the latest Friday Cities newsletter (from the ex-The Friday Thing people) raises a contentious issue about our borough:


WHICH BOROUGH HAS THE BEST LOOKING INHABITANTS?


Out in East Dulwich last night, it struck me that, overall, East

Dulwich does not appear to sport a particularly good-looking

populace. Not as bad as Nunhead, obviously. But there is a grimy,

potatoey sheen to most of the people you see on the streets of

SE22. Now, I?m no Adonis myself. But there?s no doubt the

inhabitants of some other areas of town are more consistently

pleasing to the eye. On the Kings Road or on Battersea Rise, for

example, the overall radiance of passer-bys ? male and female ? is

high. Islington, too, isn?t bad.


So is there a best looking borough? And why are some better than

others? Is it just wealth or youth?

How very dare he?


Actually, we are particularly radiant over here in West Dulwich. I myself am simply stunning - even without Botox (I am reliably informed that everyone else has it by the bucket), you simply could not buy cheek bones like mine.


Perhaps you in East Dulwich should drink more Evian?

Only for so long. After a while they'll find themselves crying out for a bit of genetic diversity.


(I wonder what the smallest practicable population for a suitably diverse gene pool might be... actually, no I don't. It's almost 10pm and just not the right time to start musing on such things.)

So a scotsman is acusing our local populace of a potatoey sheen.

If (s)he means we're a bit pale then they may have a point, but obviously irony is not their strong point.

Are they accusing us of being irish? poor choice of lingo old chap, and Mrs O'Mockney hates potatoes.

Are they accusing us of not being image obsessed, botox* injecting fuckwits?

Fine by me. Roll on the normal people of East Dulwich.


*no offence dulwichmum. I trust you won't get your ?70,000 white bikini bottoms in a twist ;)

No Mr Mockney,


Why should I be offended. I am Botox free although I am self obsessed it is true. You are gorgeous, Brendan is gorgeous, well all of the forumites I have met are gorgous - even Mr Batdog is gorgous as far as I am concerned - but I have not met him to confirm this. I am sure that this dreadful man was in fact talking about Brixton or Peckham or even Mitcham. The residents of Dulwich (North, West and East - why is there no South?) we are all honey's!

How dare tyhese people offend your value system. l'll get to work in it right away.


Yes, generations of poor nutrition, hard work, low pay and unhealthy eating do take their toll- Dont worry though, Ill have a word with these troglodytic proles and ask them to move to Dagenham or somewhere they may be more at home, and you can sort out the migration of Beautiful people into the area.


Ethnic cleaning for ED.

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
