Iceland. Whenever I go in, the guys and girls who work here always put a smile on my face. Helpful staff, chatty, sense of real community. Such a great addition to the area. I'm sure any regular Iceland user would agree.

Ah - what great idea for a thread!

For me and my kids today its the lovely lady who runs 'Kids Club' at the Brixton Picturehouse on a Saturday morning (I know, I know, not quite in ED). She is always cheery, has only kind and uplifting comments to make, is full of enthusiasm and joy and makes our trip there!

ToastEd - great food, wine and service. And unlike anywhere else.

[Pickle]

The service at Plough DIY. Service with a smile no matter how small the purchase, genuinely nice staff.

The newsagent/post office on Forest Hill Road. I use it often, and love that I can chat to the post office staff about their families, they ask after mine, and the guys that run the shop are great. Makes me feel part of the community every time I go in.

The great people at the bakery just up from foxton's (hirst's?)

Pat, Christine, Frannie and co... you make my and Jacks day:)

My partner lost his wallet and my son lost his phone. got a call from a club in peckham and a shop in ed - all reunited - this in last week.

The ham at William Rose. Cheaper than Sainsbury's and much nicer. Also do vg pork pies.

[Seabag]

Agree RPC, the ham is handsome as are the Dingly Dell pork chops

It's not raining today

Nice time to visit Herne Hill market

Great all we need is a bad news thread and then it will be so easy to navigate this Forum!

[Robert Poste's Child]

The whole forum is a bad news thread. Oh sorry, straying into what's out of scope.

Lots of lilac and wisteria in blossom still.

My neighbours, all of whom are lovelier than I deserve.

[Sue]

Seeing all the flowers in bloom in people's front gardens whilst out and about :)

Blissfully quiet lunchtime on Friday (I think it was) with no planes, builders, alarms, sirens or shrieking, just birdsong :)

[Treeviews]

The food in Toasted, especially tasty lamb & then salted chocolate tart.

Beer from BossMan.

Sausage rolls from The ED Deli.

Helpful advice & unusual gifts in The Cheese Block.

Anything DIY you need from the ED home ware store (opposite the bishop)

Babur Indian delivery

Great/friendly bike servicing on Northcross Road market

Aneto's coffee & service

[Sue]

Oddono's - We recently had ice creams at Marine Ices at Chalk Farm, and it made me realise how lucky we are to have Oddono's in ED - much much nicer ice cream, quite a bit cheaper if memory serves, and much better service :)

And totally agree with Treeview re ToastEd's salted chocolate tart, if that was the one with the raspberries too - probably the most yummy thing I've eaten this year so far :)

Oh, and let's not forget to say Positive and Nice things about Foxy for starting this thread :))

All the contributors who post on this forum.....makes for such an interesting and diverse read.

Rekindling my support of Dulwich Hamlet FC this season after more than 40 years has been very enjoyable and great fun. Can't wait for next season.

My local butcher Kim Libretto on Wood Vale. A top bloke with the best cuts of meat and sound advice on how to cook it. Always a pleasure to visit his shop.

The staff at the Great Exhibition. I miss the old CPT greatly but the staff at The Expo (as I call it) has made the transition easy. The sun's out - time for a few afternoon drinks in the fresh air.

The Castle - proper old school boozer with the finest Guinness in Dulwich and the best place to watch sport locally.

Easycome at the White Horse in Peckham on Wednesday nights. Top night out.

The Gowlett - great pub with blooming lovely pizza and the fact they sell one of my favourite ales. Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

Not getting washed or dressed until late Monday afternoon. Time for that drink now I think.

Oooh....I almost forget. The Fat White Family for being the best band on the planet right now.

Weekday lunch at the Patch. There is something especially pleasing and decadent about long weekday lunches in general my mind...

[PeckhamRose]

elise5, a EDFer who came round my house with a fabulous box of chocolates when I was expecting a Bounty Bar, in exchange for the item I was selling/giving away. She was soooo nice and friendly. Love meeting folks from EDF!

[Nigello]

The contractors at the house just up the hill from Jenny Eclair's, who have removed the grafitti on their hoardings (and to the man on the corner of Friern/Goodrich Roads who paints over the nasty tagging his walls seem to attract).

Wish I could say the same for all those folk with overhanging tree branches and bushes.....

[Salsaboy]

I had a really nice bacon and cheese toasted baguette today.

[????]

I think we are within 8-12 months of an

"it's impossible to sell a house in East Dulwich " thread, which will be very amusing

[intexasatthe moment]

The very glitzy/OTT furniture shop at junction of Highshore and Rye Lane . I went in to ask if they had an old chair for an elderly man who was feeling unwell outside .

They said " sure ,which one would you like ? " and they weren't being sarcastic ! Just instantly helpful .

Though how they make a living I@m not sure . I never see anyone in there buying anything .

[maritap]

The ladies that work in His Lordship launderette..always very polite, happy and helpful
