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.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
