ur not the crazy guy on the 176 bus a few weeks ago who, as soon as the bus hit ED, started ranting loudly & going mental abt how crap ED is & started swearing at everyone who got off in ED - he seemed to rate penge..

Yeah man, I want my money back - I've been conned too.


I thought I was buying into a low-key but reasonably pleasant London suburb with some decent houses which we could still afford, with a few nice parks, plenty of families so family friendly, a few bars and the odd restaurant or two.


Turns out it's nothing but a low-key but reasonably pleasant London suburb with some decent houses which we could still afford, with a few nice parks, plenty of families so family friendly, a few bars and the odd restaurant or two.


I can't believe I've been such a fool.

LOL...I'll take the average good denizen of The Elephant and Castle over the average Good Burgher of East Dulwich any day.


No cancel that!


I'll take the average inhabitant of The Elephant and Castle circa 1955-1980 where I was born and I grew up.


Most, would do anything for you.


Not so sure these days, though they might assist you with House Clearance, if required.

Who said East Dulwich was sh+t?? Please tell me and I'll have a word in their shell-like Rosie.


I mean, I know I didn't and I'm sure you're not saying that so who?


Name Names!


Secondly, if you or anyone else think that I'm going to let a comment like this go unanswered


"If ever there was an area to be underwhelmed by, that's it. " by Pickle at 8.13PM you're very much mistaken.


btw You are being rather selective aren't you Rosie?


I was RESPONDING to a criticism of the Area where I was Born and had an idyllic childhood and Youth so its all right for someone or some people to slag off MY Hometown but not all right for me to reply, accordingly?


How does that work?

Now I don't know if you are pulling my plonker or not Rosie.:))...but I can tell you that that area was totally safe, you could play out all day and night, as children and walk home at 3.00 AM/4.00AM without a care in the World, as Adults.


The people had little but "most" would do anything for each other and there was a real Community Spirit, I have to say.


The irony is that I actually praised Dulwich,generally, just 2 minutes later on The East Dulwich Issues Page on the "Is Alleyns School a Cuckoo?" thread as follows:


"Alleyns is one of the Jewels In The Crown of Dulwich. ".

Yeah you could even teach it to change the red light bulb when it blows.

    • Another bakery staple in days gone by - bread pudding. Place bakers(?) where Harry's is now always used to sell big chunks of this. I think Morrisons also used to sell it in a packet of 2 slices. Are bakeries now just dumping their unsold bread? I make bread pudding regularly - use reduced bread from supermarkets ( loaf cost me 22p) and last time made 3 batches one for us plus two for friends.
    • Went to thee Viet place in LL some time ago and got charged £9 for a pot of tea  Hubby paid bill and did not notice that they had overcharged. Frequently go past the old Moulin restaurant- rarely see people in it. No indication whether they are providing meals as no menu outside (unless they have pit it up in last few days) Got impression that it was a wine bar only. Love Dulwich is usually busy between 12 - 2 pm when they have their lunch time specials  not been there in evening or weekends. 
    • They're a supplement, usually made from whey, which are used after weight training. The theory is that weight training tears the muscle fibres (Feel The Burn, No Pain No Gain, etc), protein helps repair this and aid lean muscle growth. The faster you can get protein into your system, the better, so obviously liquids are absorbed faster than solids Beans, poached egg or peanut butter on toast, are pretty typical post training meals to achieve the same thing. They're much like a very thin milkshake or Slim fast, so nothing anabolic. I used them when I was training three or four times a week and the results were pretty good, if I do say so myself.   Cross-post with Ianr
