appeal to the East dulwich bag song writer

[monica]

To the very talented guy who wrote the song about the East Dulwich bag thank you. its blooming great, we loved it i play at work all the time we have it on the SNUB website and i have sent the link to Rob De Bank at radio 1 a local of East Dulwich,who heard it and asked me to send him the link. We want you to sing at the fair, Leon the DJ has downloaded to disc to play at the fair but we want you to play live and take credit for your great work. So please Mr East Dulwich bag song man reveal your identity and sing for your public(In East Dulwich) and SNUB will buy you a pint at the EDT tent.( Enough plugs for the fair i know)

[Nero]

Cd you post the link here, pls? Nero

[Curmudgeon]

I think this is a great idea and one that has totally passed me by until I saw a SNUB bag over a bicycle outside Mrs Robinson this morning

I am late to the game I'll admit but was wondering if you had considered and rejected being called SNUBed rather than ED SNUB (which seems to make sense to me)

[Huguenot]

Is this the link you wanted to ED SNUB? Right Here

[Curmudgeon]

I'd be interested in a plain, adult style bag with just ED SNUB (or SNUBed) on it ... I'm slightly put off by the "child's drawing" concept if I'm honest

bah humbug

[Keef]

I know what you're saying, and would agree for myself. Sure there will be plenty of takers though, and it was a nice idea to involve the local yutes.

[*Bob*]

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but I did wander past Keef a few weeks ago and he was humming this exact tune. He was coming out of the CPT, looked a bit the worse for wear and was mumbling something about getting a kebab and going home to 'lay down some tracks'.

[Ladygooner]

Where can I buy this bag from?

[Mark]

if you want to hear the tune click here

it was created by the Suburban Pirate, "the voice of middle class angst"

[mightyroar]

that is a very good song

[karter]

I heard the song today and its bloody brilliant.

Just shows what a special area ED is....

[monica]

The East Dulwich cloth bag is free to all se22 residents,letters will be going out to ED residents regarding the distribution of the bag. We are currently working on the bags and the design which will have the logo of the winner,who will be announced at the fair Next saturday. We are called East Dulwich SNUB because there are SNUBS all over the uk. We have a Edinburugh SNUB a wales SNUB Chester SNUB, so we are East Dulwich SNUB.

Thanks for all the posts but where is the Phantom song writer of the East Dulwich Bag we have had it on at work and customers have stopped to listen and have a sing along.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Oh - can't we ED supporters who lurk on the outskirts have one too, please?

The despatch of letters negates the ecological benefit of the bags?

Could Joni Mitchell be the songwriter that you are looking for? - Matthews Southern Comfort version

Oh dear. The main reason of the bags is so people don't use plastic bags, the benefit of a letter (on recycled paper) informing people of how they can get a SNUB bag outweighs the negative effect. The door-to-door delivery of these letters by Jumbo 747 however may be a cause for concern.

If you have concerns about the negative impact of letters may I suggest focus your attention on the prolific postings of a recently opened estate agent rather than on a local environmental scheme.

> Oh dear.

Assertions not data.

It seems that ?14,000 of public money has been allocated to this project. I regard it as proper to have financial transparency.

Our local sorting office is overloaded. I'm not sure I welcome a further backlog of letters.

umm, Sooty not Sweep?

I see the Suburban Pirate has a Podcast, look it up on iTunes and you can hear his song about Robin of Dulwich too.

Or possibly this chappy? :))

Thanks for the support guys, I need it at the moment. The conservatory is only half built ( I should have used that hard working Polish lot), Olivia has broken her little toe at ballet and I've a nasty feeling the wife is having an affair with the local tennis pro. If it all gets nasty I can always turn 'East Dulwich Bag' into a woman-hating diatribe.

East Dulwich Bag

Hy Just to clarify,letters will be hand delivered we wont be using the postal service,so we wont be wasting money on stamps. The transparancy will be broken down because this project is funded by public money and unlike our intelligent chancellor we will spend the money wisely.

The fair has raised money on sponsorship,in which after costs of the fair are met the rest of the money will go into future green projects for East Dulwich.

Any questions?

[madmanhoagy]

Any1 know when the next suburban pirate song comes out?

A christmas 1 maybe?

[macroban]

I thought that should be "ne1".

[Curmudgeon]

Please can I beg you to give us a choice over our SNUB bag?

one with the winning Goodrich child's drawing on it

and one with just an ED SNUB logo

please?

What will William Rose Butchers do now with their over priced canvas bags?

The letter footprint can be offset by collecting them all and carefully sewing them into kaftans and sandals
