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.

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)

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

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.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).

      Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
