I have lived in East Dulwich now for nearly six months but I am yet to really explore it. I am surprised that there is not at least one gay bar in East Dulwich considering the amount of straight venues there are on Lordship Lane. I am not against going into straight pubs but it would be nice to have a meeting place away from the gay ghettos of Soho and Vauxhall. There is surely enough gay/lesbian people in the area to have a gay bar.
"Welcome to the unrealistic and fictional land of ED circa 2007... unlike anywhere else in the UK, it manages to sustain a community of ex claphamites who were forced out of the slightly plusher areas of west London, and a whole host of overpriced independent boutiques and coffee shops which most people up and down the land wouldnt bother wasting their money in.. " God it was all a dream... wipes brow.. :))
I wonder if the rest of the UK could have a day in ED or one of her newly aquired step sister towns like Clapham or Fulham, and see how these people live... I imagine they would be laughing their heads off.. I cant imagine a yummy walking up and down Huddersfield popping into gregs to buy half a dozen chelsea buns and a sausage roll can you?

In the last few months I have been to


Sheffield

Cork (rural and city)

Devon


And I can honestly say that life there is pretty much as in ED - new bars, over priced gift shops, coffee-shop this, organic-that


So I don't think ED is some outpost the rest of the country would find odd...

To echo Sean in one of the other overlapping complaint threads, it's not East Dulwich that's changed, it's the whole bloomin' country. For ED read Letchworth, Brighton, Beverly; I bet you even Cleethorpes has coffee shops and maybe even a Tex Mex these days.


If louisa wants traditional victorian values I believe children in indentured work, polio and cholera is still quite popular in India.

    • No one is arguing that people should cycle without lights or reflectors. Obviously they should. It is also a legal requirement. But the colour of someone’s clothing? Is it ok to wear navy? What about green? What shade? At what point should we have ‘no reason for sympathy’ if they’re in a collision? I don’t want people to feel like they need special clothes just to walk or cycle. If you have lights and reflectors and you’re on well lit city streets, there is no reason why drivers shouldn’t be able to see you, assuming of course, that they're driving with due care and attention. But yes, if there are lots of people without lights, that should be addressed. I suspect in part, it's the change over in seasons and the fact that people are getting caught out by how early it's getting dark now (obviously no excuse).

    • What a passionate thread this is. I have worked in cycling for years, am a cyclist, a driver, use public transport etc. Driving last night with my two young kids, who also cycle, we made the same observations. It was the kids who first asked me why are most cyclists wearing full black and no lights. We then played a game who can spot all the cyclists, and count those with lights and those without. This teaches them to look out for them but also not to put themselves in a position where we have to strain to find them. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
