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!

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
