Is it just me, or is anyone else getting thoroughly sick and tired of all these mothers invading the coffee shops of East Dulwich day after day? I was in Caffe Nero the other day and thought I'd stepped into a nursery by mistake - the place was wall-to-wall mothers and their yapping offspring. I could barely hear myself think.


Do these people have nothing better to do all day than sit around sharing a skinny Cappuccino between four, whilst talking about house prices and speculating as to when M&S and/or Waitrose will arrive on Lordship Lane? Do they have no homes to go to? Don't they know that they can safely plonk their sprogs down in front of a Tweenies DVD and get laced into a bottle of Gin for the afternoon, before their hubby gets home after a hard day at the Stock Exchange?

Keef, I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Jeeze, just imagine what the cpt would be like if it were full of yummy mummies....mmmm, ok, maybe not soo bad, but screaming children, even quite children, they'd make me feel guilty about smoking, them with their beady cute eyes, looking at me, screaming at me....'but you're killing me...' *shudders*. Now, surely we should debate just how many coffe shops ed needs...


If I could, I'd Lounge meself.


*Lounged* (awaiting Mr Admins approval. Obviously)

*Bob* - I'm glad you love the thread that I have started. I hope I can continue to be as inspired with my subject matter in the future.


Oh, and by the way - the cure for cancer is coming along nicely. If only these damn babies would stop screaming for a few minutes I might yet have my Eureka moment.

Come on *Bob* - no need to pick on Louisa for no reason. She's been very pleasant of late and it's a bit mean to pick on someone on a thread where they haven't said anything


Is this thread about coffee places or the tired old subject of mums?


Both have been discussed to death hereabouts - I do remember being shocked years ago when I went to Pizza Express in the village (I was young) and how LOUD it was for a Thursday afternoon - but to be fair most of us are at work and if I was a mum/dad/au pair I would want out of the house so good luck to 'em I say


Far better to tootle of to Jack's for your cuppa Joe

    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!
