Michael Palaeologus Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The Lounge provides for any non-ED specific items, surely?I agree that the strength of the ED Forum is its close and local focus.

Keef Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I believe people prefer associating their area with a name such as East Dulwich rather then a code like SE22/SE15 borders. It's nicer to relate to a name, "Where did you grow up?" "Well I was born in RH12, lived in HS1 for a bit them settled in BA14", doesn't quite seem as personal.Yeah totally agree, sorry wasn't suggesting this be the SE22 forum. I personally just don't like the name "the lounge". But hey ho, I'm not losing sleep over it, and I'm sure the world will keep turning either way...

Ted Max Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I personally just don't like the name "the lounge"Sitting or drawing room would be preferable, I am inclined to agree.

Moos Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I suppose if we had 'ED Issues' and 'Beyond ED' there might be less of a feeling that what is now 'the Lounge' is for trivia: it's sometimes referred to as the 'less serious' part of the Forum. In reality quite often the ED Issues is full of threads about very minor things like bus times and what someone thinks of the service in a particular caf?, whereas the Lounge will be full of passionate debate about politics or ethics. Of course there's room for all kinds of discussions, and clearly people want to talk about serious issues both local and general, and have a laugh as well - I'm not suggesting either is less valuable. I'm not a big fan of calling it 'the Lounge' either, but I'd never have thought to mention it had someone else not brought it up, the title is really not important.

Brendan Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Dead exciting this today innit. Initiating hostilities with Nunhead on one front whilst offering an olive branch to Forest Hill on the other by inviting them to neutral ground in Peckham who is also poking its head into proceedings. I?m just waiting for someone to invade Poland.
