Now I think of it, my friends already know I live here, so when on those days I tell them my location, they do that gripping my upper arms while shaking them, looking me in the eye and saying "Yes I know, it's OK. It's OK" thing that they do.

Comforting so it is.

My colleagues though.

DON'T YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT MY COLLEAGUES. WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION? WHO PUT YOU IN CHARGE?? EH??


I actually like to keep work and private life seperate, actually. If it's all the same to you.

A few months back a comedy show on radio 4 featured a stand up who was doing a schtick based around his eastend cockerney upbringing, but then moved on to his new girlfriend: "she's proper middle class- lives in East Dulwich, been skiing, everything..."


That said, my Cardiff City-supporting cousins know I live in Millwall territory and have the same attitude as Quids' mates.

totally that... Then I go on to explain how lovely it is in ED but eyes generally glaze over at this point..

When people ask me how I get by without the tube I just laugh uncontrollably. Why the f**k would I want to spend hours of my summer in a packed, dirty, sweaty sardine can controlled by Bob Crow and his bunch of merry arseh*les? Viva South East London...

Probably the same way the majority of the population of the UK manage to get by without the Tube. Guess they uses buses, trains, taxis and stuff.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
