Hi all, I am reaching out to all you guy's to help me with my uncle Kenny, He is an old timer of East Dulwich, Born in the 1940's He grew up in and around the area, He was a drinker for years and would get about so much, Down th e Mag,The Palm, East Dulwich tavern, He could chat for hours and his singing was dreadful, although no-one ever told him this, He left London around 9yrs ago now and came up north in Doncaster to be near me, He was on his own down London and was struggling abit so moved for support, Although he still gets about up here in Doncaster and is well known in the Pub circuit, he talks about London so much and talks of his old friends, I am wondering if anyone remembers him, and if they do could I suggest an idea that you write him a letter, He is getting older and seems so what depressed at times, I really want to cheer him up, and feel this could help him, Thankyou all to whomever can help.xxxx Inbox me if you do remember him and would like to help.

Wow, already got reply's, Yes Kenny did work in the Library and also drank in the Mag quite a few years ago, His mates also included Strawberry, I think Dennis, AKA Monks,Rutherthud, (Think that is spelt right) and I know the well's family, My mum knew Shelia, Johnny,Alfie, How amazing is this. He lived in Dulwich before moving in with my mum on the denmark hill estate, and then ended up here, I will inbox you his address, But I wont tell him until he comes round with the letter.xxx I am so happy for him.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
