I think I spotted you, Yosemite Sam lookalike right?

You came a stompin' out, paused, did a double take and rubbed your eyes, then went back in rubbed your eyes once more and walked out again muttering something about 'young uns and womenfolk'.

Actually, I said 'How is it that it's a fucking weekday, and I still can't get a fucking seat to have a fucking coffee in this fucking coffee shop. Lazy fucking mums. Fucking that's why. Lazy fucking mums.'


I do recognize that I have an little anger problem before I have my coffee, so sorry mums. Not your fault.

Or a DulwichMum column.

Well, all I can say is we must be lucky to live in a place like East Dulwich if the worst people have to cope with is finding their way round the odd buggy and misbehaved child.


I've no plans to ever have a family, but I like the fact East Dulwich is a family area, gives me some sense of security that its a generally safe area, and means it's not too noisy and I can get a good night's sleep.


So, every once in a while I have to step out of my way on Lordship Lane to get past a buggy. Big deal, the fact other people are having kids means there will be people out working funding the NHS when I am old and need it!


In the grand scheme of things to worry about, this really doesn't register.

Thank you James , for actually seeing the point I was trying to make , I see it as a valued one as well . I have observed many a situation and shaken my head in dismay . For example bus journeys , when i was a child we were asked to vacate our seats for adults , nowadays the mother - parent stands and lets the child sit down , I would make my child stand up nd offer a seat to an adult , and if i wanted my child safe they would sit on my knee like we all did . urgh ! I cannot belie ve the responses , altho it makes me laugh that most have been about the acceess ways of the butchers ! xx see you have made me move my rant onto buses , I am nt a hater of children , i just dislike the way 30 somethings pander to their offspring , who is the boss here ?
...Eek, can I say, I'm a childless 'early' 30-something, and I quite living among young families in ED -- they always look quite happy and content. I'm doing a phd at King's and it makes me feel pretty settled -- however, it's good to have younger urbanites to keep the place young and trendy ;p *I count myself in that band of course*

Hi All


I live in Chislehurst which is a bit like ED but without the drug dealing and gun crime, it also has a Cafe Nero which is stuffed full of Yummies and three wheel prams so i think the problem is obviously Cafe Nero it must attract them like bees to honey. The solution for all the peeps who cant stand the Yummies or their sprogs is find a place that has no hope of a Nero opening and move there.

What a nice comment - well said - too many people slag off young families in ED but even the younger people will most likely be parents some time, so its nice to hear someone who does not yet have children saying something positive. And I agree most people in ED with young children do seem happy, and most importantly the children seem happy. (not like when I was young, we were all miserable).

    • Would you like a copy of my spreadsheet? It's hours of fun.
    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
