And Easter hols and October half-term....probably difficult to post when you're in a different time zone half a world away - bit of a giveaway! 😉

I just love how quiet Dulwich Park and Lordship Lane are, especially the first week of the private school holidays.

Yes, that goes for this forum too...

All the parents looking after their kids instead of skiving from their meaningless desk jobs might mean it's quieter on here. Still, at least it gives free rein to the bad-tempered, long-winded pensioners that begin their posts "having resided in Dulwich for a not inconsiderable number of decades, may I be so bold as to suggest..." 😉

Who are you quoting?

I do wonder if there is a correlation between the bad-temperedness of posters and how many holidays they take. It seems those who go quietest during school hols are the angriest posters on here....so perhaps jetting off on holidays does nothing for their stress levels whilst those of us who get to enjoy a quiet Dulwich find new levels of calm! 😉

Right, I am off to do some yogic flying around Dulwich Park before the angry masses return - anyone care to join me! 😉

You generally can't access the forum from abroad. I assume Admin has geofenced it

That's good news as I expect the Russians, North Koreans and Chinese authorities will have tried to destabalise SE London.  Hmmm, thinking about it, how many are you are agents for these regimes if actually human?

Those not from the metropolis will recall the trades fortnights in the summer when factories would coordinate closing down for a couple of weeks for the summer hols.  With the quiet roads every day in the fortnight felt like Sunday.  I think this is what Morrissey was thinking.

    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money 
    • Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
