Why East Dulwich is overated and crap (Lounged)

[snorky]

The Snorky Propaganda machine designed to m ke ED LESS desirable to move to and reduce house prices

1) The terrible street violence

2) The proximity to that terrible peckham place and its unemployed populace

3) The drugs use - indeed, there was a call for a needle exchange lately - just shows how bad it actually is

4) The amount of betting shops - always full of footpads an ne-er do wells

And the streets are paved with dog sh*t. Mustn't forget that one.

[spadetownboy]

That'll be cars, then.

Motorcycles park for free.

East Dulwich is crap because it's basically one road with lots of small shops. And that's all.

I love Dulwich, IT IS THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE as far as I am concerned, the only place to live in London.

I love Nero's, Moo Too, Dr Boo, Hope & Greenwood, Black Cherry, Mrs Robinson, William Rose, Moxons and ... White Stuff! There are so many other reasons too, there is a lovely park just a hop and a skip off Lordship Lane, nice places to eat and drink, good hairdressers, the super dry cleaners/cobblers next to the post office, even my munchkins love it. I can even have the inside of my car cleaned of Ribena and melted chocolate. I find everyone really friendly.

All that is missing is a branch of Sephora and then it would be simply perfect!

Following the slating this place has had in the Wanted section, I have booked to get my hair cut there later today. I've always been happy enough with it, but seem to be a small minority, so going to go and make a judgement later...

[Parker's Folly]

Nothing wrong with the place, just the snotty, self-satisfied people that populate it now. The thrusting, preening, "Oh my God, look at us, we've arrived!" types, who pay over-the-top prices for very average, working class Victorian terraces stuck in a ditch in South London.

ED is crap because there is no tube line.

The beer is flowing like piss

The piss is flowing down the drain

A goodnight kiss comes on the end of a fist

The evening ends in a stain

On Lordship Lane

A man kicks his wife in the kidneys

Nobody's feeling any pain

Stacked up alongside the others

Throwing up beer in the rain

On Lordship Lane

On Lordship Lane everything ends in tears and pain

Misery and shame

Lordship Lane

Throw a brick at the street light

Kick the baby in the head

Smash up the cat with a baseball bat

Everything winds up dead

On Lordship Lane

On Lordship Lane everything ends in tears and pain

Misery and shame

Lordship Lane
