Because you can collect them at your convenience instead of having to wait in for them.

Thats right,,


I take in parcels for my neighbours almost every week.. and they pick it up from me when they get home.


Some are quite big. Probably too big to leave at the Co-op. Where are they Left ???


Things I order on line (Very Rarely) I can Track on line as to when it will arrive.

The Joys of being retired..

Because many people work?


Because they don't want to pay an arm and a leg to have it delivered at the weekend or some other time when they are not working?


Because they don't want to take a day off to wait in for a parcel?


ETA: DulwichFox, not all companies use delivery services which enable you to track your parcels.


In some cases you only know a parcel will be delivered some time between 8 and 6, or even later.


That is massively inconvenient even if you aren't working.


And even if you can track a parcel, you often don't get details of the delivery time until the morning of the delivery, which again is pretty useless if you work.

It's often quicker to do click & collect too - can be available the next day vs a few days for home delivery.


Some places have a higher price threshold for free home delivery compared to free click & collect.


There is really no need to write off as 'bizarre' the fact that different people find different things convenient! :)

No... it's not going a small Waitrose. It's not going to be a Waitrose at all. Because the whole thing has been completely made up. Move along.

fishbiscuits stay our of this please, you know NOTHING about the intentions of Waitrose, whereas Natty and I have already been told. I know you?re trying to look important on the forum, but it?s a bit cringe to be frank with you.


Rah you might want to change it again, go and heck the planning portal. Bunch of know-it-all?s on this forum.

Is Natty even a real person? Seems like a bot to me.


Anyway, I tell you what... if you turn out to be right, I will buy you and Natty whatever you want in the East Dulwich branch of Bill's. And a humble pie + mash from Brexitspoons for myself.

Bill?s isn?t due to open until 2020, but I?ll stick to the deal. And yes I probably will order the fillet mignon, just so I can prove to you that being smart isn?t your best trait.


Shouldn?t you be in a fancy restaurant somewhere so people can look at you spending your money?

Don?t spoil the fun for fishbiscuits, Sue. Let them believe once again that they?re right. I?m looking forward to that nice big plate of humble pie being eaten up. I?m assuming you?ll only eat it if it?s organic, served on a chopping board, and people can watch you eating it through a window at the latest trendy eatery on LL, or maybe we could find somewhere a bit trendier for 2019?

      Latest One Dulwich update

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      I tell you what, I've answered every question you've posed to me on this thread so far, so before you deflect any further, why don't you address the simple questions I've put to you several times first. Here, give them a go: Who has been pressurising the emergency services and how? Do you genuinely believe that people are partially covering their plates and driving through the square due to inadequate signage?

      Which original consultation?    Err be careful with the expert opinion and data part.....if you think the cycle lobby and Aldred et al is the sole source of sound opinion on such issues! 😉 And this is where they fell foul of the law and had to re-run the consultation. It actually casts huge doubt on a lot of previous consultations (including the latest DV one) as they do not pass the legal watermark because they do not provide a yes/no response. The council are terrified of a judicial review because, I suspect under legal advice, they know they cheated the system in many previous consultations.

      Perhaps the issue is that Southwark don’t listen. They didn’t take account of responses. The proposed CPZs for west Dulwich  stopped when the Council was threatened with a judicial review. Not before. Whatever consultation process was worse than flawed with McAsh arguing that because they were in power, they had a mandate and didn’t need to listen to anyone’s views, rendering any democratic process void. The criteria for LTNs was high population density, high public transport usage and low car ownership so Dulwich Village was a perfect candidate…not. Just a coincidence but I believe some councillors live within the scheme

      ED Half Houses

      By RichardJames · Posted

      We’re looking to buy a house in ED (3 Bed, 1,100 sq ft type). Quite a few we’ve found on Landells Road, Pellatt Road and Jennings Road are half houses. Does anyone have a view or any experiences of living/buying a half house?
