How many ex-East Dulwichites are still active on the EDF?

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.

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]

I didn't do the cricket though. At least I don't think I did.

So Foxy & Sue live together?

[Twirly]

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...

With all the regular users of local ED amenities moving out.. They will have no customers.

Foxy will get his ED back. :)

You can take the person out of ED but you can't take the ED out of the person.

You saw me on the bus you fucker, and didn't say hello?? (oh wait, did you mean Annasfield?)

I been up east hanging with the hipsters, but still around and about. Saw that Otta one in EDT the other night.

My post count has trended downwards for a long time now, so it?s entirely possible the move might tip me over

But 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 thing

And even having said that ? it?s still better than any other locale-based forum I?ve come across

[Brendan]

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.

[????]

From 2010 onwards there were a whole load of "This Forum's really improved" posts

[Brendan]

I know. I saw your posts.

[Cassius]

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.

I left ED when I joined the RAF in 1954.

Still look back with fond memories

I 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

[the-e-dealer]

did i say that?

[ratty]

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!!
