Does anyone else take offence at these vile magazines that get stuffed through our letter boxes (see example cover in pic) whether we like it or not? These seem to be aimed at bling merchants into ostentatious wealth, which is Absolutely NOT Dulwich - East or Village. Are cake design trends a priority when people are visiting foodbanks. How can we stop them from soiling our doormats?


I realise I can (and do) bin them straightaway - but that's not the point.

I'd be happy enough if they'd just close our gate after inviting themselves onto our property. I'm guessing you don't quite bin them straightaway since you seem to be quite aware of the content. Perhaps you could skip reading them and bin them more immediately? There's just nothing quite like being offended at material you've chosen to spend time reading.
I have a no junk mail sticker but they (and all the other local mags) just ignore it. Not sure I'd call it offensive but I agree it doesn't reflect my experience of the area. But fair to say I'm not a fan of 'aspirational' (ie 90% advertising) magazines anyway - rooted in envy and tend to make you unhappy with what you've got!
They put it on there so people think they're getting something they'd ordinarily have to pay for. You can read the whole thing online for free. It's just adverts for estate agents, loft conversions and independent school open days, scattered with soppy bollocks stuff about people's weddings and GCSE level "fashion shoots".

Why is everyone in ED so fooking nasty nowadays?

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
