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.

      How do you know what the fox wanted to do if it didn’t do it.

      Bitey Fox.

      Quote "it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me." Doesn't say clearly that it tried to bite you , but instead implies that you had the impression, right or wrong that it wanted to nip you.  unless you are clear others will read it how you write it.  As for being a jobsworth, what a quaint old expression, haven't heard that for a long while.

      Attempted car theft - Underhill

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Crook locks can be sawn through, or the steering wheel to which it is attached, I know to my own cost. The safest additional security measure is what's called a ghost immobiliser, which cannot be traced through the car's electronics, meaning it is difficult to bypass. They cost a bomb however.

      Thieves on electric bike around East Dulwich

      By march46 · Posted

      I’ve reported two instances of mobile phone theft to 999 in recent times. On both occasions several police units have arrived very quickly - in one case they found the perpetrator.
