SE22 is delivered to some parts of Upland Road but not the whole road. If you used to get it but now don't, please let me know what number you are at and I will confirm if you are on the distribution list. Unfortunately I am unable to deliver to all of SE22, however as wee quinnie points out you can collect a copy at the library and also at various shops and bars in East Dulwich.


Just e-mail [email protected] if you want to check if you should be getting a copy. I appreciate knowing if there are any problems with delivery so I can try to rectify them.


Cheers

i also suspect that the publishers may be 'fiddling' with the print runs these days as a result of the ad revenue from estate agents having dropped off a cliff. The circulations are not audited and the biggest fixed cost for any publisher is print & distribution, which is the first to go in a downturn. The old living south publishers pumped up the circulation during the good times (when it was owned by our old parent compnay) and they may now be concentrating on the higher value demographics in wimbledon / putney etc.

Living South mag is at least two thirds smaller than what it was 18 months ago.. I know this as I'm an advertiser and keep editions.


I do not think this is all because of the 'downturn' either, more i think because advertisers (who still exist!) have found more effective/ cheaper/ efficient ways to reach all corners of south London.


SE Magazines are great but owing to their popularity/ limited distribution not always easily found. And yes, am a big fan of print publishing in general but i was born in the '70s, which makes me officially old skool (apparently)! :)

I live in se22 and emailed asking why we never received se22 only to be told we were out of the catchment area for deliveries.


I have recently started receiving SE15 magazine despite living in se22 and not being able to receive se22 magazine?


Anyway having read the recent se22 and se15 i now realise they are both full of the same ads every month anyway so not really bothered anymore!


I much prefer living south magazine but havent received it for a while either.

I also the printed form better than this internet stuff or worse those e-books! I want the smell of a new book and to browse not download a file to an updated etch-a-sketch.


SE22 mag has become increasingly irrelevant - the Rumours section quickly became hilariously out of date and fairly pointless now that we have the likes of Macroban on the internet thingamiggy keeping us well informed. Even the property in the ads had always been sold by the time it went to press. And the early excitement of the newly arrived middle classees on learning of a long awaited fresh fish shop/bar/baby wear store opening is all looking a bit 2005 now. It'll be a gradual turnover of these established businesses to variants of the same and more chains from now on.


Then there was the My Week column, an exercise in mind boggling vanity on the editors part as she shared the minutae of her rather uneventful Dulwich week with us in detail. Like a printed blog but without the action.


The one exception? Roullier White's column e.g. "At Easter we love to have friends to stay.... and what better to sustain them than a quails egg souflee!". Brilliant.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
