WDF another Dulwich forum

[Heat Firm]

Hello All

Anyone been to the WDF (http://www.westdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,14650)I've just registered and with the some user name is there any association?

[computedshorty]

They are both built by the same person.

So you will find a lot of us there,

There was another one nunheadforum but this has now been deleted.

[Otta]

It's been around a long time, but never got a lot if traffic, everyone just uses this one.

[Heat Firm]

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..

[LadyNorwood]

wrong - everyone does not use "this one"..... are you registered on WDF Otta??

LN I think Otta was just generalising...

You'd be surprised for a relatively "dead" forum that is WDF in comparison to here how many of those on this forum are also over on that one and not just in the names they use here.

[StraferJack]

I think admin of EDF assisted someone with setting up the WDF forum, gave hime the templates and pointers but I don't think it's his repsonsibility

Not sure if it's anyones now, may well be just orphaned?

[Otta]

Ladynorwood, I think I may have registered a long while back under a different name, but don't ever visit because as with West Dukwich proper, nothing nuch happens there.

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...

[StraferJack]

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

[LadyNorwood]

So the shops at Croxted Road don't constitute a beating heart? It's compact and everyone knows everyone else - we all look out for each other and there's a lot less bitching goes on....

[hpsaucey]

ON another note, sad the Nunhead one's died a death... but then again soudns like it never 'came to life' anyway.

[StraferJack]

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?

[El Pibe]

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

I like the 'about this forum' page the best

[Annette Curtain]

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

[LadyNorwood]

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...

[El Pibe]

Yeah, how would we cope without our muesli sandals in WD.

[Ted Max]

Is O' Sole Mio still there. Does the waiter still come round with his guitar singing, er, O' Sole Mio?

It's been da Porcini for about, well, let me see, thirteen years.......

[Ted Max]

13 years? FUCKOFFITHAS. 13 years?

I've got a voucher for a free starter, Tues-Thursday lunchtimes. Wonder if the lads in da Porcini will honour it?

What about the curtain exchange - still hanging in there? I said is it still...oh never mind.

[????]

Does their lunch still extend to three

and is there Tirasimu still for tea?

[Ted Max]

God! I will pack, and take a train,

And get me to West Dulwich once again!

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*

[*Bob*]

The curtain place did fair exchange,

Overpriced - but decent range.
