Louisa. I love your style.

I heard there was going to be a new Pound Shop on Lordship Lane. Everything a Fiver.


Foxy.

Got my copy through the door.


The ?3.95 price on it is obviously just supposed to make you think it's worth something, as quite clearly it's a free mag which nobody in their right mind would pay twopence for, let alone nearly four quid.


At least half of the magazine consists of estate agents' stuff, including houses in SW2, and what reviews of "Crystal Palace's newest fish restaurant" and The Lido Cafe in Brockwell Park have to do with Dulwich, God knows.


Oh, and the "What's on in September" section has exactly five things in it which appear to be in Dulwich, the rest being in places like Brockley, Forest Hill and West Norwood.


Absolutely Not Dulwich, then.


"Stylish. Intelligent. Elegant. Absolutely" it says at the bottom of the front cover. In my experience, anything described as "stylish" is usually anything but, and this crock of s***e hasn't caused me to change my mind :))


My next copy will go straight in the recycling bin without a second glance.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
