1: the only club you want to join these days is the 'Knackered Parents' one.

2: despite the naffness, you opt for the comfort of Crocs (men) and Fit flops (women)

3: you actually recognise all The Bill actors on every street corner, as you are always watching TV, after the kids have gone to bed, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

4: You could walk around Peckham Rye and Dulwich Parks blindfolded.

5: the highlight of your social calendar these days is the 1 O Clock club

6: you find juggling the demands of work (or not) and the extortionate cost of childcare leaves you permanently frazzled


I'm too knackered to think of anymore....

Re: You know you're an East Dulwichite when....


You are woken by people pulling small bags with wheels on as they find every crack and cranny on there way to work.

You do not get annoyed at people crossing the side roads on the lane without looking.

You notice that the operative on till seven in Somerfields is the fastest, and you take bets with other people queing.

You forgive the recycling team as they noisily go about there business, as they are our saviours.

You smile at the stall holders as they try to sell you art deco, when a better description would be scrap and tat.

You smile at the waste of resources in Foxtons, and note that soon they will be forced by rising costs and the downturn

in the market to make their own descision and turn off the large screen tv.


And finally..... You accept that Southwark Council are probably the best council there is!


Regards,

Libra Carr.

This thread is currently operating at a staggeringly low 10% EDF thermal efficiency (ETE) rating.


It is breathing in Crocs, unruly children, gifted children, children in buggies, Bill actors, claims to ED longevity, Foxtons, and Claphamite reverse-snobbery at a record rating, but generating a very low-heat output.


This is proof that some fuels just can't be re-used, once spent.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
