Ahhh. Have just searched lindylou and now it's starting to make sense.

She's the person on this thread http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,77467,78165#msg-78165 who didn't really get dulwichmum.

Does anyone feel like going over to West Dulwich to explain satire?

I also didn't understand this post from lindylou on the Ask Admin thread


"I sincerely hope my thread re single and over 50 didn't cause concern. I am new to this forum and merely hoped to start maybe a friendship coffee meeting or pub meeting"


you see what I mean? It combines consideration for others and not wishing to cause offence AND yet no recognition of the fact that there have been dozens of pub meetings on here. Why not come along to one of those?

I am the Middle Class Middle-woman.....I am in East Dulwich and have been everywhere else I have lived...in answer to your question.


Now what to do about us snobby 3 wheeler types that the WDF think we all are....should we invite the WDF over the The Herne for a sunday lunch? bring the kids....or what about the mum and baby sessions at The Palmerston, maybe that's something that would interest them?....we only want to compare buggies after all. Chit chat, you know the type of thing.

The West Dulwich lot are so posh they don't need to clean up after themselves.

Worms, Verrucas, Headlice and the rest are the norm in the Village.

I avoid Jags and Dulwich college Swimming pool at all costs, the amount of kids that go swimming with verrucas and not wearing a protective sock is shocking, they have no regards for other people.

Also washing your hands after using the loo is not a done thing in the Village hence the constant worm problem.


How do I know? Ahhh us nannies know a lot of things you know;-)


And don't even get me started on how two faced most of them there are...that goes for the mums AND the nannies!

HeidiHi, what rubbish, you think worms, headlice and verrucas are only in the Village?

Have you been checking all the kids' feet at the swimming pools to back up that comment about non-sock wearing?

Such inverted snobbery and sweeping generalisations are crass.

Nope It is not only in the Village but there is a hell of a lot of it going on in the village!


If I was a snob I would be saying that the East Dulwich Lot were germy and riddled with everything since after all the West Dulwich lot is meant to be the 'Posh' side!


And regarding the sock wearing...yep I have actually! How? because quite a few of my nanny friends have kids going to those schools and they do not get checked for verrucas. My brother and his friend joined the College gym also, and my brother does the weights, his friend does swimming, and guess what? his friend picked up a verrucas! No lie!


So please, unless you work in my capacity or you know my circle of friends, and where we work and what we do, I suggest you dont make suggestions about what I know and what I see.

If you are not checking the kids' feet how do you know that the amount of children with verrucae that go swimming without protective socks is shocking?

Gyms and changing rooms all over are rife for spreading verrucae as moist or cracked skin is more susceptible to the virus. It is generally children and teenagers that get them anyway which is why a school has lots.

My son goes to school in the village and has never had any of the ailments you mention, so I do have a degree of experience in the field.


It is your inverted snobbery that I get irritated by. Worms and headlice have no class barriers and I don't think it is worse there than anywhere else.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.

      Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.

      Yet another burst main... major leak on Lordship Lane nr junction with Barry Rd

      By Sue · Posted

      Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
