My last post seems to have disappeared from the thread????


:-S



Edited to say: It said that I felt that trying to compare entertainment was trying to compare chalk and cheese ... where's it gone?!


On request I had cleaned up this thread so that a number irrelevant messages were removed, the original poster wants to keep this as "on topic" as possible - The Administrator

Hoopers is 100 yards from having an SE22 post code and less than 500 yards from ED station. However its 1/2 mile from Denmark Hill station and a mile from Camberwell Green. Yes you're correct its got a Camberwell post code but how many people define where they live by their post code. People live in areas that border other areas which means there are blurred definitions. No boundary will please everyone but using a post code strikes me as being clumsy.

As I said before: "The border will be SE22/East Dulwich only, we have to draw a line somewhere and the SE22 border seems like the most obvious way to do it, but we would consider moving it based on nominations received."


To expand further, say Hoopers gets nominated for something then we'll include because it's close by the SE22 border, however if The White Hart in Bath was nominated then we won't include it because it's not close by the SE22 border. This seems like an obvious way to do it to us but please let us know if you have a better suggestion.


Categories are being decided tomorrow, any more good suggestions?

Postcode snobbery. Oglander, Ondine and Coplestone Road are all SE15. A matter of minutes from East Dulwich Station. Hayes Grove is SE22. It is adjacent to Copleston Road. St. John's Church on East Dulwich Road is SE22. The school attached on Adys Road is SE15!!!!! The lovely new chocolate shop in Bellenden Road is SE15. Bellenden Village innit!


I like the way your mind works JamesG.

Cate & JamesG, all the places you mention are great, as are other places in Peckham/Camberwell. Believe me, if I could vote for Ganapati, I would in a flash, but they simply are not in East Dulwich, and if these are the East Dulwich awards arranged by the people at the East Dulwich Forum, I don't see how you can call that snobbery, it is just geography, plain and simple.


I doubt organisers of a Peckham awards, of Forest Hill awards would allow someone to noninante the Bishop.

Keef, my point is simple. Defining East Dulwich by post code is crude and simple. Hoopers for example (with a Camberwell postcode) is considerably closer to the social centre of ED than Camberwell. We do not dictate our purchasing behaviour or social behaviour by postcodes. For example I may go out for a drink in Clapham but not SW12!!! If when voting starts there are considerable votes for The Duke in Nunhead for example it should be registered and counted. After all the purpose is to ascertain where we like going/shoping/eating etc ?locally?, not where we like going up to a set of road boundaries as defined by the Royal Mail in the 60?s!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
