Hmm, my daughter always chooses the 'pirate' option in a pirates & princesses party. Her outfit consists of the following:


plain stripy t-shirt

big homemade skull and crossbones badge (cardboard, safety pin, sellotape)

homemade eye patch (cardboard, elastic)

bandana, tied round hair

jeans, rolled up

dastardly scar, using face paint


Cost = zero

I agree. All the above and I have also noticed lots of kids sporting 'mum's belt slung diagonally across shoulder and waist' when it is pirate day at school. Would not bother buying an outfit - although they are nice. Cut off scruffy jeans or trousers too.

ok, somewhat off topic but why on earth do we glorify pirates - effectively thieves who ransom and kill people? this pirate thing drives me nuts. and "princesses and pirates" parties - outrageous! i don't know what i will do when my son (3) starts being invited to them.

Get a fooking life ffs. It was Pirates day at DKH school nursery today. The kids had a great time singing songs and dressing up. As for gender stereotyping, I have never seen so many little girls with drawn on moustaches and beards.


I am totally gobsmacked. These are nursery age children having fun. That's all.


No wonder I want to leave East Dulwich!

    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
    • I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think 
    • Leon came to sort out a lighting issue for us last week.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear, detailed advice about how to avoid in future.  Would highly recommend him.
