> But, I don't have a 9-5 job


I thought we were talking about "career" women. If anyone has managed to find a "career" that involves working just 9-5 on a regular basis they are doing damn well. I often work 9 hour days, and have been known to be still in the office at gone midnight. I wish I could work less, but in a climate where redundancies could be round the corner, being the one to say I am not working late when the rest of the team are doesn't seem like a great career move.


Frankly I quite like the fact that East Dulwich is relatively family orientated - means when I get home from work dead beat it's not so noisy that I can't get to sleep! And at least with people around in the area during the day I somehow feel my home is a little safer - less likely to come home to a burgled flat if people are going to get seen breaking in.

There are all kinds of women living in East Dulwich. ALL kinds - from mothers taking a breather in a coffee shop for some sanity to career women to artists to lesbians. And I like it for that. And incidentally why the hell shouldn't a mother go to a coffee shop? Should she stop interacting with her friends socially because she has a child? I don't have children, but I'm well into my 30s so do have a bit of maturity.


To suggest the only women in East Dulwich are mothers in coffee shops without careers is a little bit...young?

Oh Angela7-11 sweetie, why don't you just try to drop a couple of dress sizes, get yourself a GHD hair straightener, your teeth whitened, and perhaps have a couple of sessions with the personal shopper at Fenwick (a life coach might help too!). Maybe even you can get yourself a boyfriend and discover the joys of married love. Babies are where it is at lovely girl, don't fight that feeling.


A girl can never, ever, have enough money you know. Get yourself a lovely man and settle down! With the two of your working, you can be doubly wealthy. You know you want to.

dulwichmum, i'd rather die slowly which i could do by boring myself to death reading your website.


' decided to throw caution to the wind and caught the number 3 bus where I sat upstairs in the front row and experienced all of the exhilaration and thrills of a trip on a roller coaster ? what a hoot'


i can't imagine anything worse than becoming you. thank god, i'm not gonna move to ed. don't bother responding. i am too busy to read any more tosh.

Actually (Damn, I hate people who start sentences with AKshully), I heard ED was the Lesbian capital of London.


Indeed. I know a couple of lezzaroos(one is Australian) who got married recently in Amsterdam(they said) and are specifically moving to ED as many of their Lesbian friends have already taken up residence in recent years as they like the feel and vibe of the area.

14 minutes to reply to DM's post, and "too busy to read any more of this tosh"? Bless you.


Come on, Angie, make the call. Sit on your hands and treat my post with the silent contempt it deserves, or send me one of your withering put-downs. Can't wait to find out which you go for.

Not sure if angela was a troll or not. Agree that the original title to the thread wasn't exactly going to make her a friend of the mums, but still have to say I read threads like this, and can't help but get a bit annoyed at the reactions of some mums and dads.


"And to disparage mothers who "lounge around" in such shows a terrible lack of respect for those who are doing the toughest (and most important) job in the world."


"I don't think you'd be very welcome with comments like that - move to Catford instead!"


Really grates just as much as the opposite side.

I know where you're coming from, but Angela's post was deeply patronising, and smacked of a certain, how shall we say, immaturity, you can hardly blame mum's for getting riled?


She could have just said "whoops, that came out a bit wrong" but went on the attack instead, which did come across as a tad trollsome. Though frankly the whole exchange was hilarious.


I was asking a genuine question earlier mind, I really would like to know where Angela's chosen...any word yet Angela?

You don't think so, Keef?


I've moved between a few areas of London and obviously investigated each one a little before doing so.


None of my investigations, however, involved posting a thread on the local gossipvine entitled "I'm thinking of moving to your area but I'm put off by the fact that it seems to be full of complete knobs". Posted twice, actually - in two different sections.

Then sitting back to enjoy the indignant flames for a while and finishing with "I've decided not to move here now, on account of it being full of complete knobs".

Angela the Troll has tripped tropped off elsewhere. She didn't win any friends and she didn't influence anyone. That's rather sad when you think about it.


It would make for a very dull forum if we all sat round agreeing with each other though huh?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
