Does anyone know if any sort of barter system is at work in the ED area? I read about this a few years ago and there have been some successful groups set up whereby people in the community offer their skills/services in exchange for others. I seem to remember that they created a type of 'currency' so that it didn't always involve direct swaps but people could exchange their crowns (or whatever) for something that had value to them. I have done a little bit of this with friends/colleagues and think it's a lovely way to work. What do people think?

I think there's a Letts scheme in Peckham ... but nothing in East Dulwich.


Its a great idea but I'm not sure it would go down too well here.


Maybe I'm wrong, but the impression I get is that folks in these parts like to hear the rattle of cash in their purses and probably wouldn't go for a non-commercial exchange.


I hope I'm wrong - and there certainly seems to be lots of people with lots of skills.


Why not set one up?

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
