My mum used to work in BHS Peckham during the War.. One day on her way to work when she was 15 ish... a German plane flew along Rye Lane strafing..bullets.. A man saved her life by throwing her under the tail gate of a parked lorry.. BHS was later bombed.. Foxy

Everybody has a Point.. and therefore I must have a Point too.. .. But a Point in every direction is the same as having no Point at all.. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YOULHiLbz-Y/UZwJe0i2pCI/AAAAAAAABbg/mJ2EidxTc50/s1600/walk.jpg Harry Nilsson Foxy

Was in Morrisons this morning... 1 pack x 6 Hot Cross Buns ?1.00 2 packs 12 x Hot Cross Buns ?1.50.. Foxy..

Never been in.. Could not work out what it was from the outside.. I do like to be able to see what's going on.. before going in. I made the mistake of walking into a Carpet Shop in Turkey 25-30 years ago.. Took me 2 days to get out.. Foxy

I think Cafe Noodle may be on it's way out.. It has been closing at 10.30pm for a good while now.. but sometimes earlier. The lady there is very nice.. I spoke to her about the shop some time back.. Can't for the life of me remember what is going on there. I think it is another rent issue... ... Mr Liu is closed/closing soon for a short while for a refit... DulwichFox

Found this little clip... The audiance only applaud when their leader Kim Jong-un appears on screen... and when a Missle is launched.. Very amusing.. Foxy

Only just remembered to do my predictions... Anyone else need a reminder... Foxy

Well there are various schemes where motorists will be sent a letter.. or a Police Officer will pay them a visit.. you could get a warning but persistent offenders will be fined... There is a new camera that will do this being trialed in parts of the UK. There are going to be so many people creeping over the 20MPH limit getting fines... gettting points ... losing their licences.. There will soon be far fewer cars on the road.. These new cameras are tiny and do not use film...

There was a box of the said White Bread Baps (as featured on web-site) on the floor.. .. and there were only 4 options of fillings on the menu in the window... .. so I was showing genuine interest. It's not a case of having tried it. I do not eat White Bread Baps.. .. and just do not get the Taiwanese connection So... I did not slag anyone off.. You are the only one slagging someone off.

Bao... Fillings in a Soft White Bread baps.. not very exiting.. and not at all healthy.. .. a healthy Rye .. Granary ... Sourdough... roll would seem a nicer option.. DulwichFox

Couldn't have been long. My shop was at 13 upland Road.. Previously a Tanning Shop... and for decades before a Cycle Shop... The other half of the shop was a Damp Proofing company.. I was there in 1993.. My company was called Seasonal Supplies Ltd. The shop was a bit isolated and I was paying ?750.00 a month. rent.. 23 years ago. Trade was slow and I did not want to take on the 14 year lease so I left and the shop was turned into 2 flats. Now a new business is there.. Northcross / Uplands Rds were deserted back then with no market.. and few shops... Wrong place.. Wrong time.. I worked as a Temp driver for Dial-a Ride then spent another 14 years back in Telecomms.

Northcross was sparse... ... I was one of the first... but too early.. DulwichFox

The Publicity has given him more sales of his Books.. and TV rights.. It will not stop children eating sweets.. Sugar.. His recipes continue to use. Sugar.. Salt.. White flour.. Butter.. with a few green leaves to make them seem healthy. DulwichFox

A Sugar Tax will do nothing to stop people consuming sugar in the same way as taxation on tobacco and alcohol in itself stops people Drinking and Smoking.. Jamie Oliver is still selling Full Sugar cola in his outlets but I understand he he as put a levi on prices.. So this just increases his profits while getting all the 'This Little Good Boy' publicity. Why does he not just sell sugar free.. DulwichFox

Many of those have closed down and > changed hands in the last 10 years. That is because people arn't willing to put in the hours... Opening when they feel fit.. Closing when they arn't busy. Owning such a business IS hard work.. but people opening Pop-ups trying to make a quick buck. Places like The Curry Cabin.. 40+ years trading on Lordship Lane ..Same owner.. Staying open when not busy.. Does anyone think ANY of these new places will still be here in 40 years time.. Any business lasting 40+ years has got to of got it right especially where there is so much compitition.. I don't think so .

Britain?s pubs are closing at a rate of 29 a week ? and London and the South East are the hardest hit. The Campaign for Real Ale said the region has seen weekly closures rise by 11 per cent in a year to 10 10 pubs a week in London and the South East closing down.. That is sad.. Foxy

With a new Pop-up cafe opening vertually every other day it seems a better option to a pub.. which are closing down.

Lou.. You and I should open up a Pop- up... Will need to use aliases cos' we would be boycotted. We could charge what we liked.. :) Start thinking of a name.... (Wait for it) I feel a *Bob* momment coming.. Foxy
