saw the "Pink lady" yesterday lunchtime in her pink coat down North x road. she wasn't with the chap with the "haunted look" on his face but she was giving cheery "happy new year" to everyone, me included. Lovely lady. maybe next time i'll sum up the courage to ask her name.

The guy from Terrys DIY is a genius. I'd like to buy him a pint. I genuinely like him for sporting such a glossy sprayed "darts" bouffant and not giving a toss what anyone - you me or anyone on this forum thinks. He is his own man and I very much salute and like him for it. Individuality.


Anyone wondering who the slim white guy is in the combat jacket and jeans, walking down Lordship Lane for a William Rose steak and and looking like every other middle class ED 30-something man yet to breed .....well thats me. I ENVY that hair.

yes, indeed!

I've had a few pints with Hair and he's a nice geezer... knows the area well and is somewhat of a local historian. His real name's Malcolm and if you see him out and about he's always up for a chat... though I haven't yet had the bottle to ask him about his barnet.


Apologies BTW, the guy that said Terry's has closed down was right... it's got a different name now (which I've already forgotten). Should just be called Hair's.

Many of the people you mention probably are care in the community cases (with the exception of DIY hair man) and the reason for the fact there may be many in the area is twofold. One reason is the proximity to the Maudsley hospital and the other is the fact that not so long ago East Dulwich was a very working class area and many of these people would have been housed in the many council properties in the area. Despite the yummy mummys,posh Delis and Gaurdian readers who seem to have taken over the area there is still a dark undercurrent in East Dulwich.

Most of them are harmless. Just because they may live "the many council properties", it does not mean they bring a "dark undercurrent" to the area.


I consider myself a "local character" but I don't live in one of "the many council properties", nor do I bring a "dark undercurrent" to the area.

Apologies, I should have stated the many council properties that USED to be in the area.Of course these days the council properties are probably few and far between. Sir,you may well be a local character,but I think a distinction needs to be made between 'local characters' and the raving lunatics that seem to have been described in this thread.

They live in Whateley Road, oppos the police station. They're completely f*cked up and very aggressive. Walk past their flat and you'll cop an earful as they hang out of their lounge window.

I still don't believe (council houses + maudsley) = dark undercurrent. It probably gets ED snobs jumping up and down mind.


Dark undercurrent is what I would call the nutter who kept a skull on his window ledge for 5 years on Melbourne Grove.


BTW, apologies accepted.


Regards

>>Apologies, I should have stated the many council properties that USED to be in the area.Of course these days the >>council properties are probably few and far between<<


I suspect there may be rather more than you think, epecially if you included Right To Buy leaseholds, which are still technically council properties. and are dotted all over SE22, and not just in purpose-built flat blocks either!

Kellyscartoons may mental illness never visit you or yours or maybe it should in order to do a little something for your terrible snobbish attitude. Yes East Dulwich is awash with council tennants albeit in many of those nice Victorian conversions and there is every chance that you are no further than a door away from one of these so called nutters but haven't noticed as they appear quiet normal so be scared very scared.

    • That explanation sounds highly unlikely!  Surely the "days of the week" plates must be a standard size. I know Royal Mail often appears incompetent, but it  couldn't be that stupid, surely. Was it 1 April?!  
    • Looking for a short length of electric (twin & earth)  lighting cable. Most likely there could be some in a skip near you??
    • Southwark's recycling guidance says to put shredded paper in the blue bin in a paper envelope or "small box". I've got far too much of it for that  (confidential stuff going back decades) - thanks to the EDF member who kindly gave me a shredder! It would be a "massive box". I have barely started  the shredding, and I've already got an extremely large bagful.   I've read online that you can put it into  large clear plastic bags in the bin for paper,  provided you  clearly label it "shredded paper" and it is obvious what it is. Does anybody know if Southwark would accept it like that? Alternatively, can anyone make use of it for animal bedding or packaging material or adding to  compost?
    • I'm happy to report that some foxgloves are now looking great in my garden. The bees are loving them. Also managed to grow some corn poppies from seed. I've left some decaying logs in the corner so maybe there are some stag beetles there.
