Seen Adrian Lester and kids a couple of times in the Barry Rd Off License opposite. Jo Brand and kids recently by what used to be Dulwich Hamlet School (when my wife went there). Don't know what it' called now, even though I drive past it every day! Look at this link for more faces http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Dulwich#Notable_residents. you can add your own spottings.

Rod Liddle again - this time with a fag and some vino outside Franklins. I don't think he was reading anything but I couldn't scrutinise him as closely as I would have liked - as soon as I see someone famous I have to look away, or my mouth tends to drop open and my eyes are out on stalks.


I'll say this tho' : His hair needed a jolly good combing.

Fit like ma wee quine?


Not at all - it's just that I think fame has to be a combination of recognition and respect. Liddle fails the second, and only barely scrapes the first.


BTW I do hope your name refers to a Doric provenance; otherwise it's incredibly rude...

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
