The Campaign for a Real East Dulwich.

East Dulwich, not East Clapham


I've noticed some of you like a moan about the possible future of ED and the dangers of it becoming clapham etc. Why don't you all get togther under a banner and start lobbying people, handing out leaflets, even staging events to get into the SLP or even the nationals. It may be that some chains wouldn't like the negative publicity.



i would do it but i don't really think its a problem

The dreaded fate of Claphamisation can be defined as follows:


Where snooty, blonde, pony-tailed 32 year old lasses in Crew rugby shirts, capri pants and Todds loafers whizz out of a series of estate agents (where they have been sourcing ?900,000 houses) and crash their Bugaboo prams (plus offspring) heedlessly into your legs with a fetching sneer and shove off (sans apology).


And that, my friends, is Claphamisation. Is this really what we want!!? ('Yes!!' shout all the EDForum blokes in a loud chorus.)


spymum


(Blog: Posh Mum)

however for full claphamisation we need a swarming of australian 18-22 year-old who live 15-to-a-bedroom and work behind all the local bars. We are also lacking with the everpresent scent of barbeque and the sounds of drunken games of ozzy rules and ultimate frisbee.

add to the mix clueless recent Oxbridge/Durham/Bristol/St. Andrews graduates in rugby shirts whose daddies are subbing their rent (because otherwise their ?16K grad job in publishing sales would only stretch to a flat in a black area), who only feel comfortable in aesthetically unthreatening cafes/clubs/boozers e.g. All Bar One/Cafe Nero that remind them of the provincial spa towns they grew up in, and are positively terrified of being exposed to any of the, y'know, culture/difference/heterogeny that London has to offer


Clapham should be reclassified as part of Berkshire in my opinion....


p.s. i acknowledge that this is snobbery, but at least it's posh-on-posh

JoeChuff, you are spot on!


But has someone forgotten a fleet of Audi TTs driven by men in deck shoes and rugby shirts who look like Shrek but bray like David Cameron? They spend their days boasting about what exotic animal they last ate and how much profit they have made by buying for investment purposes.

Oh, Ant et al!


You are sooo describing my darling husband! Every single item in his wardrobe. By the way, a Rolex watch is currently considered 'old hat', it is Jaeger LeCoultre or Longines, clearly. The current car of choice is now an Aston Martin DB9. I would offer you all a lift tomorrow night, but I shall be leaving the car(s) at home as I shall be drinking Hurrah!

    • My husband is currently a full-time carer for our two disabled children, and he’s keen to get back into paid work where he can fit it around our family needs. He’s immediately available and looking for local handyman work — from snagging and DIY jobs to gardening or general fixing-up. He’s capable, practical, and reliable, with plenty of hands-on experience restoring and maintaining, including with heritage/listed properties. If you have a to-do list you never quite get to, or need help with those annoying finishing touches, he’d be happy to help. Please drop him a message if you’d like to chat or check availability. 07968345884
    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
