This morning I was crossing Rodwell Road when a very pregnant lady looked 'uncomfortable' (to say the least), I asked if she was ok and then it was fairly obvious she'd gone into labour - I feel like I've been bear hugged! A lovely family on the corner of Rodwell/Crystal Palace road took us into their house, a couple of others phoned the ambulance (one was a GP thank goodness!) and I stayed with Bissy until the paramedics took her off to Kings (more bear hugs!) - by that time her contractions were only 2 minutes apart. She did so well, I'm sure she didn't plan to spend those intimate moments with a complete stranger in another stranger's house, but it did make me smile (especially when she was vowing never to have any more children!!) - when I spoke to her husband he was obviously in far more shock than she was.

Anyway, just wanted to share, I hope Bissy and KT now have a beautiful baby son (its amazing the conversations you can have inbetween 2min contractions...), and what a lovely community east dulwich is - no-one blinked an eye, eveyone just wanted to do all they could for Bissy and the baby.

      By JessicaCT · Posted

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
