After the recent online mistreatment of DF I have taken it upon myself to setup a special thread in appreciation of his contribution to this forum as well as the local community of East Dulwich over the years. He is an informative, engaging and thoroughly decent poster to this forum who has always explained himself before posting and in my opinion, never once gone out of his way to upset or goad anyone. Here's to DF, an ED institution.


Remember foxes are for life, not just for EDF folks amusement.

What mistreatment? I don't recall any personal comments, just a bit of (very) gentle ribbing.


Besides, he is quick to point out the difference between his online persona (one of perpetual negativity) with the real man (the man all the local shopkeepers wave to, the card tricks, etc). In which case he should consider any perceived "attacks" (even though they are nothing of the sort) to be aimed at the former.

My only criticism of DF (the online version at least) is that he seems to be genuinely incapable of saying "hands up, I was wrong about that", even when presented with irrefutable facts. Gets quite frustrating.


`And there was the time he ASKED FOR FEEDBACK about a website he was putting together, but then took offence at or argued with every single comment, even though lots of people were giving him the same advise.


But that aside he's a nice fella.

I've never met Dulwich Fox in person but in the forum I admire the way he manages to conduct himself with dignity even when the Lounge hounds (NB extended metaphor not a personal criticism of clique members past or present) are snapping at him.

Foxy is the only poster over the years I have tried to imagine them IRL. Saw a Bernard Cribbins lookalike outside Jaflong giving it a wistful look yesterday who is my most recent suspect.


May I suggest a croudsourced membership pack, a la, the old Dennis the Menace one, with a wallet and badge?

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
