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.

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
