I understand that was what was behind the 'Lordship Lane Incident.' A group of young fried chicken house food critics were debating the respective merits of Dallas Chicken n Ribs versus Texas Chicken House. Apparently it was alleged that Dallas is superior as you can dump yr BMX bike outside, thus blocking the bus stop and pavement, while you order from their a la carte menu. Another experienced chicken chomper sided with Texas as they give you more free salt sachets. Umbrage was taken and an unseemly fight broke out with the parties assaulting each other with wooden chip forks. It is for this reason alone that no-one was too seriously injured.

I love Favourite Fried chicken in ED. Just thought I'd share that with the world.

[Mick Mac]

When I first read this article I thought it must be from some journalist who has an axe to grid - perhaps she had bought a house in Clapham for extortionate money before finding out ED was 1) nicer and 2) cheaper. And her mother had then tried to console her by telling her ED was a sh1thole.

(that's before someone pointed out it was a hoax of course)

the f**kin woman is an idiot

It's a joke. Duh.

Dulwich Village is overrated.

[thebeard]

Pay 25% - 50% more and live further from central London ? for Wimbledon or Hampstead.?

Dulwich Village has been relatively underrated.

But then East Dulwich has more than made up for SE London.

[Sherwick]

Hampstead is nearer to central London than Dulwich, surely - or at least the same distance away?

[SeanMacGabhann]

according to walkit.com

Hampstead tube to Charing X = 4.4 miles

ED station to Charing X = 4.2 miles

[Horsebox]

ED FTW.

And here's the actual article...... http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/buying_and_selling/article6477607.ece

Bob, you are very mean (and funny).

The original author of the story you remixed is my wife. I lived in East Dulwich for 5-6 years (on Derwent Grove) and we now live in Denmark/Herne Hill.

[Ben G]

have to admit that was very funny!! and at the end of the day the times is just a posh tabloid for tweed jacket wearing putney residents so who actually cares !!!

Really?! Are there *any* 3+ bedroom houses in the area for less than ?5,500.00?!

[silverfox]

Doubt it. Have you got the comma and full stop in the wrong place?

By the way ED was featured on Newsnight last night with an interview with Pretty Pregnant about lack of lending by the banks to small businesses. Good shot down Lordship Lane with the Bishop featuring prominently. No Paul Yarrow in sight and no trouble or anti-social behaviour outside the Advenure Bar.

The article in question was over a year old? Prices about right for summer 09, but not '10.
