W13... how could you?Sorry, but the missus moved jobs and the ED commute was hell for her. Then we decided to escape the rat race for a while and become ski instructors for a couple of years. Soon, back to reality though. Ew.It's a very nice part of W13. Sort of the East Dulwich of the West. Except it has a tube station.

Brendan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I never wanted to leave ED but alas circumstance forced my hand. My family has however settled in really nicely out here. Me, well I ride a skateboard to work, do yoga and think comic books are an art form. What in the name of all the gods am I doing in Surrey?I am pretty good at drinking wine and speaking to people about their jobs in venues as monochrome as the audis parked outside. It is afterall a professional necessity. But fuck me if I'm not getting sick of doing it for 'fun'.

Brendan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I didn't do the cricket though. At least I don't think I did.

Twirly Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Well it's comforting to know that I'll be in good company then!Brendan, we are moving to Surrey, technically speaking, though I'm still thinking of it as London...Loz, MrTwirly has a similar plan as I can't find anything similar where we're going. Every area should have it's own version of the EDF!Anyway, we're only 40 minutes away in the car, am sure we'll be back over occasionally. And I can keep an eye out on here for the latest "in" places to book for lunch when we do...

StraferJack Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 My post count has trended downwards for a long time now, so it?s entirely possible the move might tip me overBut it wouldn?t be a ?I no longer live here, so long suckers? flounce ? it would be more of a ?dear Lord but it hasn?t been fun posting on here for a looong time and god knows it?s only habit and the occasional flurry of activity from the more intelligent posters that keeps me coming back, but they constitute a diminishing percentage of the forum population so really, why do I do it?? type thingAnd even having said that ? it?s still better than any other locale-based forum I?ve come across Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/40016-how-many-ex-east-dulwichites-are-still-active-on-the-edf/page/2/#findComment-710215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Remember 2009. Back then we used to have proper "the forum isn't what it used to be' posts.I put it all down to me (and my massive ego) leaving the area.

Cassius Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Left ED over 18th months ago and still occasionally visit - that's both the forum and the area. I'll certainly still post about particular bug bears or favourites and as I do come and see friends it is good to know where to eat and what to do when I am here - although some of my friends seem to find it slightly annoying that I know more about the area when I am many miles away than they do when they still live here.

Rocky742 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I left ED when I joined the RAF in 1954. Still look back with fond memoriesI was born in Jennings Rd, lived there through the war, went to Heber Rd school when it had a bell tower. When I look at Google street maps, I know it's 60yrs ago, but I have trouble recognising places. Hey Ho, would like to come back sometime Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/40016-how-many-ex-east-dulwichites-are-still-active-on-the-edf/page/2/#findComment-710888 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratty Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Left in 1998 after 4 years, came back in 2002 and left last April (26th) after 12 years.Lurk and titter probably every other day. ED has changed too much for me to miss it too much, but I wish there was a Goose Green play park near me! There are quite a few ex-ED where I live now strangely!Loz, I had no idea you had left!!
