And offer your thoughts you did, DM.


Just wondered why you went on from there to offer insult and condescention (not to mention unpleasant speculation as to another forumite's circumstances and values) just because she disagreed with you over shoes. Entertaining as the 'Dulwichmum' persona is, you were using it to rather acid effect, wouldn't you say?

Hello DM, just read your reply now (posted just before I left for the weekend).


Very you? Well, very much the 'Dulwichmum' character certainly, a creation no doubt informed by your personal observation (obviously including the school gate bitchery!). I wouldn't know how much of the creator goes into the character.


My point was that while many on the EDF enjoy and willingly engage with DM, the whole Crocs thread was different- you actively sought out a couple of forumites in a hitherto light-hearted thread (one in particular) and made a point of being particularly rude to them- 'spoiling for a joust' as you called it. Not everyone creates an online persona, or is familiar with yours, so your remarks made 'in character' could easily cause offense.


That said, it seems your opponent on the thread is now giving as good as she gets and seems to be enjoying herself!


Anyway, lets not fall out- I shall be leaving a little something on the bar in the Quiet room as a goodwill gesture!

    • 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. 
    • 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.
