Oh I don't know. The Greek place and 24 hour Digital Photos? Who knows. But given this is one of the best read community forums in the UK, with 5000 odd registered users locally it struck me as odd and a little naive.


The New Rules for any retail opening expect you to have a well presented presence on the web and to embrace and ENGAGE with customers across the main social media channels. It won't go away. Hiding away and thinking you're special or that it's still 1987 doesn't work anymore. Unless you're an old school commoditised business like a launderette, a newsagents or a key cutting shop.


Those who ignore these basics tend to be grumpy business owners over a certain age, naive or just plain arrogant and think they're above it. They are not.

There'd have to be a little glass cabinet on the side of the bar with two cheese and onion rolls (min 2 days old) in it and the nuts would have to be BigD nuts on a card with a scantilly clad go-go dancer underneath - and a tin of Castella by the register for aunthenticity.

A saloon bar on one side (ETA: or do I mean public? It's all getting a bit hazy) and a lounge bar on the other. No comfy sofas or armchairs in either.


In the (unheated) ladies' loo, a green stain below the cold tap, the only one that works.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
