No ,I mean ye-s


Really it's bonkers


However, having spent pre-christmas in Iceland ( country not the shop ) I feel we're way behind the curve.


Each night, for I think 21 days, the parents have to set up a different "event"


Essentially Santa has 21 helpers and ( you guessed it ) one visits each night.


The only one I can remembers is a naughty "skiir" ( yoghurt ) thief


And a sausage thief. Basically the parents smear "skiir" on the kids shoes or leave a sausage near the door, to show they've visited, the kids go mad in the morning.


Mind you, everyone's gone mad by christmas.


20 hours of darkness a day is enough to test the mettle of most people.


Makes Bjork look relatively well balanced, considering.



What the fekk am I on about ?

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
