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.

    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
