Is East Dulwich Becoming Too Posh? (Lounged)

[Domitianus]

East Dulwich, aka Royston Vasey. I agree that ED is becoming too posh. Not only that but there are NEW SHOPS opening up!!! And STRANGERS coming into the area!!! I think this is atrocious and that all NEW SHOPS!!! should be burnt down. All STRANGERS!!! should be arrested and sent back to where they come from. I suggest that we rewind time about ten years to when ED was a LOCAL community, full of LOCAL SHOPS for LOCAL PEOPLE. After all, progress may be a wonderful thing but frankly, we have had too much of it. Perhaps we could also arrange for all LOCAL SHOPS to revert to 1950's prices and start to charge in pounds, shillings and pence. Obviously, we would also have to revert to pounds and ounces. None of this nasty 'METRIC' measurements Johnny Foreigner has foisted upon us!

Wonder what the "special" meat is in the LOCAL butchers..... :-S

[dulwichmum]

Dear Mr Keef,

Surely you have not seen 'bush meat' for sale in Lordship Lane?

[Keef]

DM, ;-)

[Domitianus]

The special meat is made of...pig's willeeeeesss!

[fish]

Very nice, I'm sure - not!

[dulwichmum]

Mother of God!

[Keef]

Are you DM? How are Max and Freya adjusting to their divine new brother? ;-)

Hello Dave! You're my wife now!

[dulwichmum]

How are you married to Dave? I don't follow...

[Ant]

DM, all you need to know is here.

[dulwichmum]

Who is Papa Lazarou? Clearly you mistake me for a lady of intelligence... I am completely lost now!

[Keef]

DM he's a very weird circus ring master who calls everyone Dave, and steals women to be one of his wives. He a character in League of Gentlemen. Was a reference to am earlier post. Sorry for the confusion :-S

I wonder if they have 'the special stuff' in William Rose's? They are such a posh shop and the posh eat all kinds of strange and peculiar things....

Dear Mr Keef,

thank you so much for explaining that to me, I am rather "a silly", as the children would say! So I am your wife now, am I my darling?

[Ant]

Being a Papa Lazarou-style wife is not a very good position in life, DM. Just thought I'd warn you before you skip gaily into the hessian bridal sack being held so gallantly open for you.

[dulwichmum]

Ah well, it was a nice dream when it lasted. I am keen to find out all about this character now. Does this mean that Mr Keef has plans afoot for me? Thanks for warning me Mr Ant.

go to the Lounge!

[CrystalClear]

Yes DM. Keef's going to black himslef up and join the circus.

Surely ED is as middle class as ever, especially with Nutty's Lotus and Snorky's 911 doing the rounds. I own an old pair of trainers and some socks with holes in (never fear, am learning to darn as we speak).

[dulwichmum]

Dear Mr CrystalClear,

I shall send Ana around immediately to do your manual tasks. You poor boy, clearly you need looking after. I thought you had a new lady friend. Is she not looking after you properly darling?

Take this to the Lounge

[Jah Lush]

Posh no. But over the last few years since a lot of new money has moved into the area one does get the feeling that the place is becoming a little gentrified. I'm not complaining though as all the bars, restaurants and shops have all improved beyond measure and there is more choice. Always a good thing that.

We moved here from Brondesbury a little while ago. Sold a small flat for a massive profit which enabled us to buy a semi down here in ED. Did'nt think East Dulwich was posh then but we do feel its turning into a bit of a clone town with a kind of bland homogonised character. To that end we miss the unique character of our former North London idyll...:-$

[dulwichmum]

Dear Hillcourtcouple,

Perhaps you should take your fox trap and return to North London, poor disillusioned darlings...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Hahahahahahaha - ooh you are awful!!
