I'm not really agreeing with BBW about Forest Hill, BUT, to say one place is better than another because it is in Zone 2, and has a nicer Sainsbury's (not even sure I agree there), really doesn't say much about either place. Forest Hill and Sydenham have much much nicer housing, and more trees, that is why I prefer it up this way. ED has the CPT, which is why I do most of my drinking down that way.


To be honest, the drugs haven't been great from either place for a while.

FH and Sydenham have lots of decent sized flats. Also some very nice tucked away corners in private roads.


I think we on the Upper East Side have as many if not more trees and open green spaces, while building/house/flat size matches FH/Sydenham/Crystal Palace. And the gardens on some roads here have to be seen to be believed. One estate agent called this road "the best kept secret in the area". But I can't reveal the secret or it will no longer be that :-S

I really couldn't give a damn who thinks what or where is better as long as you're happy where you are that's all that matters. This is all just playground stuff really. All of these places are nearby so you can enjoy all about what's good about them by visiting if you so desire. Whether one is better than the other is just bollocks. I couldn't give a shit.

No. From your description, it sounds like it's skunk, which I don't really go in for. Too much sitting like a zombie, not enough giggling at nonsense.

To be honest I'm getting a bit over SE22 with its over exposure on this forum and gradual erosion of any independent identity it had never mind the apathy as we watch it slide into commercial mediocrity. Sure it still has a lot going for it but if I was moving now I'd look at Sydenham which is amazing, Forest Hill or even Honor Oak (where you can get a 3 bed house for 275K and shortly a tube).


Drugs have been crap everywhere for years - last mass survey showed average cocaine purity has dropped from 73% in 1995 to 23% now which means it costs three times as much and gives you more of the trots as you play roulette with the other 50%. What's the point?!

Yes Keef, I'm afraid that it is Skunk.


I'm an occasional smoker (2 a day) and I rarely smoke during the week. I personal don't go in for all this new fangled silver Rizla's either. A two skin made with Swan smalls for me. I avoid the grinders as well, encourages laziness.


Do I sit about like a Zombie?


Well I'm afraid that the answer is all to often a great big phat yes. I often get incredibly hungry as well which forces me to eat alot of junk food as well.


Am I a bad person?


Yes. I'm a little shit that loves to get baked and arse about with fireworks and other such dangerous distractions. I also look at 'grown up' sites as well sometimes when I'm choking through a massive scud.


Do I giggle enough?


I do the Sunday Times crossword when I'm 'aloof' on pot. So should you!


Is Forest hill better than east Dulwich?


Of course it bloody well is!

Andystar,


The east Dulwich forum is awesome and the Forest hill forum sucks gash.


Forest hill as a place to live is far better than east Dulwich.


I don't decide these things, It's just the way things are.


Quids,


It has never been about me, it's about what's mine.

Good point Andy. I have to say ED is far better then HH. Although I have to admit, that the park on a weekend is a bit annoying with yummy mummies and there babies doing yoga, and the Sainsburys ain't much better either to be honest. All in all tho, we have much more going on than HH, plus we have North Cross Road, which is just brill!!


As for FH, we'll not go there.

Because Andy, we want him here, because he's funny, and lets face it lots of other people aren't.

If he's a timber wolf he would live in the Chelsea shed.


If he was an ardwolf he would just strut everywhere through life.


If he was a wolf in sheeps clothing he would live in Baaaaking.


As he is bigbadwolf I guess we're lumbered with him and all his nonsense until he wins the lottery so he can leave his FH lair.

      Happy birthday! I've just read a bunch of your reviews and really enjoyed it. You write Interestingly without being too ornate, and you manage to give a really good insight into the "vibe" of a place as well as the food. Totally agree with your review of Rocca - it's simple, great food in a friendly atmosphere at a completely reasonable price, esp considering the location.

      Seeking parent-to-be for infant observation

      By MillieB · Posted

      Hello,  I am a 52-year old mother and an integrative counsellor who lives and works in West Dulwich, SE21. In mid January I am starting a new training in Parent Infant Psychotherapy (helping parents to bond with their babies), and a key component of the course is a 24-month infant observation.  I’m looking for someone who will be giving birth ideally in January or February and who would allow me to observe their baby for one hour a week until the baby’s second birthday. The baby can be awake or asleep, playing, feeding, eating or interacting with carer/s and family members - whatever they normally do at that time.  The purpose of the observation is to enable me to gain a thorough knowledge of very early infant development and to develop the capacity to maintain an observationally minded and non-judgemental attitude in my work as an infant-parent psychotherapist.  I will provide enhanced DBS clearance and I’m happy to answer any questions.  Please forward this email to anyone who might be interested, email me at [email protected] or call me on 07949716043. I would be extremely grateful for any leads. Many thanks,  Millie  Millie Burton, MBACP Integrative Counsellor [email protected] millieburton.com

      I keep my promises...had the Sweet & Sour Chicken.  It was great - the best sweet and sour dish I've ever had. The chicken itself was good and the sauce seemed home made with real vegetables and pineapple - it is NOT the red sugar sauce goo you get elsewhere.  The Korean fried chicken was very good but the sweet chili sauce was much more chili than sweet - just far too spicy for me. There is a honey something sauce that I will get next time. Egg fried veggie rice was good as a side.  We also ordered the chicken katsu curry which was polished off so quickly I didn't get to taste it. It looked very good tho. SD is not like Magic Wok used to be - cheap and filling but junk food. (Don't get me wrong - I went often to Magic Wok). SD's food is much higher quality, real ingredients, chunky portions, freshly prepared. I'll be back, for sure.
