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SE22 mag has become increasingly irrelevant - the Rumours section quickly became hilariously out of date and fairly pointless now that we have the likes of Macroban on the internet thingamiggy keeping us well informed.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.

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
