Burro e Salvia, the artisan fresh pasta shop of Shoreditch, is opening in East Dulwich in January. Fresh pasta will be made on the premises on a daily basis to buy and bring home, and a few seats will be available to dine in. And of course the fun pasta workshops will be organised as well on a monthly basis. A new neighbour to the much loved foodie corner with Moxon's, Franklin's, William Rose...www.burroesalvia.co.uk

What are you talking about... ?


I have praised many local businesses


Dulwich Tandoori


Jaflong


Hisar


EDT


Dulwich DIY


I even wrote that I thought the recent refurb of Manco Franca was the best refurb ever. even if I don't eat pizza.


I wrote good reports about Locale in when they were around.


Praised Icelands Too down market for many here.


Hirst's Bakery


I give credit to any place that gives me good service..


I had a shop in Uplands road in 1993. I was one of the first people to have a shop here

when North Cross was virtually derelict.

Foxy, it's not that you're down on all businesses, but you definitely come across to me, from your comments, as someone who plainly preferred LL as it was 5, 10 or 15 years ago and would rather it went back to that. And your list of businesses above rather reinforces that to me.

LM I priase a lot of local businesses too in fact I even recall having to promote local indepedents on here some had not visited before in the area such as Ayres and Sopers. I am a regular at the Kebab and Wine and Iceland too. I'm all about retail diversity, what angers me is pretentious shops aimed at pretentious people who float into ED wanting the Chelsea lifestyle on a south of the river budget. How many estate agents/pizza/indian/Italian/gift shops does one area need?


Louisa.

LondonMix or anyone else here..


Take a stroll with me down Lordship lane any time of day and just see how many

people know me and even wave.


I'm well known to many local businesses and on friendly terms.


Siduhe..


Lordship lane and North Cross have developed over the 35 years I have been here in East Dulwich.

I used Curry Cabin back in 1972 when the guy still there was 16. When I lived in Peckham.


...and Golden Tandoori (N.C. Rd) back in the early eighties even before Faruk was there and there was

a Indian lady serving food. One of the very few Indian rests. open on a Sunday afternoon.


The Turkish deli was once Greek and owned by a friend of mine's family.


I have seen many changes and probably know LL as well as anyone else here.


So I have continued to adopt to change over the years...


..But I agree with Louisa in what she said above..

edcam, the jist seems to be.... curry is good and helps you live longer. Having 8 curry houses on the lane is great and they last without doing much visible business because they are busy all the time. Italian food on the other hand is bad and we have too many Italian eateries. Cafes / coffee shops generally are also bad - why bother when you can do it at home?

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
