What about poor incomers?


Also I'm an incomer to London too, I was brought up in Birkenhead but cos my dad is originally a Bermondsey man am I still a Northerner and when my 8yr old gets older, will she still be an ED newcomer?

poor incomers are still incomers CWALD. I too am not a wealthy incomer but I think it makes no difference. I'm an incomer to London as well - moved here from Scotland over 20 years ago.

I think our offspring will be ok as according to previous posts the requirement for being a local is living here while having secondary education.

I'm an incomer - but wish I wasn't.


We had to pay a small fortune to buy here 18 months ago although I understand that "locals" were able to buy a 3 bed house for under ?2.70 in days gone by.


If I were sitting on a house with that much equity in it I'd be laughing at incomers, not getting angry with them.

"The only incomers welcome in East Dulwich are low-incomers who went to secondary school here."


but they're not incomers if they went to school here, I'm confused. Are we talking in-comers (people who have come in from toutside East Dulwich) or incomers (people who have an income)?

Well I?m not just a mere ?incomer? but a heinous foreign invader from South Africa who has been marauding across this green and pleasant land for the last 5 years, cricket bat in one hand and bottle of brandy in the other. Taking your jobs, ravishing your woman & committing such unspeakable acts as keeping my bottled ale in the fridge and assuming the best in those I meet.


Anyway I decided I liked ED a few years ago and therefore did not knock it down and set fire to it.


Mrs Brendan comes from a place called Up North and says she will do some very unpleasant sounding things to me involving whippets and canals if I try any more of the ravishing bit.

    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
    • Quite a number of us who visit the park have wondered the same thing. Also, since a lovely tree in Peckham park was almost mistakenly cut down, the confidence in the council is not 100%
