, always getting in the way, pesky and unnecessary.

3 years eh ? Well I'VE live here for 8 years, before 'it all changed', you know.

People around here are right up their own @rses about east Dulwich aren't they ?

"I dont like the rye lane because its too African - doesnt everyone think this?"

" I took the Guardian for years, but it was only when I came to terms with how I really view things, was I able to buy the Mail and be comfortable with it"

" ?5 for a plate of 6 fuckin Olives ? did you see me coming or what? "

" I dont care if you like Coldplay and Goldfrapp - they should be humanely killed and their bodies left for the foxes to eat. take that shit off right fucking now"

" A week in a Yurt in Somerset - this is a joke right ?"

" Yes, I will buy a copy of your Socialist worker - though I may not agree with your politics, I am always willing to consider new viewpoints and engage in lively discussion"

"It was great when they came across as cheap labour and house prices were rising by the hour but now theyve built my extension I wish Cameron would send them all back"

" What do you mean" Dont touch the bread"?, if you expect me to pay 2.50 for a bastard baguette, then get used to it."

" Mmmmm, I never tire of pannetone at Xmas"

" How do you look at yourself each morning, knowing you sell useless trinkets to rich victims with niothing better to dio with their lives."

" You know what, I get this awful feeling that the traders on the North Cross Road are openly laughing as us when we buy their goods"

[maxxi]

Are there any REAL pubs around here?

[Jeremy]

We chose the Audi because it shows people that we have money, while being less ostentatious than a BMW.

Peroni tastes just like any other generic euro-lager, I resent paying ?4+ for a pint of it.

I miss The Foresters - ?3.50 for nuggets & chips, and a pint. And you could have a game of pool.

[Guest]

When the police station finally closes what we REALLY need is a Poundland.

I don't believe in breastfeeding.

When my daughter grows up I hope she becomes a hairdresser.

You're insane if you think I'm going to pay that much for a small bag of fudge that's been melting in the sun on North Cross Road all day. And exactly how is that related to Somerset?

"What are you mad? Go out as a family down Lordship Lane on a Saturday with the baby in the pram and the other two on their scooters, to all the little shops and then go for a coffee. Why the %+$@ doesn't one of us just stay at home with the kids while the other does that, it's more enjoyable for us, the kids and everyone else in Dulwich."

"A light and bitter, a pint of mild and half a shandy for the wife please."

"Tea, strong, four sugars please."

"Yeah he's going to go in the building game when he leaves school"

"A copy of The Sun and 20 Regal please"

"Fancy going down to see the Wall on Saturday?"

[Annette Curtain]

" Actually, I post as ______ on the E.D.F "

" No, never heard of the E.D.F "

" E.D.F, isn't that a power company ? "

"I refuse to pay less than ?20 for tea and a slice of cake"

[huncamunca]

" imagine our relief when the School confirmed he was not Gifted or Talented - now he can get on and enjoy his childhood & not play some role as a proxy for our own vapid, insecure, materialistic and selfish ambitions"

"Homeopathy - what utter toss"

"You are indeed correct - It was selfish and stupid of me to park on the Zig Zag lines at 08.50 AM. In future I shall either walk the children to school or drop them off a little further away , where I will not put other children at risk."

[Otta]

I wouldn't mention it to my friends, but really, the housing stock in pretty much every surrounding area, is nicer than that of ED.
