I don't understand this. Why is SE22 inadequate and what's wrong with it's look or feel? Feel???

You called SE22 "an ad mag".


I think that is an unfair description. It contains a lot of useful information, including about upcoming events, new shops and businesses, and photos of past local events, plus articles by local people.


To say "its look and feel is inadequate at best" depends entirely on what you feel is "adequate", which is a matter of personal opinion (though I agree the layout could be improved in places).


To imply (as you do in your subject header) that it is not "credible" just because you want a magazine with a different focus and contents is unfair.


My reference to the Goose Green Fair was because Angela Burgess, who edits the magagazine, lives locally and contributes a lot to the local community. She does not just sit and haul in ads to put in SE22.

Why are you going on about what great things Angela Burgess does in the local community? I've got no issue with that, I'm saying SE22 mag is pap!. It's structure and layout is rubbish and the photography is laughable. As you state you 'flinch' when walking past crappy local architecture, I flinch when a copy of SE22 drops on my doormat.

cred?i?ble (krd-bl)


adj.


1. Capable of being believed; plausible.

2. Worthy of confidence; reliable.

3. Being of sufficient military capability to deter an attack or carry out an operation successfully: credible military force.



ETA: So I'm unclear why SE22 magazine is considered not "credible".

I'm not sure what you expect from SE22 unlurked. I don't often read it but when I do I see it provides information as to what's happening in ED which for some people may be very useful. Full of ads from the same companies.......jeez grow up. It's a free magazine which exists because of adverts. Those people who advertise choose to because they consider it worth it. I don't think I have ever heard of a complaint about any magazine because the adverts are always the same. This is ED not the whole of London.

Seen 'the dark side of the forum . . .' thread, AM? Ring any bells?

I would've thought the majority of people understand the definition of credibility

in this instance thanks, and you know full well it has nothing to do with 'military capability'. I think you'll find a pretty high percentage of locals who would agree with me that East Dulwich deserves a 'more' credible mag than what we have at present.

Dog duck - I sense you are a frustrated creative. Someone who can spot mediocrity and who yearns and has a passion for better. That is a positive entrepreneurial quality. You just need to find the right channel for that. And personally, if you want to make any money, I don't think its an SE22 magazine replacement. Plenty other ideas out there though for those with your talents though surely?

You make some fair points MrBen... perhaps I was just stupidly fantasizing about driving around in my car emblazoned with logos etc telling everyone about my great magazine company!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
