You bizarrely missed Sydenham off this "ringers" list.

;-)

This forum is a big employer in the area and it creates industry.


Loads of useful trades make profit from it.


mlteenie with his 'ride to you' bicycle repairs, and boneyard's delivered upmarket meals, would have an uncomfortable time without it.


It also supplies mirth to the masses and lets us all know there are people out there who are very concerned about a death in the family.

Ha ha, we're too far out to even claim borders status, but I'm an ED original, and I'm sticking to that story :-)

The reason the ED Forum has more people posting in it than in the West Dulwich forum, is partly like someone in this forum pointed out. The ED forum doesn't really just cover the East Dulwich area it also covers other area's, that canny estate agents have told their client their house is in East Dulwich to con more money out of them, and they have choosen to believe them because of a bit of snobbery. Also because in West Dulwich our house's are so much more expensive therefore we have to work at our very well paid jobs to pay our morgtgages, instead of having lots of time to sit on this forum.B)
Yes but only the people who are being commented on have too much time on their hands. The people doing the commenting are frightfully busy and important and only snatching a moment from their hurried, busy, important days to locate a particular thread - almost at random, it has to happen so fast - and tell everyone else how much time they are wasting.

ON Google.


Search for anything remotely to do with east dulwich or not and you end up with a link to this forum.


Like ( plough diy ) it works for ( dulwich sushi ) too.


4th row down at worst and you get eastdulwich forum link.


NOTE you don't get west dulwich of dulwich village returned in the searches.

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.
