You're right, the music made it, that's what's missing from the normal Saturday market. They have music (in various forms) every week at the Herne Hill market which is amazing... Come on East Dulwich!! 🎵

I was a little disappointed with the shops on LL not really getting in to the spirit of it all - a few balloons here and there and St Christopher's Hospice with a stall outside trying to capture passersby,who clearly had more important, non charitable things on their mind (given the look on some people's face), attention.

I thought the whole day was meant to be focused on ED community and traders not just NCR... shame.

I spent all day with those wonderful ladies, hilarious isn't the word {I was their steward} !! Children were either amazed or terrified but the brilliant folk that were out and about were fantastic. I'm at a meeting with the Council Events team on Wednesday so any comments can/will be passed on-- good or bad

I think it wasn't advertised very well as it did actually go up lordship lane right to captured on the rye on pellet road by the patch which was the magnolia ! They were spin painting and I had my jams and jelly stall and we had carol singers etc and also push studio had a Christmas market open yesterday . Nothing to say apart from abit on the back of a flyer that they were on . Shame

The stalls were great down NCR but the music was just too loud for me. Something gentle in the background is lovely but my head was splitting by the time we'd walked the full length. Shame, my purse came home a lot fuller than it would have done if the decibels were a few less. Perhaps we were there at the wrong time.

I didn't know anything about a market at Push studios - would have gone if I'd known.

I went down on the off chance to have a pre Christmas browse to get me in the spirit. Wonderfully organised, if somewhat too loud for me. I too would have stayed longer had it not been so crowded and painfully ear drum ringing. Nevermind, can't please everyone.

I was at Football Millwall..


Would love to of seen Chris Shaw... Lovely man.. have not seen him for many many years...


Chris playing his Melodeon whilst standing up... Doing both at the same time can be a bit tricky :)


As compensation Millwall won, beating The Current FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic 2-1.

There were some cool elderly bearded people playing a weird english folk/sea shanty music. They were really good but struggled to get the mainly white, affluent middle class crowd to get dancing. I reckon if I'd had some more of that plum cider I would have been up for busting some moves.

Well, it was fun joining in with the dancing (at last I discover the true advantage of being stoney broke!)

    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard.
