What about a day of pram spotting in East Dulwich? She'll need one I presume. You can take a notepad and pencil which can be purchased fairly cheaply for jotting down the brands. To make it even more fun you could each give them star ratings secretly and compare notes at the end of the day.

Don't joke, I spent an afternoon tallying wheel numbers of buggies with retired poster Sean McGabhann once on a very sunny weekday afternoon outside the EDT.


After an initial; flurry of three wheelers it turned out that your common-or-garden 4 wheel buggies outnumbered the loathed three-wheelers by about four to one.


Once again, I'll get my coat....

I wondered about that, but it's ?73 for the weekend of 22 June if you buy a single each way. Cheaper than driving and possibly quicker on a Friday evening. Quite tempted myself.

    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • 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.
