I take what I can get celeb-spotting wise. I also saw Kate Thornton in Dulwich Park last Saturday. I not a fan, but a spotting is a spotting.


I am waiting, patiently for Alan Davies to come to the hood and declare his undying love for me. He seems rather sold on North London, though, and his wife and kid.

Ooh, yes, I saw her on Fellbrigg and I too noticed the crop. Now, she is a nice lady. I once had a chat to her.


I'm actually a better celeb spotter than I thought! Joanna Page, not once but twice, Jo Brand......or perhaps I need to get out of ED more often....

Check this thread out


I bring this thread to your attention not to be "so ****ing pedantic!" as stevebailey kindly puts it but to highlight this is a continuous thread and might, just might, be of interest to other newer members to the forum.


When I said it's not an "issue" I wasn't suggesting anything of a "pedantic" nature at all. Everything has it's place on the forum that's all.


Wind your neck in stevebailey and play nicely why don't you.

Just had a look at the ongoing thread in the Lounge - very comprehensive it is too....problem with most things in the that section is there is just too much guff to get through to get to the juicy detail. But I shall duly save any further comments on this matter for that thread.

Smeltz, Sorry that you feel I need to 'wind my neck in' I just naturally assumed the following points:


1. A forum dedicated to the residents of ED would be a nice place to be.

2. A forum section with the word 'gossip' would be an appropriate place to indeed post gossip.

3. As you appear to be an 'old' member of the board who knows where everything would go, and as such I must have come across as a 'new' member in my inability to post in the correct section, or know that a post has been going since March 2007, you would have been a little more helpful or friendly.


As such I think I'll just stick to my actual friends, rather than embarrass myself any more making such stupid mistakes on here.


Nice to know I've moved somewhere so welcoming.


Thanks to those that were nice though, unfortunately it's always the few that ruin it for the many.


And yes I am being over-sensitive.

Welcome to ED Steve. ED Forum reflects the local community. Some people are lovely and some people are not.

There is also a set who are seem to do nothing other than using EDF and they get annoyed by new people starting threads that only they know exist. I wouldnt worry about it, we've all done it. Just wait until you get the rough edge of the tongue from the likes of *bob*, eater81 or woofthedog. Then you'll really know you've arrived.


BTW - hang out in Sainsburys long enough and you may bump into the Deputy Prime Minister. That's gotta trump James Nesbitt. But only for the next 5 days.... (she won't be Deputy Prime Minister in 6 days time)

Welcome to ED! Don't leave the forum Steve! ED is a great place and there are loads of lovely people on the Forum.


There are people on here that enjoy being contraversial / look for arguments but there are far more that don't, and often it could simply be that posts are interpreted differently to how they were intended. Even when you are registered for years certain members still respond adversely (see my thread asking about catholic churches / services over Christmas!).


That aside, ive met some lovely people via this forum, it really is a great community and a useful site for local information/ recommendations.


I really don't thing the posters intention was to upset you, s/he was trying to be helpful, unfortunately this seems to have been lost in translation!!

I saw Kate Ford - for the umpteenth time - on N'cross Road last week. This time she looked especially lovely, though the fact the last time she was 'shopping' (for 'shopping' read 'trying to find stuff that's been moved AGAIN) in CoOp on LL might account for her improved appearance.

    • Hi All, Apologies if there have been other threads about this. I am really concerned and quite scared about vermin for those of us that live close to the high street. I know they are something we have to accept to an extent but it feels like they are currently being given a welcome and easy ride…I have recently sent the below email to Southwark council, if you feel the similarly I’d encourage you to do the same…  [email protected] if you have suggestions of others I can be in touch with please let me know… Dear Southwark Council, I live at xxxx and am seriously concerned about the way commercial shop and restaurant waste is managed on Lordship Lane high street. Most businesses put their rubbish out on the pavement at the end of the day in Southwark bin bags, which are collected the following morning.  Most mornings they have been ripped open by vermin (rats and foxes) with food waste across the pavements and a slick of oily stains. For those of us that live close to the high street there is a hygiene concern about the state of the pavements and the rats in our gardens and potentially entering and damaging our homes and cars and as well as the risks of illness.  Please advise if you will be reviewing the arrangements to move to a bin system to help with the issue?? Particularly in light of this news on the vast increase of rats in our cities:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gvk397j80o All best, Xxxx
    • @Spartacus It seems a very complex subject and I have no knowledge of the places awarded money but pride of place has many more ingredients than retail. 
    • Internet will never replace face-to-face shopping   These  derelict  shopping centres still exist but they’re filled with crap shops  antisocial behaviour et cetera et cetera we don’t have them here that’s why we’re not getting the money
    • Would you also say that the £5billion investment won't have the desired impact as shoppers prefer online ?
