Other stuff:


I have started shopping at Vals up at the Plough. Despite being a teeny weeny shop, they do seem to have things you can't get in other places.


Also, I have recently taken to saying (a la Dulwich mum); "I nearly inhaled my own vomit!"

I've become a bit more involved in the community and have been able to get my points of view across on certain issues, but have also become more addicted to using the internet, which I see as a downside. I think I get riled more by certain things as I know now that others do too and that when I vent, there is likely to be support for that venting, which makes me feel even more self-righteous! Nero

Based on the one time I bought veg there, one of the things they do that you don't get elsewhere is potatoes that are, just beneath the surface, bright green.


Agree that it's a nice little place but I wouldn't go for the "fresh" veg again...

and whoever said any of us weren't entitled to an opinion?


disagreeing with each other's opinions has long been the lifeblood of this place - otherwise everyone would post theirs', that would be that and we could all have an early night!

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
