* Public service announcement *


Please excuse the interruption but I recently had to clean out the forum's database as it was 10Gb in size, to do this I had to remove all images that were over a year old. That's why old images are no longer appearing but the database is now only 3Gb in size so the forum's less likely to fall over because of it. A small price to pay but sorry the original images aren't at the start of this thread.

> Or pay the server costs on admin's behalf?


I did divvy up on the last request for a server upgrade (perhaps you were not around at the time), I've paid for a banner advert on the EDF, and made a donation for each one off advert.


I notee your priorities for the EDF. Silly pictures of interest to a few rather than material such as the photos uploaded by computedshorty.


I understand you are leaving East Dulwich soon.

Forum got to function though ain't it.


Plus a forum like this isn't exactly designed to be a useful reference for anything much.


I agree, set up a website or a blog and talk to computedshorty to get access to his treasure trove.


If you'd like advice on how or even help I'd be happy to do so.


Do it quick, I'm leaving East Dulwich...well, actually I left 9 years ago, but I'm leaving for further afield in a couple of months.


Not sure D_C is is he?

I have previously donated to the forum although I wasn't aware this was a contest on the depths of our wallets. Especially given I'm not the one complaining about anything I've posted being removed.


And if you want to wage battle on our respective interests then I'm happy to front up against your endless campaign of postcode and geographic pedantry.


Not for the first time, your sources are innaccurate. I'm not going anywhere to the best of my knowledge although as I live nr Bellenden Road I'm unsure if I've ever actually lived in East Dulwich. If only there was someone who could tell me?


I was merely pointing out that your persistent gloom and tetchy aside at the thought that some of your historic map pictures may be being removed to allow the forum to remain functional was uncalled for. And that if you were that interested in preserving them for public viewing, perhaps a personal blog might suit your needs.

At the EDF's Meet Your Favourite Poster drinks night, everyone's illusions of HonaB being a Wildean, louche, bohemian man-about-town, complete with wide brimmed hat and flowing cape, are shattered when he turns out to be a trainspotter called Bert living in a bedsit in Penge...

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
