Keef: DO NOT get sucked into this USA-induced hype!..Be strong and withstand this continuous onslaught to love (and then spend money on) their ruddy, I mean "beloved", game. I remember when our High Streets were free of McDonalds and Boiger(NY speak) Kings and such like...let them invade Iraq but NOT our National Screens...Think of Normandy/Dunkirk/Isle Of Wight and just say NO!

Ring up or check Websites b4 you go on your journey this morning. BBC News have just said that there are no London Buses, but check to ensure thats right. I believe there are no South-Eastern Rail Services, but again check, to be sure.

Darn It!:))

My personal over floweth with snow....

I'm totally absorbed and no time to engage in meaningless chit-chat whilst this Magnum Opus is on. What a treat! Problem is M8 some people just don't "get" this game that our American friends are trying to ram down our throats so that they can sell us their merchandise. I mean look at what someone has just written on a Sports Forum..:X "Who gives a flying flippetygiblet about a load of lard munchers wrapped up like the Michelin Man throwing an oversized egg in a 4 hour "spectacle" with 60 minutes gameplay?"....... People, eh(6)(6)

I'm getting totally confused now! Which is the affluent part of Dulwich andwhich is the effluent(?)

Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > ...."Doin' the Lambeth walk..oi" Funny you should write that as, one of the sad things, for me, about this, is that the only person who also knew him well that I also know is my Mum who died in '96 so I'd love to reminisce with her but, frustratingly, can't. On her 70th Birthday I bought 2 tickets to see "The Lambeth Walk" in The WEst End..Instead of being happy she said "I had ENOUGH of the bleedin' Lambeth Walk" during the War and refused to go! Love the little Angel..and we never did! (but she appreciated the gesture!)...

Well I'm WELL excited and tuned in right now! There's a load of chat, as per u-s-u-a-l and I'm waiting patiently for the match to start!...We're chatting about "changing mindsets" at the moment...when does the action begin, does anyone know Guys? Hang on, that was one of their pit stops! WE'RE OFF AND RUNNING! No! We are not, we've stopped, already.The're analysing it! Crowd are roaring something is about to happen! Stopped again....Another 2 seconds of play as been sneaked in, amongst the fascinating chat... Crowd getting excited...Player giving a huge smile having gained around 5 feet.. ALLELUIA..My Sky Signal has just gone! There IS A GOD! Blast! Its come back! This is like watching a car crash scene, you KNOW you shouldn't but..I'll leave the enjoyment to the "Judges" as we've stopped again...

Yabba-Dabba Doo!....Its thick with snow now! With apologies to all those inconvenienced by the Snow and any effects it has on the elder Members *(and others) amongst us but the Dogs have only 9 hours to go to they can go back to Oxleas Woods on the egde of Eltham that looked beautiful last year when it snowed and the 4 of them had a fabulous time rolling and playing and chasing each other!>:D< Just about to text a Ladyfriend and ask her to come down from South London on Tuesday/Wednesday instead, got to get yer priorities right, innit Peeps:)-D

Walking thru' The Footscray Meadows this afternoon in the sunshine(while it lasted!) I stopped at the Riverbank observing the reflections in the water which was rushing thru' the wooded sides of the Bank in the Sunshine amidst the crisp Mid-Winters air.It was a beautiful sight and I thought Dr.John Crane could no longer enjoy these magical moments and my heart sank for a while. People like John have got to have found a deserved peaceful and happy eternal resting place at journey's end,surely.....

Brilliant match, again. Mick, the Lady who used to stay with me just rang to say she's back living in London so I had the sound down at the ceremony but why was Roger crying. It was making me feel emotional on Roger's behalf as he is such a Great Guy.

Mick Mac Wrote: Doctors used to be real people who local people really knew and respected but now i think these larger surgeries have little personality and I think when people are unwell it means a lot for them to know they are going to see a person they know, rather than a strange face. Thats the distinct impression I get as well Mick.

Yes Pickle! Part of my sentimental sadness is that he symbolised a bygone era imo. Ordinary folk could pop round and be seen without appointment in much simpler times. Then The Government and Southwark Council intervened as "they" knew what was best for that Community...they well nigh destroyed it.My Aunts were forced to move from their Terraced House, backing onto ours, into the 12th Floor of an impersonal Tower Block where most residents never knew who lived next door to them. Of course the alleys and hidden spots in those blocks were breeding grounds for the crime that was to start to infest the area years later. There were, at least. 4 Murders in Walworth since the Summer. Unthinkable, then. Ladygooner: Typical classy Arsenal touch, which was nice.

This thread is for the readers of EDF so could you give some kind of description?

I feel one of the reasons I'm sad is that he personified the people and way of life in that era who lived in the little Village that Walworth, in the heart of big bad South London, was then. He was Young, keen,enthusistic and Professional and worked in this Practice with a Dr. Dyson, a more formal, "colder" Doctor. John Crane was the Man most wanted to be seen by. Operating in a quiet, safe Terraced Street until the bulldozers came in The Mid-1960's to destroy the character of Walworth building the, then, largest Estate in Europe combining The Aylesbury and Heygate Estates and crushing all The Terraced Rows. It was never quite the same when he took his place as part of the much larger Surgery, built in the Estate itself. Now 50 years later this Young Man (as I remember him) is no more, which is a loss for all who knew him as a Patient or in another capacity.

I fully realise that if a Broadcasrer like David Vine, with his 45 years National Broadcasting, drew little response on EDF, then this thread, realistically, wil not, but how sad I feel having just heard at the end of Match Of The Day that Doctor John Crane has passed away. John Crane was my local GP in Walworth in Faraday Street, Walworth and his practice was moved, when The Aylesbury Estate was built in the Mid-1960's to a larger, less informal Practice situated in one of the new Tower Blocks. I vividly recall (for no logical reason) being 6 years old sitting with My Mum and hearing "Stranger On THe Shore" by Acker Bilk being played while in the Waiting-Room in his Surgery in 1960,almost 50 years ago, while waiting to see Dr. Crane, an old style GP with a great personality and manner. Imagine my surprise when 20 years later I saw him on TV as The Arsenal FC Doctor and then later travelling round the World as The England Football Team Doctor! He seemed to drop out of the Public Eye 4/5 years ago and normally I would have never known of his whereabouts or circumstances but I just caught it mentioned as a small tribute b4 The Arsenal Match, just now. Lovely, friendly Guy. God Bless John and Thanks M8.
