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.

      Franklins is being sold

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.

      Has anyone had the front of a terraced house painted?

      By malumbu · Posted

      How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.

      Be careful on the pavements...

      Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
