I eat rice cakes.


They're usually somewhere between around 85p and ?1.20 a packet, depending where you buy them.


The other day I went into Somerfield. They had two kinds (same brand, same size) - sesame and plain.


The sesame ones were around a quid.


The plain ones had a big notice "Low Fat" and the price had shot up to ?1.50.


The thing is - all rice cakes are low fat! They're just made of, er, rice.


There's nothing you could do to them to make them lower in fat than they already are.


Rip-off or what?

Not sure whether citing a Somerfield price fix can be fairly represented as an 'East Dulwich rip-off' unless you have reason to believe that similar pricing doesn't apply in their other branches.


And while I too wish I could find a good and reasonable haircut around here I don't think you can cry foul just because the hairdresser doesn't cut much off. A haircut is a haircut. Cutting off a foot of hair wouldn't take much longer, it's the finish that takes the time.

A dry trim??


That really is a total rip-off.


I was always told you couldn't cut hair properly unless it was wet, and if someone tried to cut mine dry I'd walk out.


They should at least wet it to cut it even if you don't want to pay to have it washed and dried.

I think it's a bit rich that a standard bottle of Jack Daniels is ?2 more in DKH than at Forest hill Sainsbury's but I follow the simple rule that where ever you open your wallet in east Dulwich you're usually getting ripped off. Apparently posting bail at Dulwich nick is twice as much as at Lewisham police castle, the cheek.

Rental prices in East Dulwich are a joke. We moved from a two bedroom flat on the second floor to a five bedroom palace in Sevenoaks with a pond, chicken run and a massive backyard that leads onto a private park for the same amount of money. And it is only 25 mins from London Bridge.


Bargain.


Join me.... come join me.... I'm lonely.

Yes, but its sevenoaks - what kind of life is that ?


whenever I go through places like this, past the nice little Italian chain resurants and nicey nicey little shops , my subconscious picks up a thousand silent screams from its residents,as the realisation begins to dawn that this idyll of suburbia is their own personal verison of hell and there is no escape until death comes calling

Imagine what you could save if you were prepared to go slightly father afield?

I read that as "venison of hell" - something to do with Bambi's mother .....


:))

yeah and once you have been to the cinema (if there is one) and the one theatre (if there is one) and the few restaurants, and walked along the river, what else is there to do in these places?

It takes me more than a week to read London's Time Out, by which time the next edition comes out and I have not been out the house yet!

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
