The reason this thread has turned into name calling and ranting is because of Tiger Ranks comment - "who would think that of the new dulwich what will all the POSH TOFFS THINK".


What s/he has written is true and obviously the 'posh toffs' have taken offence. I have lived in East Dulwich for 32 years and believe me it's certainly the people that make it a pompus place to live. I recently found out that Lordship Lane is now known as 'The Lane' and if you live on Melbourne Grove you are known as referrred to as a 'Melbourne Grover' WTF.


No matter where you live there are criminal offences taking place East Duwlich, Peckham, Kensignton & Chelsea everywhere!!! I for one cannot wait to move out of East Dulwich - it has changed for the worse.

Clio731 - what a load of old bollox.

If people have their own ways of labelling things like streets or folks who live on streets it really is no big deal - it certainly doesn't mean you or anyone else is under pressure to subscribe to the same terminology !

I've heard the 'Grover' expression with other streets (groves) and it's more a play on 'Groover' than anything else, not something specific to East Dulwich.

We'd all love Dave The Butcher back (he'd fit in a treat I reckon) but those days are gone.

Sounds like you've got a right chip on your shoulder about the change in demographic (but perhaps not about increase in your property value, no - hold on, you sound poor, so it won't apply to you).

    • Can we get more data about this “fastest growing economy” thing. I’ve googled but can’t   find anything concrete  I do recall a bunch of unaffordable tax cuts which gave impression of boosting economy in short term in full knowledge they would have to deal with fallout.  So there’s that  but hey. If you are in the market for reasons why uk economy is in a doom loop might I point you to Brexit. And then I watch as people go “stop wanging on about that” and then they go back to complain my about doom loops and wondering why Tories lost so massively 
    • Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.  Dismal figures released today on economic growth. Dismal figures released yesterday on unemployment.  Inflation has doubled since Labour took office and will likely stay at such grossly high rates when the next figures are announced next week. And things are only going to get worse this winter. Higher tax, higher unemployment, and higher emigration of wealth generators to Milan and Dubai have put the economy into a terrible doom loop. 
    • I have used them to get to places around Dulwich where there are no buses and you are no longer allowed to drive your own car. However, I have found them very expensive compared to other modes of transport.
