benjaminty - it took this thread to make you think meeting us at a drink was ok? tchaa ;-)


I haven't mentions Val's grocer because I've done it a million times on other threads but I'm really glad lozzyloz has... it's not so much the shop, or the stock... it's all down to Nisha for me. Although they have a couple of younger guys working in there who have recently started and are very sweet - just need to come out of their shells a bit


(Loz: is Val from Val's the proprietor or something - or did you mean Nisha? - just curious because I don't know anyone elses name in there)

I've always assumed the guy with the moustache was Mr Nisha but I don't know his name - I'm going to ask about the whole situation next time I go in (I can then put it on the achievements thread!)


Estate agents - well, I can't imagine a situation where I would use them often enough to recommend any - but had great service from Bushells when I bought my flat (I know lots of people haven't but just sayin....)

SMBS

the walk down Melbourne Grove

pie and mash at the Magdala and watching the footy there

The Lane cafe (roll on when it reopens on the 20th Jan)

Karavan for my joss sticks

North Cross Road market

all the friends i've made there and the fact that most of my uni mates from Middlesbrough have also moved here!

CPT! :)-D


I know it has it's faults, but they are lovely guys, and they make a real effort! Onlt pub I can go in on my own, and know that a staff member will chat to me.


Peckhamgatecrasher, I agree about Rose, she's ace!


Kebab & Wine is one of the best kebab shops I know of... Interested to see what exactly they've done with Yilmaz.

The posh flower shop on North Cross Road. Yes it's expensive, but their stock is all top notch and lasts for ages. For special occasions it's well worth it.

Agree with so many of the other suggestions already made, including the fact that it's very nice to see a wholly positive thread.

Oh, and also love the fact that Paul of Sea Cow used the forum to respond in such a professional and service-oriented way to the criticism of his establishment - hope it gets back on form.

I'd like to big up the roundabout by the EDT, it gets loads of grief from passing cars 24/7 365 days a year, especially in the past 40 to 50 years as traffic volume has increased and now its about to get some bizarre piece of architecture slapped on it, so come on guys let's big up ED's most famous roundabout and wish it well for the future.

I apologise for my earlier comment and have edited it above to remove the offending words "nice tits". This is a serious forum and it has no place for ungentlemanly, sexist comments such as these. Especially from MrBen who was a little the worse for wear at the time.


Moral: Dont drink and post!

I should think so too, Mr Ben. I am glad you have edited your earlier post using the expression "Nice tits" to remove the unacceptable comment "Nice tits". Really there is no justification for using the words "Nice tits" on this forum even if you are referring to a nice set of tits.


Can other posters suggest alternatives to the expression "Nice tits" should any other poster wish to refer to an admirable pair of mammary glands?

unapproved because the guy's a nob and is saying "great tits " a lot much to do with the thread? I think not. - mark

The bathroom shop on lordship lane for giving me a free part for my kitchen tap - AND the cobblers in Forest Hill for mending my boots mended for free - you don't get friendly people like that in shops in other parts of London. I've had countless really friendly tradesmen too which was not my experience where I used to live.


And the Thai Corner Cafe - not yet found a Thai anywhere to beat it.


The Horniman Museum and gardens makes me happy whenever I go there.


The East Dulwich Forum is just a brilliant idea and has been proven to give power to the people!

The 'Zombie' cocktails in Black Cherry and the cheerful waitress with long dark hair that serves them.

The friendly dry cleaner on Grove Vale

The friendly gym-goers at Dulwich Hamlet

Chicken/Camembert burgers at Gourmet Burger

The Italian restaurant on Forest Hill Road

Peckham Rye Park

The greasy spoon next to Apollo DVD shop that do the best fry ups

The pizzas in La Petit Mon.. (something or other)

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
