greta idea,


hhhmmmm i will have to start thinking... also much careful consideration into what I mean by 'best' ie if nomination for restaurant,

value for money,

food,

service,

atmosphere,

people,

owner,

interior,

best credit crunch offer... etc


wonder what we all mean by 'best'... will be interested to find out!!!

Most Child Friendly Place


So, should this be renamed "Best school"?


Best newcomer (in the last 2 years)


Can anyone maybe come up with a list of newcomers within the last 2 years? I can think of The Magnolia, The "new" Plough (not sure if that will count, but it is basically as different from the old plough as the magnolia is from the magdalla, or even more so), Locale, +venture, White Stuff...


I can't really think of any others, The Black Cherry, Licorice, and Green & Blue are all over 2 years aren't they?

Seriously Keef? Off the top of my head... ED Warehouse, Green Cuisine, Foxtons, Dream Machine, Hoopers, the new curry place, Lucas bakery, Mrs Robinson boutique, The Lodge, Davina shoes, Magnolia, Locale, Balfes Bikes, ESPH, Franklins Deli (at least I think they're newcomers but I can check). There's bound to be more but of course if you don't have a favourite newcomer then don't nominate one when the time comes.

I never siad I didn't want to play, I just couldn't think of lots off the top of my head. I've never heard of a couple of those, and was sure places like Mrs Robinson boutique had been there longer, and Hoopers is in Peckham, but that has been discussed.


Can't believe I didn't think of Dream Machine though.


Can you clarify if The Plough will count? Completely redecorated, and new owners, feels as much like a "new" pub as the mag does... That said, if it was included I'd be torn between the two.

Great categories.


Me and the missus have had a shot at picking ours. One thing that did come out of that was that we had differing views on what was the intended answer for Best Customer Service Experience - was it to be a particular shop / bar / person or was it a specific experience at a specific time when someone in one of these places did something superlative in the field of customer service (e.g. the missus remembers someone on a stall in NCR nattering to her mother for 15 mins once)?

If too many people interpreted it as the latter, we thought that it would be difficult to pick a winner.


Do we need clarification on that one?

Hi Karter, we did think about "Best Dressed Window Display" but not all shops have a dressed window display (but they all have a front), "Best Shop Front" gives more shops the opportunity to be included in the awards.


And yes bossboss, we're aiming to get flyers/posters out to the nominees where possible, raising sponsorship will help us achieve this and make as many people aware if it as possible.


And re: Hoopers, as mentioned in the original thread about the awards, "the border will be SE22/East Dulwich, 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."

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
