I'm not saying that at all. OK, I agree that citing Bulger was perhaps over-extreme and alarmist. But I get the feeling that being protective of a child in such a scenario is seen by some as a bit odd and pathetic! Your initial, rather sarcastic, comment being a case in point.

I went in there with my small children and one of them weed all over the floor. The staff were very helpful and not unfriendly in fact they acted like it wasnt a problem. And they cleared it up.

I think I might try this as a litmus test for friendliness around ED. How do staff react to child weeing on floor.

MightyRoar, what a good test! And we don't have to limit it to our wonderful Lordship Lane; no! We can take our weeing toddlers to Heals, Fenwicks and Harvey Nicks too and see how graciously they cope.


Eventually we could compile a guide, like the Michellin! This is a great idea - any publishers out there?!

      Childminder / Nanny needed in East Dulwich

      By Jojo_B · Posted

      Hi there, We are currently having issues with our current nursery in ED, and are looking for an excellent childminder or nanny locally. We live on Melbourne Grove so can walk within a 5-10 min radius. Ideally to start in January 2026 please. We have a 14 month old girl. Any recommendation for other childcare providers would be appreciated too! Thanks a lot, Jojo

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By bunnie · Posted

      Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.

      Albrighton Community Fridge, Dog Kennel Hill

      Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
