er......when you say chased you, do you mean you were running with your buggy and he was sprinting after you? 3 streets so what just outside the palmerston ? he left his shop un-attended or do you think he locked up first ? it just gets weirder and wierder, when you say fellow resident do mean the 2.8 miles of lordship lane or do you mean next door ? .............really nob-jockey !

AFN, I'm unsure of your motivation on this one - are you really suggesting that the many individuals who've had unfortunate experiences with this chap are making it up? What possible reason could they have?


Either way, differing opinions doesn't mean we should resort to name-calling does it? Have a cup of camomile.

Sorry to interject but whats a "Nob-jockey" please?..Is it a term appertaining to East Dulwich and its immediate environs or can one be a "Nob-jockey" further afield?

What does one have to do/be to become qualified or classified as a "Nob-jockey"(?)

I too have had an odd Fabric experience. I went in to by some muslin for my windows. The owner's father (I think it was) came in, looked me up and down and while looking at me said something about me in Russian or some such language to the owner. I don't think it was complimentary and I felt really humiliated. I haven't been back since. Fabric - you need to sharpen up your customer service pronto.

You,quite rightly,won't be russian back then!:))

Slummymummy - I think it's Turkish you heard, I seem to remember him saying he was originally from Turkey ?


Administrator - Did you change my last post to include ****? Other people have used the phrase (see above), but perhaps because I used all caps and it was more offensive? If so, apologies. Sentiment is still the same.

Yes. I do not usually attend threads in the Lounge but this one is close to becoming offensive towards an individual. Please be careful otherwise I will have to lock the thread, or maybe even remove it.

We cannot always tell if something is offensive especially in the Lounge area. As stated in the terms of use of the site, if you feel that something is offensive please notify us by reporting the message and we will act accordingly.

Administrator, why was my post considered offensive? I simply relayed my own personal experience - I certainly wasn't rude or unpleasant towards any other forum user.

I would have thought another forum user hurling childish names such as 'nob-jockey' is far more offensive.


I'm pretty cheesed off.

Surely you are having a laugh ????? you used the terms, Tool, Tosser, i could go on, and it was very specific to an individual.


I made an ironic statment about name calling to no-one imparticular and anyway as far as anyone else is concerned you are just a Cyber personality that really does not exist.


You would be more cheesed off if the whole thing got closed down due to legal action.


Camembert to you !

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
