  Thread: Forum confusion
Post: RE: Forum confusion

I find all this animosity bizarre. I have no stake in either place; I just want to know what's going on in the area. The best local forum is East Dulwich, for the same reason. But I don't live there. ...

The other forum has a political section you can opt out of, which I do. Then it is similar to this site, discussing local issues. I do not support the political views of the person who runs the site, ...

That does not mean anything. Just a mob mentality. Nothing about any issue other than weekend deals etc. has ever appeared on that Twitter feed before. The owners have contacted the police. Unfortu...

It is obvious they have been hacked. Their twitter feed never has anything except things about special offers and so on -- never any comments about news or personal opinions. The management have said ...

In trying to think how we can benefit from the night tube when we have no tube, I checked on ways to get from Brixton and note that the P4 is also not a night bus. Should we try to lobby a) for this ...

Having moved to the area recently and still trying things out, I'd love to have any recommendations on good takeaways that deliver to Forest Hill.

  Thread: Forest Hill Library - Proposed Cut to Funding
Post: RE: Forest Hill Library

The problem is that once a library is gone, it's hard to replace it. As it is the FH library does not have enough books; what it needs is an expansion of its service, not a downgrading. Another poi...

Foxes mainly scream when they are fighting/play-fighting (called "gekkering"). Fighting is usually mainly through sound, not actual physical encounters. Mating only takes place in January so that's wh...

There does seem to be an attitude that it's not ok to move to this area from elsewhere. I don't think living here for a long time gives anyone any priority. As a newcomer myself (and -- shh! -- I'm no...

Ok, thanks for the correction on the politics of Domino's. I still don't want another pizza takeaway place on Dartmouth Road. Would prefer and independent shop or restaurant.

I won't be buying anything from Domino's. Of course empty shops are not good, but we could hope for something better than this -- and nothing better will move in if there aren't available spaces.

An M&S is already supposed to be opening in the former Iceland in East Dulwich. I'd love a Waitrose. Is the Wetherspoon's closing after all? I thought it was staying.

I like the current hours, open till 6. It's later than many supermarkets are open on Sundays and good if you need something last minute before supper. I'd be sorry if they were changed.
