Hello good (and not so good) people of East Dulwich


I am starting this thread to help someone who badly needs our support


I know, it's not like Dogger to assist I hear you cry, (Foxy your voice is so high only small dogs can hear it and Louisa I never knew you were so deep and gruff)


But help is indeed required for a young person with a substantial loss of hearing.


They have such a level of hearing loss that they have to turn the music up in his car so loud just to hear it. Now I know I used to crank up the music of my day, and often got told off by the local beat Bobby as Bach belted out at a shocking 2 decibels from my jaloppy whilst Jeeves walked in front with a red flag, but this poor unfortunate obviously had no idea how deaf they are.


Maybe you know them, they drive through the quiet streets of East Dulwich between 7 and 8 at night and have to have the music so loud that you can hear it about 5 minutes before they pass you, normally starting like a low grumble that seems to penetrate your very soul and essence, building up until you feel like the earth is splitting asunder and hell is spewing forth the very Devils your priest warned you about in your youth if you indulged (I still sleep wearing boxing gloves as a result) and then the vibration builds to the point where parked cars jump to its beat and they sing out thier strange alarm sounding warble, like an Eerie cry of the banshees dragging you to your death, as the car passes


They obviously need our pity and help so I am asking the lovely residents of East Dulwich to assist , dig deep and find it in your hearts to donate towards a hearing aide for this poor unfortunate soul.


Can you help, is there anything you can do at the start of this festive giving season to make sure they don't go through life not knowing the beauty of silence, a lovers soft whisper or the sound of a bird tweeting it's joy of being alive


I don't even know who they are !


It's a lot to ask I understand but someone must know who this person is and the best way to assist them before it's too late.


Should I start a crowd funding page, just giving or put a charity box at the till of the coop ? ( I've never done this before)


Help them, I beg you


Thank you for your time

Oh dear


This crowd funding request is just going to grow isn't it


Maybe we can also order some run flat low profile tyres, lowering kit (so that they can ground out going over speed humps) and go faster stripes (they actually work from personal experience I have to add)

    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving.
