Quite likely, especially as I have no idea what you're talking about :))


ETA: KK, there were two daughters, the poor things had to stay down there in the half-light during half term, looking extremely bored and occasionally playing their recorders .....


ETA: Oh DUH I just looked up disco biscuits. What a sheltered upbringing I have had :))

fewer curry houses - i don't know how many stay open, half of them are dead most nights. i ate in swadesh recently - 8pm on a saturday night. you'd expect there to be more people eating there than just me and the wife. shame because the food is nice but eating in an empty restaurant doesn't make for the most fun night out.


an italian restaurant/pizza place serving traditional thin crust pizzas cooked in a wood burning brick oven would make a killing.


likewise a japanese or vietnamese.


also agree a small indi cinema would go down well.


sadly, i expect the rents dictate that new arrivals will be more of the likes of cafe nero and oliver bonus.


the two chains i'd like to see depart are co-op and iceland. never use either of them. not sure who uses iceland. it's about as out of place as some of the joke suggestions on this thread for pound shops, strip bars and maccy ds.

Iceland was here long before a lot of the newer shops, yes it's obviously on the way out but people do use it - there are many things you can buy there that are the same as sold in sainsburys but cheaper. Many people who are on lower incomes & pensioners shop there, not everyone in East Dulwich is flush & Lordship Lane hasn't always been full of chi chi shops!

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
