I love this idea, and may I also be so bold as to suggest a good quality ducking stool for Dulwich Park? I feel that if local vagabonds were aware that they would get to take the plunge, it could put them right off their carry on...

*rubs eyes, stares*

[itchyfeet]

An ice skating rink during Christmas time ...

[Toby]

A decent men's shoe shop

[KidKruger]

A decent group of vigilantes sniffing out the muggers and thieves and dishing-out some 'back at ya' mugging.

PS: Yeah no mens shoes around here, where DOES one get decent brogues ?

No it isn't. The staff are charming. The food is crap.

[Mick Mac]

I think I have to agree there to some extent - the food is ok but basic. It would be great to have a good Italian.

Merryfields does bespoke...if you have semi unlimited funds.

[Kingy]

Could do with some more shops selling stuff that nobody really needs and could happily get along without and a few more estate agents or 'property brokers' would be handy, also a distinct lack of 'trendy bars' and gastropubs

[KidKruger]

'bespoke' sounds pricey and my funds right now are NOT unlimited !!

mind you, i wonder sometimes whether an expensive pair of shoes would actually eventually pay off over time, when compared to say 3-4 pairs of cheaper shoes...

[si mangia]

hi Tallulah71 / Micmac etc.

somehow we've gone from 'amazing seafood pasta' - quote from your last comment about us a few months ago, to 'crap'. We still use the same ingredients and have the same chef. I guess you had a problem with us somewhere along the line, however, should you decide to return to Si Mangia at any point in the future - please make me aware as to who you are, and why you have changed your opinion so drastically.

If not, then it might be more productive to let the manager or staff know of any problem you have in any other establishment you might visit before making such a sweeping, and insulting, comment on a public forum.

Although it is only a small percentage of our customers that use this forum, all our customers are important to us.

Kind Regards,

[SeanMacGabhann]

And, it would now appear, irony

[h3+]

A phone shop. I appreciate that many contain people of dubious intelligence but they do come in handy.

[karter]

The shop by the station deals with moby fone stuff and seem to have a good selection of accessories, never used them though.

Si mangia is a great place to eat you muppets.

[huncamunca]

on a sensible note, mens traditional shoes on the Walworth road is the place to go for ..erm.. mens traditional shoes

[KidKruger]

cheers hunca will give MTS a butchers in a few days and see what they carry.

Decorum in the forum ;-)

My part of Dulwich,lacks proper traffic lights at the junction of Barry road and Underhill road.

The indiference of the council on this request,makes us voters wonder why we bothered.

The accidents at this junction have reached unaceptable proportions.

People are frightened to pull out in their cars.they have not got a clear view,others are terrified their children

will be killed on the pavement from crashing cars.

Maybe there isnt enough money in the currant climate,but I suggest they should take some money from whatever fund

they are using to tart up buildings,and fancy shard type symbols just to impress whoever is coming to see the Games,

And maybe they can sort out the black spot junction.

[Hill Dweller]

You're a fan of 'street furniture' then?

FHS that junction is looking so much better than it used to - when there was the car showroom, the humungous woodyard and the petrol station just along.

If that junction is an accident black spot I'm surprised and wouldn't see the point in putting it down to a lack of metal and coloured lights and certainly wouldn't be breathing panic about children being killed on pavements, unless I wanted to make them as hysterical as I would have to be.

As a current trendy slogan goes ..... keep calm and carry on.

[Jono55]

A Woolworths would be nice.

Or (failing that) some kind of Safari park, where animals and that can live, and we can drive around, and have picnics and sunshine filled days. Oh, but don't eat your picnics near the monkeys...what a hullabaloo that would cause!

a Nationwide would also suffice.

[Mrs Nicklin]

Some kind of Superdrug-type shop.

..and I second the small indie cinema notion.

[????]

a harbour

some jungle

Mountains

a world heritage site

just off the top of my head like

[Tarot]

A Proper farmers market.

A decent fish and chip shop.

Superdrug store, as already said .

Toilets.

Walking policeman plus an open working station.

A better medical centre.

Full use of Dulwich Hospital.

Less road humps.
