Don't go over reaching yourself there Louisa


How do you propose to "dress as a Yummy Mummy" I wonder ?

Or buy you a drink in Jan

Two in five Britons never read a book so he is not alone.

I've read many books in the past but simply do not have the time these days.

With digital cine-photography I'm don't know if they still dim the lights.

But as soon as they do, I'm fast asleep within 5-10 mins.

Same if I try and watch a film at home.

Wonderful people of East Dulwich!


You may have noticed that progress on the building work has been slower than expected. But we have all been working as hard as we can, and we are now pleased to announce that we will be opening our doors on ? drumroll please ? Friday 20 March. We promise it will be worth the wait!

More news soon...

So have I. But I don't like being patronised - nor indeed spoken to as if I was a small child. By way of example the previous FB item on the Picturehouse blamed the building work delay on Santa! I haven't believed in Santa since about 1957.

It's social media. Social media marketing is done by people under the age of 25. They believe that everyone else in the world is under the age of 25 too ? except for their parents and a few dribbling old people who watch "Countryfile". Even my bank talks like an excitable teenager on Facebook.

Err. No surprise . You posted a wildly optimistic opening schedule and some of us said so. There was never a change of a 2014 opening. Why pretend otherwise.

Why be so mean about it? You think they duped us all into joining by telling us it would open a mere 3 months earlier than they knew it would? What a pointless conspiracy! The building is old and being converted to a use never before imagined - I'm happy to accept they encountered unforseen obstacles and take the delay in good faith. Anyway, it's their cinema, not yours. Let them open it whenever they want. When it does, we'll go. What's the problem?

What he said, and I'm totally guilty of referring to my social media followers (I run a small biz) as 'lovely people' or whatever. It's better than 'utter w**kers of East Dulwich', although on reflection perhaps that would be more appropriate

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I may be a scrooge but to pay over £100 plus for a meal is a bit much. I understand that staff costs would be a high factor in this price and that being no transport on Christmas Day - pubs may have to pay car hire fees. The café in Christ Church will be doing a 3 course meal in the run up to Christmas for around £30 per head (Booking essential) so to charge an additional £60 plus seems somewhat unreasonable. The past few years, there have only been the 2 of us on Christmas Day, so we lash out and buy a lot of M & S food - ready prepared or with minimal cooking at a cost of between £30 and £40. We host the family Boxing Day onwards (8 - 10 people) spending around £60 on food and drink. Rather spend £100 for food etc over a couple of days rather than £200 for one meal. We are fortunate that we have the finances  to do this as many people are not able to do this. One family member with young children would find it hard to spend even £10 on a Christmas meal. Our kids come armed with plastic boxes to all family meals to take home any leftovers - so we are left with minimal waste- any veg and meat  get made into soup.

      That would be Dulwich Wood ward wouldn’t it? One of the wards Southwark added Nov ‘23. Maybe the estate against didn’t get the memo. Oh man what a shit show.

      If anyone had half an ounce of intelligence they would vote for the Green Party or a real socialist alternative. I have never, and will never back a bunch of ‘champagne socialists’ who have not done a single positive thing for working class people.    Louisa.

      That the leaders of our country are wealthy people comes as a shock to you? How ridiculous.  Why shouldn’t they be living in those houses?
