Since I've moved back to E Dulwich I've decided that I want to do everything locally, including working. So I'm planning to give up my job in the City and open an origami paper shop on Lordship Lane. I think I will call it 'Dulwich Origami'. I'm quite good at folding a wrap for storing small items when I'm out and about so I can guess it can't be too hard to learn some other folds/shapes and then run some origami classes from the shop. I just wondering what the level of local interest might be in origami?

Well I had a couple of enquiries re: renting a room out, but my wife wasn't keen on the idea when I told her. Someone sent me a PM with good advice on how to 'unsalt' halloumi. I'm still waiting for a recommendation for servicing the Merc though - hopefully someone will know a good garage.

What happened to Bob?

Tears was actually meant to be read like 'stairs' rather than 'steers'...

I think I will call it 'Dulwich Origami'


Great idea Bob, but some work needed on that name. Here are some suggestions to get you started, with some possible USP's for your business:


- Origami hand-folded by Buddhist monks: Paperchaste


- Exotic sweets with origami wrappers: Nippon Tuck


- Japanese emporium in Peckham: SamuRye


- or your original Lordship Lane origami shop idea: Crease Dulwich


Hope that's helpful x

One letter missing --


'Dulwich OrigaSmi' --


this version should increase footfall.

Thank you - I quite like 'Crease Dulwich' as that conveys the sense of what I want to do and also captures the local zeitgeist. I've been walking up and down Lordship Lane today looking for a suitable property - I couldn't see anything - but what about North Cross Road? Would anyone go there for an origami shop?

you will all be pleased to know that I finally realised BB is a nuisance with nothing better to do than post idiotic nonsense and meaningless rhetoric. its tiresome?! no wonder normal residents refrain from posting if this is the standard, which needs raising, methinks. It isn't even funny.

I am a normal resident with views and opinions I like to express and share.

    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
