I suppose it depends on your definition of 'important'.


If you define it as being one of the greatest authors the country has produced, it ought to be Dickens.

If you define it as someone who was awful, but you liked them, it ought to be Emery.

> Who is CS Forrester?


Wrote a series of historical novels in the 50's. Mostly famous for naval series featuring Hornblower. A better author of naval histories is P O'Brian. Excellent writing, historical accuracy and, as a bonus, an intriguing personal biography involving deceit, divorce and an imagined life.

It would appear, spadetownboy, big time bank blaggers love ED. Michelle Hogg although not deceased,.... "Michelle Hogg, 31, from Woolwich, south-east London, was the first person arrested by Kent police over the ?53m robbery of the Securitas depot in Tonbridge"

former pupil of St John's and St Clement's on North Cross Road.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
