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?

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
