Sean, there's always Mr Gabriel Mary Byrne, him that used to be on the Late Late....tho that probably doesnt qualify him as 'famous'... DM, love the story, one of my mates has a father with the name Assumpta....different hospital, same idea....

The plastic bag tax has worked well in Ireland & I've got used to carrying around a cloth bag in my handbag since living there. Although I do get odd looks in shops in London 8 times out of 10 for saying i don't need a plastic bag.....time for a change methinks.

jennyh, i've been looking for some clubs/teams in the area too, used to play play netball & tag rugby but got tired of treking over to SW london in the evenings. Haven't had that much luck except for the gym or pilates/yoga. I did hear that there's women's footie team that trains at Peckham Academy. also a few tennis clubs around,North Dulwich, Dulwich Socal Club and Camber. A bit out of the way, unless you bus it home in the evenings, are the tennis courts at Burgess park, 20quid to join for the year and ?48 for 12 lessons. Do post up some info if you come across anything else....

ah a quick update, spoke to the loveliest Streetcar people today, bit of a training glitch yesterday and there's no probs with signing up.........thanks people for the pointers on the car locations........

Tried to sign up to this today, but they wouldn't have me with my Irish driving licence :( it was a v stressed woman on the phone tho so might try again tmoro. such a great idea.... um hi i'm new here btw......
