Today I was thinking about when food rationing ended in 1954 and wondering whether the days will return when we have to register with an East Dulwich grocer to obtain food.


I had a look at the logistics for our East Dulwich food supply chain and I didn't like what I found. JiT is very dangerous.


How many days food supply do you have in your larder for your family?

Last time I was in thigh boots Ms B Was fishing in a scottish loch in the Shetlands.

It was early August, the rain was horizontal and the wind was blowing hard enough to lift the toupee off a bald midget standing in a crater.

I caught nothing but a chill, and I have never missed wearing those thigh boots.

I'm with you there MW74 nothing like embarassing one's offspring, which I keep telling mine that's what the parents role in life is, just like our parent's toe curling attempts to slaughter us, especially in front of a gaggle of our best friends.


What's the point of having kids if you don't give them grief to the max.

What kind of parent could I be classed as, if I didn't show them how excrutiating life can be as a young raw adult.

It is excellent preparation for youngsters to learn how to shoulder the burden of lifes all engulfing mantel of many miseries.

    • FYI East Dulwich neighbours: I was in the middle of a cash withdrawl at the cashpoint at the Tesco Express on ED road (the one next to the Esso petrol station) when a man appeared beside me waving his hands over the screen and saying not to use it because it had just taken his card. He then dissapeared and I cancelled the withdrawl. No card was returned. It took me literally 30 seconds (max) to realise something wasn't right and 'freeze' the card on my mobile/banking app. I immediately got a txt message from my bank saying a transaction had just been declined, and then another. I logged in to app and £251 had already been taken. This all happened increadibly quickly - the whole incident from first encounter to money being taken and me freezing card was probably around 3 minutes. The guy must have somehow seen me put my PIN number in. It's possible there was some kind of card skmming involved, but I don't know for sure. The man was around 5ft 6/7, black and wearing a covid-type face mask. I don't remember what clothes he was wearing. I got the feeling (mainly from his voice and eyes) that he wasn't young - maybe mid-30s to mid-40s (but I can't be sure). Obviously I repoted to police. 
    • It would be incredible if the community supported small businesses rather than a chain (Gail's being a very large chain).   Sadly, consumers don't realise their power - as you can see also by the number of coffee cups etc that are still being bought and contribute to landfill - it' not hard to be responsible, just inconvenient.
    • Surely the main issue for Dulwich Village is their retail offer, like most of Dulwich Village,  is desperately dull and a bit basic.  Not really worth anyone from outside of Dulwich Village travelling for. 
    • It's a case of who blinks first.  But  purchasers who do this will lose all good will form the owner and will probably suffer aife changing accident as the Gods won't be smiling on them.
