Can I say hi? Been a while since I posted, but I do very occasionally still have a read, and do the odd bit of moderating duty for my sins, all the way from New Zealand.


I first registered June 2007, was a pretty avid user for 9.5 years, until we moved away at the end of 2016. Made many friends, sold lots of stuff, had many a laugh over the years.

Hope all well in NZ Pickle. I haven't lifted a squash racket since your departure!


All about the fly fishing for me now - and we had a baby boy - Jock.

Hello Pickle,

I hope you are all loving your new life. My mum missed you and your lovely children.

I?ve stolen your threader Sema, she missed you too.

I was on the forum for well over 10 years I think. Happy days, most of the time! Am still mortified by my Sainsbury's avocado thread! 😱! And I still cherish my face to face meeting with Strafer Jack (also no longer here) in the Palmerston - it was quite emotional and uplifting. I Continue to follow you all but have moved to the South Shropshire Hills and set up a B&B. It's beautiful here but I still miss ED/Peckham borders though don't regret move. In fact I always maintain that nearby Ludlow is like ED in the country! And yes, I am still editing my posts - old habits die hard...

A B&B, you need to post the link. Will there be smashed avocado on sourdough bread for breakfast? Prefer Waitrose?s avocado but I?ll make do with Sainsbury?s.

Me, 10/01/08 which was the day we moved to ED... I?ve mainly been in the Family Room for the last 5 years though. Love the EDF but am particularly grateful for the amazing friends I?ve made from 2 lots of Winter Babies threads which means I went from knowing no-one in the area to bumping into people all the time (and some good nights out)!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
