I know, which kinda makes a mockery of the whole ''what did I do?!'' schtick*...



*This weeks new word. Next week - pontification...slight pause after pon for added effect

Earlier I was going to say that I thought foxy was a good egg, but could be painfully negative.


Then I read

I actually agree with foxy 100% on the above.


And this is why at times O think Louisa can't help herself, because with some posters there is a certain level of smugness. I also find it personally insulting when people suggest that before the year 2000 when it was miraculously saved, ED was a total dump. It bloody well wasn't!

This sums it up perfectly for me. Well done Otta.


That smug attitude you refer to, mostly from a group of people in the main section, needs to be put in its place freon time to time. The people who hunted me down and requested my removal from the forum are those very people.


I have my memories of this place, and it wasn't a dump before you lot arrived, I grew up here and lived and loved here. I don't need to be patronised by a few people about what I can and can't say about East Dulwich. The area wasn't saved when you moved here, it had a thriving community even if the high street wasn't to your liking.

Blimey. That really is banishment.

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
