When it come to Street Cred.


Funny how people on here go on about what a wonderful meal they have had at / from..


Ganapati -- Olivelli -- Yama Momo -- The Begging Bowl -- Franklins -- The Palmerston -- Belair -- The Crooked Well.


Only Louisa and myself ever admit to going to Kebab & Wine.


How on Earth have they survived 30 so years.

Yes - everyone sometimes overdoes the drink at the EDT, and then ends up in K&W for some chips etc to soak it up on the way home... Doesn't really make it a place to have a "wonderful meal...."

No. But they sure do make us all know about it when they do..


No one goes on about having a good breakfast in Johnnies Caf?.

Come on Foxy baby, you have to work with us, you have to kinda let us in to the joke too !!


BTW.

At 1600hrs on a Friday the Great Exhibition turns into a massive pram park, 10 Mum's nursing a half. Point of mentioning it is... I had a WONDERFUL SANDWICH there (before baby-fest started) !

Comparison with K&W needs no explanation.


You went to the Great Exhibition for a sandwich ? A SANDWICH.. ?


Link on how to make a basic sandwich 9 steps with pictures.... http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Sandwich


You can use your an alternative filling. and you do not need to use sliced bread. Experiment. its fun.

Fox - you say it's light hearted banter -my sides have split btw - but lets be honest. The only chip you have is a massive class one on your shoulder i.e that it's "not for the likes of you".


From the Olivelli thread:


Dulwich Fox: "Looked in today.. Looks very Smart. Far too posh for likes of me"


Get over it Foxy. It's great if you prefer your Ayres/K&W/EDT combo. Nobody is knocking you. It's where you feel comfortable. But there is no kind of exclusion policy for these "poncey" places. Who gives a shit? You've lived in up and coming ED. Feel sad and reflect on the changes by all means ...but ounce you've lifted yourself from that malaise/analysis why not embrace some of it and try it out?


You might just experience the tiniest fleck of joy old chap. :-)

Mr Ben.. I never seem to understand a word you say or what you are getting at...

'It's great if you prefer your Ayres/K&W/EDT combo. ' What does that mean. ?

Sounds like a bit of inverse Snobbery.


Once again you have hi-jacked what was meant to be a light hearted thread.


You continue to throw insult. You always do. But I guess that's all you know.


You Quoted me as saying


Dulwich Fox: "Looked in today.. Looks very Smart. Far too posh for likes of me"


Was a light hearted aside and I can assure you there are very few places where I might feel uncomfortable

or out of place.


If I liked Pizza or any other Italian food for that matter I would happily eat there.


So get off my case. Haven't you got any homework to do. ?

Foxy: "You went to the Great Exhibition for a sandwich ? A SANDWICH.. ? "


No, I went there for a pint, then I had another pint, then i realised the only food i could get there without buying a proper meal was sandwich, so I had a pint and a sandwich.

Weird man, shit just happens. But it was..........WONDERFUL..... !!


I know, I know, a sandwich is no more than two pizzas turned face-to-face and cut in two served on a saucer !

The only snobbery I see on this forum is from the posh types who are unwilling to embrace or try out old school ED. But if the likes of the fox don't wish to be ripped off in some fancy pants blow-in joint they're accused of "inverse snobbery" for not trying it out. It's ironically funny.

What was meant as a 'light hearted thread' turns into tit for tat slanging match. Quelle surprise when you start banging on about how it's only you and Louisa that frequent K&W.


You have to pay to get into K&W (late nights) now & even then only if your face fits. Pretty elitist eh! ;)


Also DF the homework jibe isn't very nice, seems quite ageist and I suspect wouldn't be appreciated if it were the other way around & you were berated for being 'old'. Or am I missing the joke/point?

If you are referring to yourself Quids (I'm sure you are), why don't you do something about it?


The deserters and infrequent posters are probably bored at seeing nothing worth commenting on.

And instead of complaining that posts are a tedious load of drivel, bear in mind that at least we are starting threads in order to pass the time and have people to talk to.


So it would be good if you could encourage the regulars to post more often by doing what you do best, start some interesting threads!

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By LondonFermentation · Posted

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
