very much looking forward to trying it out I have to say...I've lived around here since the late 90s, and I have found myself arranging to do things more locally then I used to, rather than in town, e.g. my birthday this weekend, meeting friends in my local pub saturday night & having sunday lunch with visiting family on the lane...nice to have one more place to go to add to the list (tho the only paper I've read recently is the odd metro on my rare rail commute, so will I be allowed in not having purchased a Guardian ?) Louisa you are the only one banging on about how "guardian readers" want to oppress the lane, no one is saying you have to love a new restaurant, if it's not your preference thats great, don't go, I wouldn't if it wasn't my thing..rather than being personal & derogative about people who might go because of the class bracket you think they are in. Having a different opinion is fine, being insulting isn't & IS trolling.

Benvenuti Burro E Salvia, Its great we have another Italian opening up. Being Italian of course I am going to be biased, however I think the great collection of shops Italian, French, Asian and of course British restaurants is a great testament, to East Dulwich.

Buona Fortuna

Welcome to the area! Any idea of when you might be opening your doors?


And in response to some earlier posts:


Surely it is neither the landlord's nor the new tenant's fault when an old tenant leaves?

Don't quite understand why fingers are always pointed in these directions when a shop closes?

I'm in agreement Otta. I too wish them well, and I'm sure they have done their research on the area before opening up here. Just a bit disappointing that we have more Italian places when the area no longer has anywhere you can get a decent sit down Mexican meal, amongst other world culinary delights.

To be fair, it's not only Louisa / Dulwichfox. When the sweetshop closed, and the dog shop took it's place, (stupid) people said some really harsh things, as if the dog shop owner had personally gone in and trashed the sweet shop business, rather than taking on an available shop.

Haha, I used to LOVE the Tex Mex place, but not sure they ever served anything that could honestly be described as a "decent Mexican meal".


It was bloody great though.

They became a bit of an institution along the lane, I still miss them. If Tortilla or something similar comes to the area I'll be happy. And I agree Otta, LM and others have very short memories when it comes to picking people out of the crowd and accusing them of negativity. My main point is a bit of variety would be nice, I'm not being negative towards these people as I've already said. The negativity towards the new dog shop was hardly welcoming but the folk so willing to attack my opinions on this thread were oddly quiet on that one. Strange.


Louisa.

Right - that's kills it for me - I thought he'd be Italian.


And before anyone takes me literally again ...... don't.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
