Thanks guys



I've been trying to put an ad on this site for more business as I've relocated my registered office address, but it's been really difficult trying to speak to Admin or Mark. I've completed the web form but nothing, not even a response..


Any pointers would be a big help please, thanks again..

Au contraire - there is a lot going on in West Dulwich proper; the WD forum gets clogged up with 'cheap kitchens from Runcorn' and 'Moncler ski jackets' spam which puts a lot of people off...

easy now LadyN


I like WD plenty enough, but to say "a lot" going on is a bit overdefensive?


The WDF has never ever been busy - it's traffic spikes coincided when people start threads sniping at ED or EDF


and WD itself doesn't have a beating heart like LL or Rye Lane. And that's ok, that has pluses too. But "a lot going on"? Seems to be pushing it

a lot less bitching than where LadyN


because it sounds to me like it's you who is bitching here


The shops on Croxted Road are fine. As I said I like WD plenty enough. But the shops on Croxted Road - well, they are smaller and more spreadout aren't they? And if you head out of an evening your options are limited right? Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing - not at all. But "plenty going on" and a "beating heart" it ain't


I'm not quite sure why you think that statement constitutes criticism in any way?

It's like saying the canning, buddha jazz a launderette and a corner shop constitute the beating heart of Denmark Hill Village (pronounced villahsz).

It is a bit of a stretch isn't it.

Clearly west dulwich can do a chip on a sholder just as well as the east side! ;-P

Oh come on, WD is terminally vanilla, it's the Tunbridge Wells of south london


I lived near there for long enough and i'm trying to think what I miss about the place


Erm......ah oh yes


Kurt's Coffee truck

Sausage rolls from the bakery. Actually I do miss the old bakery, when it had those orange lights, orange is my favourite colour

And the bookshop, which I do still use, so technically I don't miss it


I miss waiting at the traffic lights or taking my life in my own hands and crossing the Croxted road and barclays bank is a corker, yeah and the waiting in line in Tesco's


I'm sure there's more

You obviously didn't live near enough Annette Curtain - it's a Lloyds Bank not a Barclays where the staff know me by name (along with all the other shops round here); countdown pedestrian lights at Croxted Road mean you don't have to dodge the cars; I'd rather smell of vanilla than LL....


Bored with this now - you all love ED, I love WD and will vigorously defend it, its beating heart and its plentiful community spirit...

I get the same treatment in HSBC on Victoria Street (Westminster) but I don't live there... dunno what that has to do with how wonderful (or not - depending on opinion) a particular area is if that what your point is? *shrugs*

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
