So, Spooner - have you tried any of these recommendations? No mention (sorry if I've missed it) of the Thai Corner House on Northcross - very good for the price - bring your booze.

About 20 minutes ago, my husband was walking past Camberwell New Cemetery and said it appeared to a be gang shooting. Two police helicopters circling overhead. It was mayhem on Forest Hill Road, near the French Cafe - police with machine guns. Looks like it was some kind of gang funeral and someone opened fire. Some very dodgy looking characters - and those are just the women. Multiple road and air ambulances in peckham park. Helicopter above. Guy at scene says 3 dead and several injured. All unsubstantiated of course. Terrible news for the families.

Thanks for your recommendations on Kuki - and how right everyone is. Shingo cut my hair - I gave him free range to do whatever he wanted - and I am staggered at the quality of the results - stylish, relevant, elegant, technically perfect and suitable for a woman of my years (closer to 50 than 40 - OMG). Shingo himself is outstanding at customer service. The products they use smell expensive, the feel of the place is elegant, understated, relaxed, friendly, fun 80s music. I was offered a glass of wine. A nod also to the lady who washed my hair - I'm already missing the head massage. Another hairdresser of choice is James Benoit of Daniel Hersheson at Harvey Nichols. I certainly recommend James, but the sting is that it's about ?95 for a cut - but you may well think you've had the best cut ever in your life. However, Shingo is my new man. I'm also getting my colour done at Kuki soon.

East Dulwich Deli - best brownies known to man. And cheesecake. Their brownies and cheesecake ruins all others.
