We already have Godwin's Law", namely that as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1. Perhaps there should be an EDF Class Law providing that as an EDF discussion grows longer, the probability of an argument about class approaches 1.

@ Roundabout - if that is a question rather than a statement then the answer is yes, certainly in the early seventies ie: 42 yrs ago it was, as I had a Saturday job there, but defected to the Co-op next door (now the row of estate agents) as they offered me Friday evenings as well!!!!!!!

Most of the estate agents were already here back then as far as I remember!


I don't think the number of independent shops has really declined either.

I thought that used to be a furniture store in the late 80's.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
