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.

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
