Own a pice of East Dulwich VHS Video Rental History-Free


Recommended Posts

Anyone remember Video Film Hire?

Video Rental shop on Lordship Lane?

Near the roundabout opposite EDT?


I do years ago as a kid, waiting on Saturdays for them to open up in the morning to pick up a tape or two for the weekend, the days of block buster video ect, a gone eara but well remembered. Place closed years and years back.


Well I was horrified that when I found these in a huge bin in Harfield Gardens estate a year or two back, 100's of tapes in there, but I noticed there in the bundle, knowing these are ex-rentals, and found the actual Video Film Hire 'take home with you with the tape inside' box, was so elated to see this again after like 20ish years ago, so fought I'd save the ex-rentals (most or quite a lot of these) and the take them home and save from landfill.


Most of them are kung fu movies, and to be honest not my cup of tea to watch, but sure the good people here, someone would like to have, so thought be nice gesture to offer these back here on the ETF first to those who may want to enjoy and worship once more. Or I'll Freecycle if not taken.


Please see pics.


I will keep the 'take home with you' box but will photo copy, and/or email a high res scan if you like, I may even put on here next day or so.


So own a piece of video rental history of East Dulwich!


please pm me, all to be taken at once, would need fairly large box/bag. Collection only please. Would prefer a VHS enthusiast ect to take. Condition unknown but sure most would be ok to play again. I have not watched any of these/or played them. They come in condition as I found them. I've only watched some of these titles by using other formats.


Free to collect and take away! :)

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
