I think i've figured out the village curse


It's the name 'Dulwich' as in Dulwich Village


The 'Dul' bit is a bit "Dull" as it were


So I propose they remove "Dul" and go for the following re-brand.


Wich Village

Village of the damned


It says what it is on the tin. It could even be an ironic T-Shirt or a mug to be sold in Pizza Express or Shepperd's.


They could have a Barbara Hepworth sculpture on that shit roundabout in the shape of a giant question mark. And a ribbon strapline underneath saying "Welcome to Which Village. Now fcuk off back to where you're from as the food's just as crap here"


We could also play stupid mind games with the American tourists who regularly stop us in the streets

( adorned with massive cameras and maps of course )


"Hey buddy" they say


"Where can I find Which Vill-age"


"Which Village" you say


" Which Village is it you talk of ? "


Then, sell them some crack or seamed stockings to take home to their sweethearts.



Really, it's all very possible.


NETTE:-S

I think - as the pronunciation is Dul-itch that Itch Village would be more accurate.


Itch is usually defined as a sensation causing the desire to scratch but it is also true that Itch has resisted many attempts to classify it as any one type of sensory experience. (Wiki).


So we have it. A village that refuses to be classified as having only one annoying property and yet causes pimp and parson, sinner and saint, to feel uncomfortable and desire to be shot of it.


In contrast East Dulwich, West Dulwich etc. (or following Nette's nullifying of 'Dul') are preferable. Who wouldn't tolerate an East or West Itch rather than one smack bang in the Village?

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
