> 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?

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
