You know you're in East Dulwich when...

[thejournalist]

Let me kick this off...

You find yourself queuing around the block for your local butchers.

[david_carnell]

...when tired, hackneyed cliches are recycled for the nth time.

Go to Sainsburys, much easier.

... those that have been on the forum for a while take the mickey out those that have just joined and are trying to participate :'(

That should read "You know you're NEW to East Dulwich when "You find yourself queuing around the block for

> your local butchers." instead of visiting the butchers opposite The Plough or popping along to Mr Sparkes' on NorthX Rd on a Saturday.

.. or getting told off by Allycat :-$

...you walk into Waitrose and start your shopping, sun is shining, your Prince Albert is clanking and you've parked your lovely shiny 4X4 in the....

Oh hang on... this is the Beckenham thread isn't it ?

NETTS:-S

[northlondoner]

When sly and reggie are banned from their peripatetic performances. Grrrr.

Oh yeah, and when strangers are kind to your loved ones - and each other. *blushes*

Oh yeah, and when the streets are festooned with dog shit. Grrrr.

Oh yeah, and when kind people return lost wallets intact. Hurrah!

Yummy Mummys look right through you when you collect your child from Primary School.

Preferably by car. Far simpler.

.and park in the selfish 'yummy mummy and brat' bays naturally

[woodrot]

retro thread bro'

[womanofdulwich]

You obsess about bottles of urine left in strange places.

[the-e-dealer]

Yes most people just get used to it?

[Inkmaiden]

...practically every thread on the forum contains the inevitable whining about "yummy mummies".

[????]

[Gingerbeer]

Are yummy mummys the same thing as MILFs?

[Loz]

Not quite. Yummy Mummies is what they (usually) delusionally call themselves. MILF status is bestowed by a third party.

[Salsaboy]

I think MILFs are a bit older.

I've often found it to be the other way round. Either term makes me want to stab myself in the eyes.

[ibilly99]

You have to pay 400k for a decent two bed garden flat - btw if anybody can prove me wrong tip me off as I've just discovered Jack's and it's awesome food !

[Razors]

. . . Forumites wetting themselves over the imminent opening of yet another eaterie/drinkerie in East Dulwich before they moan within a month or so about the noise/late hours/refuse/crime etc that the new place attracts and brings.

[Razors]

By the way - only so called Yummy Mummies call themselves yummy mummies! The ones I've seen around here are struggling to to regain their former 'glory'.

[Inkmaiden]

And I rest my case.

Plus MILFS are hotter. It's implicit in the name.
