As a child it was a pain - it was too close too Christmas. I used to get annoyed with people giving me one big present for Christmas and Birthday together, I didnt have anything to open on my Birthday, which for a child is a big thing; I think it is better to give two smaller presents in such circumstances.


Nowadays, its great. I have no desperate wish to have extravagant celebrations and there is always a party on somewhere.


I dont think I have ever experienced new year's eve in ED as such. I do quite like the foreign city experience.

I'm glad to hear that everyone is already making plans for NYE, I normally leave it to the last minute, but always land up doing something great.

Although this year i'm working NYE night, so i'll not be drinking and having fun, but I'll be thinking of you at the CPT, The EDT, The Sun and Doves or anywhere else you may find yourself, whether you are wearing black tie, fancy dress or not a lot. Here's hoping it's your best NY ever.


I won't be envying your hangovers Jan 1st!!!

How about the forumites with kids, what shall we do?

We are going to be in London for the ifrst time in years.

The forumite with the biggest house could host the party, all the kids shoved in a room with food and games and the adults can then get busy with the disco dancin' etc.

who's going to volunteer?

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse
