Yeah silly isn?t it. Just because you wear a suit to work doesn?t mean you are a professional. Being a professional means having achieved the requisite knowledge and qualifications and passed the reviews in order to become listed with and qualified by a professional body.

I read the title of this thread as East Dulwich Cheese and was a bit disappointed when I opened it.


I'm inclined to agree with *Bob* about use of the word in rental ads, but I think it can also mean more than that. Sometimes I'd say it's code for "we like to think of ourselves as a modern-day, South East London version of This Life."

Personally I would rather live with someone with a proper job.


When I was in my early twenties all my friends had proper jobs: Gareth fixed bicycles, Martin was a Barman and Steve fixed printing machines. We always had exiting misadventures happen in our daily lives that made good stories to tell in the pub and no one ever whined about stress and/or how boring their jobs were.


Now we are big and Gareth does ?something in insurance?, Martin does ?something in auditing? and Steve does ?something in computers?. Every one of them is miserable in their jobs and consequently rubbish company.

I had to look at the official list of professions recently to find someone to certify a passport picture. Journalists are included?! The people I know that made it on to the list were a couple of teachers and a couple of accountants. All of whom are the most promiscuous, drunken, unreliable, irresponsible people I know.

"President/Secretary of a recognised organisation"


Recognised by whom? Does the forum have a President? Mr Administrator....could you sign my photo please.


To get back on-thread, this idea of an East Dulwich lexicon is quite a good one but I'm having a mind blank and can't contribute anything. :-S

It was neither.. Just a bit of tomfoolery. I'm all-up for calling a spade a spade.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
