I totally agree...

I often feel like I'm in a creche when I'm paying good money to eat breakfast or lunch, or even just a coffee in one of the local eateries.

I'm not a child hater..far from it..HOWEVER I do find the whole of ED seems to be catering for the buggy brigade more and more.

Would've thought most people would walk/use public transport - it's hardly an isolated spot!


ETA - looking at the website, thin key mean free street parking as opposed to the Herne Hill location which had restrictions on many of the roads nearby.

there is a great cafe in melbourne which has a cafe with supervised soft play attached. you pay for x amount of minutes and send your kid off to play with a nanny watching over them. you can see them through a glass wall.


it def aimed at families but its good for everyone as the kids are off in a separate area playing while the grownups are having their coffees or whatever.

Then sell your house, move to the Outer Hebrides and buy an acre of land just to park your car.


Vast majority will walk there anyway.

Oh no, I live on a near-by road and I don't think I had understood the enormity of what is happening here.

Could you provide a bit more detail as to what form this disaster will take?

I understand the comments regarding cafes catering for kids but I think part of the reason that so many of the cafes are over-run with buggies is because the area is lacking in a space that is big enough and that caters specifically for that market.

As a parent of 2 young kids I hate having to squeeze into small places that are inappropriate such as Blue Mountain, (formerly) Lucas and Duck Egg because you know that its not really geared up for hordes of children and you have to shuffle around apologising for your buggies being in the way etc. I welcome a big space that has been well thought out and meets the needs of the huge population of young kids in East Dulwich and would imagine that if it is a success it will free up all the other cafes for people who don't have kids to sit peacefully or work etc. All in all it has to be a good thing, particularly because the old cafe was rarely busy and didnt work. As someone said before, its great that it is being used!

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..

      Green/Sedum Flat Roof

      By ElenaR · Posted

      Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      By vladi · Posted

      Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
