I'm sorry seanmlow but if you stick your chin out and start a thread like this . . . well . . . pot, kettle, black.


"exposed by numerous TV documentaries", I can think of several EA's (2 local) that have been exposed in the media for underhand/illegal practices. How often do we read about brown envelopes, false offers etc.


"We are providing a SERVICE", many people trying to get on the ladder might disagree, as well as those who let their properties via EA's only to find a) no proper references done, and b) letting never properly managed despite hefty fees.


"ones who are angry are the ones who can't afford a nice house - or get a decent mortage", Can South London Press quote you?Any publicity is good publicity?

Sean as I said in my earlier post, I am not always to be taken 100% seriously; what I was saying was a cathartic, tongue in cheek rant. I spend my life writing considered objective rubbish so it is nice to come out with some shouty opinionated rubbish once in a while. I rather enjoyed the All Bar One comment.


Emphatically I do realise that most estate agents are just normal people doing a job. There is however justification for people?s prejudice, as there is with many other industries where being a bit of a bastard is seen as a good thing.


I think the UK property boom/bust nonsense over the past few years has probably exacerbated peoples? annoyance with the whole property industry.


Most people however would never be so shallow as to judge someone personally on their choice of career


but those cars are still ugly.

Top reply from MINI imho.

I agree, many EA's are dodgy and don't help at all. Look at my Acorn thread - I have experienced it first hand!


I just think we get a bad rep!


In terms of the cars, I ask because I am trying to get together some idea for using more green cars for EA's. Most journeys are short and quick, so using gas guzzlers is quite silly!

karter -


not sure how I feel about CPZ. I think it will help residents who are fed up with shoppers taking their spaces (esp off Northcross Road).


I think we will just have to deal with it! I live in Ryedale so can always walk to my car!


I am worried the CPZ will affect local traders. Saying that, I never drive to ED and I can't be bothered with driving round finding a space!

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
