I've never figured out why Lordship has become a yuppie hub, I'm in my 40's now but I still have memories of Lordship Lane as a kid when it was tacky and uncool, especially the Tesco..possibly the worst supermarket for miles, staffed by retards (sorry meant to say they were not customer centric)

When I come into money, I will be opening a pokey, dingy retro '80s bar called "glAss war" ( with the usual Anarchist "A" symbol ) & decorating the interior with pages from radical '80s literature eg " die yuppie scum" headlines & " another Royal parasite" and portraits of Derek Hatton and suchlike


A worthy succesor to inside 72


Sadly, this would probabaly do quite well amongst the clapham diasapora with their kids clad in Ironic Che & Militant Tshirts ( Families welcome until 9PM / Bar menu available/ We only use fair trade coffee in our lattes )

That's a point, did anyone actually see the body, or did the Bolivians let him go off to peaceful retirement in S E London?

How come you're not in the People's Republic of Tooting Keef, but stuck here with the Clapham Bourgeois immigrants huh...huh?

Snorky darling,


Will you provide soya milk for your lattes?


And Pagey dear heart, to refer to people as "retards" is jolly unkind and un PC and just well - "un" everything actually. I am afraid that it is to the naughty step with you. If I hear any more of this disgraceful chit chat, I shall slap your legs and get my house-keeper to wash your mouth out with soap.

hey dulwichmum, you're right I deserve a stern reprimand..it was a moment of madness due to work related stress in the City. Staff weren't retards, they merely lacked customer focus ( is that better ?)


Country is in dire need of good news like Cliff Richard announces his musical retirement..gosh that would really cheer up the nation

Darling Pagey,


I forgive you. You can come off the step now.


However, I shall be watching you closely in future (said putting hands on hips).


I don't know. I step outside for five minutes and the tone gets lowered (running perfectly manicureed hands through glossy brunette mane).


Shall I open a bottle then? Anyone for Chablis?

Yes I remember the days when Lordship Lane wasn't so yuppified! Me and sisters and friends used to go to the Magdala Friday and Saturday nights and you couldn't move as it was disco night! This is going back early 80's.


Also late 70's early 80's the Somerfield used to be International and I used to take my Mum shopping in my car.


Lordship Lane was really dreary then - nothing like now - why can't the same thing happen to Camberwell?

#I know, it was all so simple then, but has time rewritten every line.#

Come a Friday, a fellow with money in his pocket, and lust in his loins could find a companion.

For an evening. If not a night. But like Gladys Knight & The Pips, it's all changed. And not for the better.

The chances of meeting an old fashioned one-night-stand slag are now remote in the SE22 area. Or are they?

I gather a chap has to 'go forrin', and as far as Peckham or Camberwell for that sort of thing, nowadays.

I wonder what happened to the Pips?

    • 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.
