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.


+Handbrake turn+

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.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
