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

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Lots of good points there mal but wasn’t it the same electorate who are now so angry that kept voting them back in?   for me 2015 was the pivotal moment. Pre Corbyn, but after 5 years of austerity, Cameron should never have been allowed back in

      If you’re looking for a curly hair specialist I can highly recommend Kinson near Clock House station (or ten mins walk from Kent House).

      Up the reform

      By malumbu · Posted

      The unnecessary austerity under the coalition, hammering public services, and then subsequent Tory governments not investing when interest rates were rock bottom screwed the country.  These were before COVID and Ukraine which the Tories used as an excuse.  There is no good reason to vote Reform; they have a platform of returning Britain to something it never was. The left of Labour parties, IE Greens and LDs are the only sensible alternative.   This is not letting Labour off the hook; worryingly they already seem to be veering to the right.
