WTF are you on about... do not judge me on my comments on other subjects not related to this thread.


I think I may of commented about The Patch in another thread when they stated they would be open at

the end of August and I said it would be unlikely.


Once again 'THE FOX' as you put was proved right..


DulwichFox Does not Argue. Just quotes Facts. :)

Louisa I don't read the Guardian - only students do, generally. I prefer more grown-up news in whatever form.


I do however like good food.


I don't even go into Witherspoons at the airport...so if sticky carpets and Aunt Bessie tatties are your thing (oh no, you like Pret-a-manger) then no, I for one shan't be shouting you a bit a lamb - sorry. But I will be very happy to report back on my experience. To spare you from the hideousness of all the good food, and that.

Well I salute you in your endeavour to find 'good food' tallulah (as objective a subject as that may be) and I also respect your 'half glass full' approach to food you are yet to try (unless you are psychic and have foreseen just how great it will be of course). Not to worry about the lack of support for the 'Louisa Lamb Main Fund' or LLMF as I like to call it, I'm sure I'll somehow reach my target of ?10 somehow. Please do report back and let me know how great the food is. I've never been into this Witherspoons establishment you refer to? Is it similar to Wetherspoons? If so I'm down for an Aunt Bessie's roast spud anytime of the day.. I'll certainly be trying that one out next time I'm stuck at an airport :)

Louisa no need to salute me yet, bless you. I'm not in search of anything - just looking forward to a meal with 'good food'. Have you checked your shoulder lately?


Enjoy your shared plate with Sue - I look forward to the lamb reviews :)


Apologies for my misspelling of 'Spoons....My 'name' is not Tallulah. It's Tallulah71...

Sorry, tallulah71. More an informality than an obvious typo though. No I've not checked my shoulder lately, I hope it's still in the freezer though because I do love a shoulder of lamb. If not, then I'll have to just wait for my shared plate with Sue :) talking of shoulders have you checked yours? I'm sure there's a sense of humour there somewhere. Just a guess ;)

Rare for me :)


We might have to take our own vegetables. Do you think they have the vegetable equivalent of a corkage charge?

Judging by the size of the vegetable patch out the back, we may get more odd looks for the carrier bag full of peas carrots and cauliflowers than we would for sharing a main Sue. Maybe we could bring a bag of Iceland frozen mixed veg and ask them to microwave it for us? :)

I was in ironic mode Otta - their statement, quoted, is clearly laughable and a lot of silly pretentious nonsense - it is, as you say, obviously an expensive restaurant with an attached bar.


Having said that maybe they'll go down the Palmerston/Franklins route and mask the high-end food area with a few locals sipping pints of mild 'out front' for 'colour' and a dash of authenticity.


If the price of their beers matches their food I fear they may struggle to recruit.


I have sent in my resum? in the hope of a doggie bag come closing time.



eta: Now, if they served the faggot in a crusty bread roll with mushy peas as a bar snack...

Congratulations on your OAP-ness, Zebedee Tring!


I too have been reading the Grauniad since I was a student, and I too am an OAP (AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH) :))

Sorry for offending all Grauniad readers old and young alike - it was meant in jest just so I could get into a bit of argy bargy with Louisa. No harm intended - I don't read any newspapers apart from the fluffy section in the Torygraph every now and then. take the piss out of me as much you like! ;)

The beer is ?4.00 from the makers in Cornwall + transport + the Patch costs = seems to be fair price ?


Shall we get the Administrator to rename this the East Dulwich Negative Forum or start another one for you '-'s' ?

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
