Now you're talking, borg. I'll see you in the queue.

Maybe because the 2 kids under the age of 10 that died on nunhead lane in road accidents in the last 10 years have pulled the figures down dramatically. Fuck your sausage roll jokes, how about you focus on the fact that your local council Executive have dicked around for 10 years diverting funding to everything on the other side of the rye to secure your votes. Good on them.

Ooh, rhetoric. Go on, what?

That it immediately makes it more interesting than the majority of ED?

Most of Nunhead is a cemetery that has been used as a contaminated waste dump for the past umpteen years.


A word of well meant advice to people who buy veg from Honor Oak Allotments holders: In the late 90s the allotment society removed a lot of top soil from one of the affected areas for use on the allotments. I have the correspondence advising the relevant LBS officer that this was happening, plus his reply to them telling them not to do it. Not a definition of healthy veggies.

Perfect manly Mr Vinceayre,


I refute your claims that I do not know much about your shop. I'll have you know that I dispense my housekeeper to your establishment on a regular basis, ignoring any concerns for her safety - it is practically in Peckham you know (OHMYGOD!). Indeed, if it were not for your nonchelant attitude towards the health and indeed the marriages of the local population, I would not currently be enslaved to my damn Power Plate.


I am completely addicted to your confectionary (swoon).


Shame on you young man, I am a married lady of almost forty years with a nubile young au pair around the house to compete for my husbands attentions. Have you no idea of the lengths I must go to in order to work off these excessive calories?


I have a young family to think of (sob)...

Mr Vinceayre,


I am almost forty years old (shhh) and I assure you that I shall look substantially older when I am married forty years, despite the ready availability of various injectible substances at a beauty emporium not a twenty minute stroll from your own fine establishment.


If you are unkind to me, I shall have Albena (my enormous Bulgarian housekeeper) give you a thick ear, but I shall never stop indulging in your fine confectionery (sigh)!

"I bought a sausage-roll in Greggs in Lewisham last year. Louisa would have been proud of me.

It was easily the worst thing I have ever eaten"


Do you know that there are branches of Greggs in Brussels? Shamefully, it's true.

On topic, I have no idea why people live shorter lives in Nunhead.

Multiple factors contribute to life expectancy but on the whole it is pretty solid reflection of the socio-economic status of the population. People in lower socio-economic groups tend to die earlier - whether it is due to smoking, alcohol, diet (including sausage roll intake), obesity, access to/ use of healthcare or a combination of the above so you would expect Dulwich to have a higher life expectancy than some of the surrounding areas.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
