I don't know if anyone has noticed lately that there is an uncontrolled influx of Dutch people moving into East Dulwich! What if they start selling more cheese? The recent great cheesefire of Dulwich was a disaster that caused severe traffic congestions for hours!
During the unfortunate recent events, several wheels of high-quality dutch Milner cheese were lost which is why we have released a statement, inviting anyone with relations to the Dutch to move to East Dulwich in order to meet the growing demand of cheese in East Dulwich. We also had not foreseen the impact of our actions and we will continue to monitor the situation while posting regular updates on our website.

that's strange, i havent seen anyone wearing a funny hat or clogs ;)

The 2001 UK Census recorded 40,438 Dutch-born people residing in the UK.


The number of foreign-born residents in England and Wales has risen by nearly three million since 2001 to 7.5 million people, That means about one in eight - 13% - of residents were born outside the UK.


They do not all live in East Dulwich

The Dutch are amazing..

They drink lots of beer and remain friendly.

Below a Small section of the Maastrict Carnival.


With a Huge main square and 2 smaller ones the streets are packed with 10's x 1,000's of people for 3 days.

There is a Pub/Bar for every 200 head of population.

Holland were playing Jamaica so we decided to fly over (mental day!). What a ball! Not even particularly liking footie much, it was great fun - almost everyone was wearing the colours and all the pubs were decorated.

    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
