Having now been back in ED for just over a year and seen the huge changes that have occurred, I was wondering what do East Dulwichites now do to move themselves up into the true classification of middle class?


Do people still follow the old tried and tested methods of:


Join the PTA and then move up to School Governor


Join a local Police Consultation Board and then move up to Magistrate


Join the Committee of a Local Community Centre and then move up to local Councillor


Join the Rotary Club and then move up to the Freemasons


Join the local Mum's Club and then move up to the W.I.


Join the local Pub Darts team and then move up to the local Golf Club



or do East Dulwichites not bother these days and just unilaterally declare themselves Middle Class by virtue of their postcode?

Reminds me of a guy I went out with a few times who kept referring to me as a nice, middle-class girl his mother would approve of. I couldn't find the heart to tell him that he would do better to check whether being middle class was something I also aspired to, so I'm afraid he had to go.

Not quite solitary confinement, Seabag, just the back of beyond due to a work posting. Mind you, solitary might have been preferable looking back over the years......!!!!!

      Up the reform

      if anyone believes Reform is a party they can trust then they really don't need to be insulted by me - they are doing all the damage themselves If people don't like the state the country is in they should question why Farage fought for Brexit and why it continues to damage the country so much. He and you will splutter it wasn't done properly but if you can't see the contradictions I can't help you

      By Angelina · Posted

      It's not incredibly difficult to understand that people vote Reform because they don't want the Tories back and they don't like Labour and they don't like the state the country is in. It hardly makes them "criminally negligent" - in fact, Sepiroth,  you can just stop insulting people just because you don't like what they have to say - it doesn't really add to your credibility. While Sep says "What the country needs is a serious, mature electorate", what the country REALLY needs is a party that we can trust - and that we do not have.  There is no point at all in having a serious and mature electorate if we don't have a serious and mature party to get vote for.

      No mow May

      mine's the same - use shears, then mow, but I only do a part of the lawn - the rest is covered in daisies, violets and other flowers, so I leave it. I have to be very careful though - we have slow worms
