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!

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
