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.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Spartacus · Posted

      These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January.

      Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.

      Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
