Cyrena Road: Quiz Question


Recommended Posts

Yes, well done, both right - was particularly thinking of it from snowboarder's point of view. Another way of asking the question would be "Why will you never see a house advertised for sale in Cyrena Road?" - Answer - because nothing has the address cyrena road.


Completely useless piece of trivia, and yet somehow compelling...


Could probably create a complete East Dulwich round for a Magdala quiz along these lines.


Anyway, I'll return to my basket.

Answer: The Shell sign I'm thinking of is in Bawdale Road. It is placed in the middle, upstairs window of the converted building at the LL end, opposite Franklins. Most prominent at night, when it is illuminated. I believe there is a petrol pump in a front garden in Upland Road (not Dunstans), but not Shell.

What, the Discount Tyre Shop? Anyone ever been in there?


Talking of old signs, it's often possible to find old London phone numbers on shops around town. Where, if anywhere, in East Dulwich can you find a building displaying the following at the start of a phone number? (I don't know the answer!):


0181...

081...

and for maximum points:

01...

He probably goes on strike, that's what they normally do.


You are opening up what might be a rich seam with house numbers. A friend of mine in Woolwich at number 1A renamed her house "Nice 1A". There must be some other good house number/house name curiosities in SE22.

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
