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.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
