Barking dogs at night in ED- why does everyone have a shouty greyhound/ whippet


Clean air- once upon a time, you could walk the bracing streets of SE22 ingesting a healthy amount of Lead and particulates- now everyone has a bloody wood burner, so the place smells like bonfire night


bloody friggin bleeding blow ins.etc


if they like country living so much, why dont they go and live there . at least cut out the bloody middleman of the Clapham-SE22-Whitstable cycle....


eh ? eh ?

You should walk down my road on a chilly Winter's night, or a Summer evening numbers


Sydenham too is awash with smoke & outdoor grill aromatics


It's hell, but we are still 'Staffy' heavy with a light wippet contention making a show of late


I give it two years before we finally 'go to the dogs'

Of course Ot's right but generally, misplaced pronunciation aside perhaps, I'm on the side of the grammar feds. Nothing wrong with being gently persuaded to adopt proper usage.


Though if anyone could persuade a certain poster to use 'would have' or 'would've' or 'could have' or 'could've' instead of 'would of' or 'could of' then, for my money, they could split infinitives until the cows come slowly home.

Years ago a mate of mine posted on here. He's a bright bloke but can't spell for toffee, and some arsehole basically dismissed him completely on the basis that his spelling was bad, never mind the fact that he was making a valid point. Since then it's been a real pet hate of mine.


Although some grammar things do wind me up, but who REALLY gives a shit?

    • I was talking to my brother in the law last weekend who works for a different water company. He said he and his colleagues watch TW’s woes with a mixed of horror, disbelief and then relief that they work for a different water company. Worth a watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00284vt
    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
