While working in this website all that you see is the written word, or att. Pictures.

How often are you engrossed in sending a message or answering one, with the Television going in the background.

A certain advert is blasted out by a well known booming person, that distracts you from your computer.

How many others would love a button that when pushed would show that person the mid air after the explosion under his seat?

Am I the only person to think this.

CS, good to see you posting.

TV/radio/stereo can be a distraction at times, but it's up to YOU to turn the darned thing off !!

However, I'd like such a button for cold-callers at my front door, perhaps a trap door to a snake pit or an ejector paving slab which will catapault them a couple of blocks away !

I was thinking more of a toilet plunger over his mouth to silence him.

Good idea the Bell shocker,and the coal hole trap flap.

Sweeny Tod type shute to bake house, can't recomend the pies though.

Tazer O.K. but he is still there.

Unusual I enjoyed his " Who do you think you are? "

Computed - did you know a lady, Evelyn, at 199 Crystal Palace Rd ?

It was a clock makers (her Father) at time of, and after, WWII. I believe she has a brother, she's around 82 now.

She told me a story about the bomb that landed behind the pub nearby and all the ceilings in her house came down.

When she was telling me this I wondered if you'd known her when you lived in ED.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
