This place is rubbish for pulling.

We singles would be better off with a horse and saddle and a lassoo;-)

Yippee. I shall ride round to somerfield and find me a woman to lassoo and hog tie, and haul her up on to my saddle..........sounds exhausting.


Dang me, there must be an easier way.

Hi cherry - I doubt that you're still visiting the ED Forum after the reponse that you received (a little intimidating may I say) but I hope you are as I joined the forum for the same reason as you. I have an 8 month old daughter and frequent just about every baby playgroup in the area and have many friends in the area - all of whom are 2 parent families. It is human nature though to want to know people in the same situation as yourself and I refuse to believe that we are the only single parents in ED! I agree that the ED forum is prob not best place to meet other single parents but I tried calling Gingerbread and their represntative in Dulwich has never returned my calls so that's a dead end. If you're still checking the forum, get in touch.

Hello - just registered on this forum. I'm a single parent too - my daughter is 21 months old....have lots and lots of friends in the area, plus family but would be nice to be in touch with other single parents locally as I think there are certain things only another single parent can understand (the sheer exhaustion mostly!)


Want to start dating again too....Guardian Soulmates isn't coming up with the goods...any decent men out there?

hi emc, i'm not quite at that stage yet but my best mate is and has been using match.com and has been on some hilarious dates. she hasn't found love but has found lots of laughs. anyway, it's good to know i'm not the only single parent in the area. was beginning to think i was living on a movie set!

    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
