Hi Michel - perhaps I can help with some key facts.



*The Forum was founded in 1803, by Casper Diddlecott and Barnaby Lemon, two Mormons from Penge - with the help of their fourteen wives.


*During The Great War an entire online generation of young men were lost and - after much deliberation - it was decided that women would be allowed to join. But on 12th March 1919, the day of admission, twenty-six consecutive posts about menstruation and Grazia caused outrage amongst the established male readership - and they were forced to act. 'The Family Room' was duly opened on 13th March 1919.


*There are only 500 registered users, and those on the waiting list must wait for someone to leave before they are allowed in.


*The oldest poster is Sir Keith of Otta, who is 119.


*The Forum is currently funded entirely by Foxtons estate agent, following a misunderstanding with the previous sponsor, Osbald Stennart.



Hope this has all been of some help!!!!! !

    • 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
    • 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.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
