Yes, this is a giveaway

"Tom, a blogger on eastdulwichforum.co.uk, notes that ?the once gym-honed, buff young things of Clapham would appear to be setting into their middle years quite well?. His suggestion that East Dulwich should be touted as the gastro capital of London might be slightly farfetched but the area, previously known only for its fried chicken, has certainly come a long way."


Tom, you're famous

Tom, you're famous; though looking at tit, wondering which of tom's posts contain any of that.

Sheesh, lazy journalism in the flesh.

I sent this to the times as a comment, but it seems to have gone nowhere:


"Ha ha, was this article entirely researched from a desk in Times Towers, seemingly by doing nothing other than reading the east dulwich forum (even the quote from there is completely misattributed).

I take it the Costa Coffee mistake (it's caffe nero) was deliberately snuck in as misdirection to stop people noticing the lazy journalism.

And you could at least link to Dulwichmum's blog if you're going to appropriate her offspring"

whether or not the journo was inspired by dm's posts, or just completely based her entire around dm's posts may be a moot point.


I am still checking for the lines: ''The most popular destination, the ''lounge'' with its dedicated quiet room with a menu of fishfinger sandwiches, champagne and latte and boasts a frequently-clensed swimming pool. The last of the bohemian gentlemen retire to the newly installed soundproof-room where the local band performs covers of neutral milk hotel classics. The main attraction has to be the half-bat, half-dog man who plays the machine gun and sleeps in a handbag."

Hmm. Was hoping to keep a local, low profile. National rags not my scene.

The quote was accurate - but it was a thread that was quite rightly ignored by most of you as it was a blatant attempt to incur the wrath of more established residents.... I was bored.. sorry!

So, lets talk about house prices again. I'm not happy about the plateau in house prices mentioned... I made ?3K a week on MY house last year.. anyone beat that?


Discuss.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
