Garymax, it took us a couple of years to work out the code too!


Our first year in ED, my daughter was too small to go trick or treating, but she was old enough to be excited at the thought of handing out sweets to other kids.

But being unfamiliar with current Halloween customs, we didn't have a pumpkin outside and no one rang the bell.

Cue one very disappointed child who wasn't mollified even by the thought that she could eat all the sweets herself!

Just been cleaned out by Dracula and his buddies - I offered the posse a jar with sweets in and some wrapped choc-biscuits little hands darted in and out with the expertise of Rio pick-pockets and left 'promising' to share everything equally. Happy Halloween!

We had lots of really SUPER POLITE middle class trick or treaters this year from about 5.30-8pm (which seems to be the unofficial curfew). They would only take one sweet despite us urging them otherwise. As a result we now have a dangerous chocolate surplus looking for a home.

The first lot of trick-or-treaters nearly gave me a heart attack... for some reason I was 100% sure it was my wife at the door. Anyway, after they'd finished laughing at me (fair enough really), I gave them some cakes, and they were very polite and well-behaved.


Didn't see any little scrotes around at all, although there were a few smashed-up pumpkins along Fenwick Rd.

      I-watch found

      By Yan52 · Posted

      I was sitting on the park bench yesterday opposite north Dulwich station and found an Apple Watch hanging off the corner. I have brought it home and charged it hoping that someone might use ‘find my’ to locate it. Equally happy to be contacted this way to return it to the rightful lender / they just need to say what colour/kind of strap it has. If you can think of a better way to return it / find its owner then please advise. And/or feel free to share on other local fora.

      Up the reform

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Precisely DR it’s entirely understandable to conclude one is so disillusioned by Labour for Tories, it must be time for someone else  That  is an entirely reasonable position But if the next step is to then transfer your vote to a party full of charlatans, snake oil salespeople and racists? Then  you stop being reasonable and start being thick and/or racist i understood why Tories took power in 2010. I feared it was an error but I wasn’t castigating people who voted for them tories (then, not now) and Labour are hamstrung not by civil service or EU but by a weird media and a weird voting system in an age of social media.  The answers don’t seem to be coming from them yet but voting reform will only damage the country internationally and internally  the Tories may yet regain power but are currently led by a madwoman, with a madman positioning himself to take over. Will take years for them to sort themselves out labour are making errors all over the shop but are at least in the ballpark of sane governanc.  In no way should this give them a free pass but in 2025 there genuinely isn’t anyone better  (and current polling for reform is meaningless - in any general election be it 4 years or 4 months their lack of accountability and standards will become all too clear)

      Cox's Walk new bridge damaged!

      > Or else it's a relatively thin trunk? Or a rather thick old trunk, covered in leaf growth?  Look at the damage caused to the end and right hand railings.  NewWave, any chance  of loading your neighbour's photo here?   Or anyone else with some good focused photos, from various viewpoints if possible?
