From my banishment, to gastropubs, the demise and resurrection of the Midland Bank and its various logos. What next? Hang on, I'll sort it for everyone. Hu-Hum........ Yummy mummy, Iceland, prams, gentrification, cheese on toast (pizza), blow-in, working class, ghosts. There we go. As you were.

Isn't this just so stupid?


You participate on a thread in the main section, then go to The Lounge and find that Louisa has started a 'Lounge Response' thread. So do you start the discussion again in the Lounge? Transfer your posts backwards & forwards?


Ridiculous. What is the point of having two threads with the same topic? If Louisa has something to say, she should be able to say it wherever she chooses. And if it's the general section & they can't cope with a difference of opinion, they are the ones with a problem.

Sorry AqM, I just had to respond I should have said its just my take on things and continue as you were in the main section. The minute I say anything these days people assume I'm on some wind up mission. It's disconcerting. I do genuinely believe that the community is for everyone whether that be ED, Peckham, Chelsea or Cannock Chase. Why should Peckham only be for some sections of the community and ed for others.


Let's not get this thread off topic too though. I apologise for taking things into the lounge.


Louisa.

Don't apologise Louisa. You're not at fault.


All I'm saying is that you shouldn't be forced into starting new threads in The Lounge because you can't participate in the general section. I rarely post there either but get the occasional urge. And if you get the occasional urge, you should be allowed to do it.

I had a read of the site. I always like to read computershorty's stuff.


There is a lot on non-ED stuff on there. Or haven't you looked at the site yet?

WHY ? WHY ? Why was my new post moved to the lounge ? I Was born in East Dulwich in the early 1950s, lived in a Prefab in Underhill Road, East Dulwich in the 1950s/60s, went to Heber Road School in East Dulwich, worked for Southwark Council pruning the trees in East Dulwich in the late 1960s & 1970s, got married and had two children in East Dulwich in the 1970s, my Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, were all born, lived & worked in East Dulwich and last of all my website is not just about Camberwell, there is a lot of memories/photos relating to East Dulwich which I thought might be of interest, seems not, In future I will not bother to inform the East Dulwich Forum of any new Material, Memories or Photos relating to East Dulwich if it is going to be moved to the lounge or is of no interest

JOHNNYBOY please keep posting up on here your website is extremely interesting to me and many other old school residents of ED. Without people like you sharing your memories, this forum would be a very dull place. Seems strange that anything mentioning 'new' stuff for 'new' residents is kept safe and sound in the main section, and yet as old timer ED residents all our stuff gets moved to the lounge. Clearly we aren't that important anymore. Sickening isn't it?

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
