The Telepgraph are going overboard on Dulwich Mum's, this one is also there:

Odd that all these appear in the "education" section. Perhaps it's the Telegraph's version of the class struggle.

Well, here goes DM. I expressed a mild opinion that although your blog/persona are amusing enough as single-joke pastiches, I don't find them all that funny. I don't quite understand the blanket-love for the writing visible on this site - and queried if this was my own lack of a sense of humour, or lack of familiarity with the targets of your satire.


I then realised that that might appear a little ungallant - given you are celebrating a national news-site deal (for which, many congratulations), and also that in general conversation expressing opinions on humour can never go further than personal preference, so I deleted.


But I probably shouldn't have deleted because I think I expressed myself better the first time round, and I may just be compounding things here.


That's about the gist of it, I think.

Oh well done.....the article itself was splendid, the comments (some of them anyway) unintentionally hilarious. I too have sent a comment - how could one possibly resist?! - and hope it gets past the wielders of the red ink pen in the DT's Censorship/Legal Department....

The Telegraph is a newspaper right?

I'm embarrassed for the many many brilliant and proper journalists who have written for the Telegraph down the years and even for the few decent ones left, for 'dulwich mum' and for anyone who thinks this is an acceptable use of newsprint. My heart aches for Fleet Street and all that it used to be.

But fair play to you Dulwich Mum for flogging this to The Telegraph, you clearly have a talent for something.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      Bitey Fox.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
