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!

    • Thanks for the response and to some who PM’d me. I’m now included on the Patient Participation Group (meeting next in Dec) so I’m going to feed back the comments here, good and bad. Update today to PPG members is that, as some of you have said, there is a new contact in place with GP practices with effect from 1 Oct. That appears to be the driver for some of the changes we’ve seen at The Gardens. From the responses here, though, patients might be getting an inconsistent message from the Surgery; I was definitely told that appointments must be made through the app, and only the app. It was only when I expressed concern that a strictly online service would not be suitable for all, that I was told by the receptionist that she could complete the request for me (or others if needed). Even then, then patients would need to await a text from the Practice. Perhaps we are just teething problems with the new provision…Happy to bring any and all comments to the PPG meeting (although I’m aware that the most digitally-excluded people probably aren’t on EDF!) Thanks folks.
    • Hi everyone! For the past 12 years, we’ve been turning 27 Oglander Road into a spooky Halloween stop for all the trick-or-treaters — and this year it’s going to be our biggest and scariest one yet👻🎃 Expect creepy decorations, surprises, and even a few hide-and-seek prizes for the brave ones who dare to look 👀 We’ll be set up from 5:00pm to 9:00pm on Thursday 31st October, so come by if you fancy a fright and some Halloween fun! 🕸️ Everyone’s welcome — kids, grown-ups, and ghouls alike!
    • Went to a fireworks display maybe 20 years ago at the Crystal Palace, it wasn't bonfire night, can't remember why it was being held, Capital Radio were there. There were people hanging from a crane, classical music, and quiet fireworks,  It was lovely, still dramatic with the colours but no loud bangs. Not sure why this hasn't become the norm.
