  1. I miss the summer shows at the Dulwich Park open-air theatre.
  2. Full details here...
  3. Some bomb shleters were built in 1938 and pre-September 1939. I'm not sure it applies to our local LCC estate bomb shelters. Worth validating this.
  4. The Woolworth's building is to be demolished to make way for the East Dulwich Piazza with water features and an out-door stage.
  5. First ever prosecution. Will Southwark Council prosecute too?
  6. All East Dulwich bus shelters should have two of these.
  7. Which schools have the five new cases seemingly contracted from Alleyn's pupils?
  8. Chindit battlefield graves. MacRoban
  9. Major Lumley (Right) in 1944 wearing his plus fours while fighting the Japanese in Burma.
  10. > Here's a quote from Dulwich History and Romance (1922) 'From Dulwich Green the only road going south was known as Back Lane, now the Gallery Road. It led to Dulwich Common and the Northwood, a wild and lawless place of great extent, intersected by many paths and tracks, infested by highwaymen, and unsafe for travellers even down to the beginning of the nineteenth century. In the middle of the eighteenth century complaint was made that "Watchmen notwithstanding, robberies and murders occurred almost every night."' You need to take Mr Hall with a pinch of salt.
  11. Go retro. Late 1940s utility. If you get the Nippies' uniform right you won't be able to keep the young men of East Dulwich away.
  12. > 'Nark' is from 'narcotics officer' as in Norbert the Nark from the Furry Freak Bros. (misspent youth) That's a crumby citation. The OED has the etymology from "nak" - the Romany for "nose". The earliest citation of usage is 1860.
  13. Texas death rate 2/61 (3.2%). UK death rate 0/27 (0.0%).
  14. > Is foxy not a name attributed to a lady rather than a bloke? "Freedom for Tooting!"
  15. >from LA to San Francisco on Highway 1 - somewhere by Santa Barbara It's US 101 there? "Like waves crashing on the beach".
  16. BBC: "The two siblings go to a different London school but are related to one of the Alleyn's School pupils, the HPA said. It is understood their small independent school is also set to close as a precaution, which would make it the UK's fifth."
  17. My Dad had a Gurkha joke. Setting: Burmese jungle Situation: Gurkha captured by a Japanese soldier. Japanese soldier: "I thought you Gurkhas were supposed to be so fast with your kukris". Gurkha: "Look behind you".
  18. Because I'm not the pope.
  19. The battle of the edits.
  20. Does the A380 go to Newton Abbott?
