  1. DrDom: > once the germans bombed the 7/11 the place went down hill. The flying bomb that destroyed that block exploded on 5 August 1944. It was Saturday morning and East Dulwich folk were out shopping. 23 were killed and 59 seriously injured. I assume that DrDom posted out of ignorance rather than bad taste.
  2. Ralon's was a car show room. The Greengrocers on the Black Cherry site was Smiths. Going back further the EDD site used to be the Christian Bookshop. Headnizm was Follet's record shop, then came the (proper) tobacconists with a vending machine outside for the under-age, then came the old fashioned cobblers.
  3. Dulwich Jewellers used to do useful things like repair watches and clocks. I can't remember a restaurant in the same terrace as Green & Blue, but Bell's chip shop on the corner of Matham Grove was good. The National Assistance Board office for East Dulwich was at Bournemouth Road, Peckham.
  4. Failure to donate does not remove ownership.
  5. Check out the property boundary. Unless snorky says otherwise the stolen goods were not on "the street" or on "the public pavement". There can be no littering offence. The Theft Act does not say a theft is dependant on whether the person taking the goods knows who owns them.
  6. > They are not technically stealing The 1968 Theft Act has changed since I last read it?
  7. "Look and Learn" was one shilling.
  8. Lordship Lane is the A2216. As it is an A-road I don't think closure is in Southwark Council's "gift".
  9. It's well known that the traffic wardens arrive in Lordship Lane just before 4pm for their daily catch. More recently they've been returning just before 7pm too.
  10. I don't want to move out of East Dulwich. It's my home with decades of memories.
  11. In daylight?
  12. I want one of these for East Dulwich shopping. Free for pensioners.
  13. And now your advice for the elderly?
  14. Went down that way to have a look. Very nice. We've needed a replacement for Dave Smith's.
  15. New greengrocer opens in East Dulwich. First EDF criticism: "Wrong sort of asparagus."
  16. # Iraq (1928-1936) # Aden (1963-1967)
  17. Useful information for the elderly too.
  18. Purple funerals are available too.
  19. > I can cope with Biddys creeping slowly along. Why, thank you, young snorky.
  20. That URL nails the East Dulwich connection. Many thank, Jeremy. One less mystery in life.
  21. No birthday song for me. They didn't have charts back then.

    MPs' expenses

    Kate Hoey looks to be honest.
  23. This Danish group Port Friendly named one of their albums "Lordship Lane" [1999]. Track 2 is "Crystal Palace (Please Don't Faint)". I picked up the CD [Voices of Wonder Records - VOW071CD] in a local charity shop. What is the East Dulwich connection? [it's quite a good album too.]
