I thought the purpose of a forum was to air your opinion about local 'stuff', spread some words of wisdom. Educate people. Forgive me here, but I have an opinion you and others disagree with, so we discuss it. Isn't that my right? You may not agree with me, but you have no right to tell me not to have that opinion.


The 'local economy', as you put it, contains various long standing businesses, the vast majority of whom do not even make trendy newspaper articles about the next hip area of London to live in. By all means buy your cheese whenever you like, but seriously, standing outside and queueing for it on such an obviously busy day of the year as Christmas Eve is about as decadent in its unashamed indiscreet nature, as one could possibly get!


Unlike some of the sheep on here who have agreeable opinions on everything, like minded to the extreme, I choose to have my own opinions. Why does this bother you so? I think people nowadays are too quick to not express an opinion in case it hits home, which let's face it, on here it does. SOME of those offended by my 'look at me' observations are in fact guilty of this behaviour themselves, hence the disproportionate level of offence taken. Anyway, happy new year to everyone.


Louisa.

Lou


You've become a sad parody of yourself


People are offended because you're offensive


Whichever version of 'how you see it' you post, it's the same boring 'me clever/you stupid' stuff.


And you ask 'why does it bother you so?' I wonder why you don't ask yourself the same question.


Leave people alone, they work hard, let them be.

Seabag,


How can someone possibly be offended at an observation about buying cheese? Surely only those who partake in said activity could possibly be the ones offended. Lots of people insinuate I'm a lonely alcoholic, now that's offensive, but I don't choose to take offence because I know it's not true! People only take offence when the cap fits. It's not about me being right and them being wrong, it's about my observation of what I believe to be a peculiar activity. As I said, buy your cheese whenever and wherever you like, none of my business! But others have on this thread already agreed with my observation so it can't be entirely unjustified? I let people be, they just choose to take offence when I'm not even talking about them? Bizarre.


Louisa.

You know and I know and everyone else knows what you're digging at people about. It's your same old 'me clever/them stupid'. It's boring class wars in some tedious trope of endless digging and undermining of what you perceive as the fight against something you don't like or get.


It's got boring, but you keep at it, because you get off on it.


Clap clap, sad, bravo.


Next?

So if it's none of your business, why do you spend so much of your time slagging off people who don't shop/behave the way you claim to?


It's boring, tedious and offensive.


Why don't you find some other forum to voice your views, and give us all a rest?


ETA: And who else on the thread has agreed with you, apart from the person who seems to agree with you on everything?

Don't fall for that - always slam the phone down first :)


Although pressing the end button just isn't the same as slamming an old analogue phone down on its stand :(

Never used the carpet shop but have reluctantly stopped using Health Matters as for some reason they rarely seem friendly. Got a bit weary of feeling like I'm being talked down to, lectured or reprimanded. Get enough of that at work, thank you.

I've never gone back to the carpet shop since they sold me a bit of Axminster and it was terrible in a fondue.


(Just kidding - they've been perfectly nice and helpful to me the two times I went in. And I'm a surly old git to begin with).

Have you not had a similar experience in the past?

If so... why go back? ::o

I understand the new cheese shop is to have a moisture / humidity controlled environment, a bit like Neal's Yard Dairy in Borough (but slightly more advanced) which is pretty special.


It will be a unique cheese emporium of some standing, owned and run by a local resident.


What's not to like (unless you're the guy from another cheese shop nearby)


I like cheese!

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
