Yes, see him everywhere. He often turns up for 'community' events (last saw him a Heber School Summer Fair). He also campaigns on various local issues on LL. Quite sweet really. Didn't know he was a celeb outside this parish until I saw him in the Evening Standard.


My son has castigated me for not getting Helen Ledrer's autograph when I see her. He is a big Dr Who fan.

I think James Nesbit is a good actor, I liked him in cold feet,and all the other things he has done.

I bought his version of Jekyl,and thought he played the evil side well.

The only part I couldnt get to grips with, was his role as Pontius Pilate,his Irish accent put me off.

Similar to Sean Connery when he played an English king,but he was annoying because he made an effort to speak with

an English accent when he took the role of James Bond.

I would like to liketo see James in a period drama.

I was going to post that almost word for word earlier.


I don't think I would recognise anyone famous if they were standing in front of me.


I have trouble recognising the people I know somwtimes. :)

I saw the actress who played Di Barker from Bad Girls on a 176, she got off at Goose Green. Jenny Eclair and husband in Sainsburys DKH, Jo Brand waiting for a bus on LL opposite the barracks and Mickey Flanagan in Sainsburys.


Years ago, it was ridiculously easy to spot cast members of The Bill, including the actor who played DS Roach talking his pets to the vet opposite the Harvester or riding his bike around ED and Peckham. Also two other cast members who were using the cashpoint at Lloyds TSB.


My mother also spotted Cathy Shipton (Casualty's Duffy) in Rye Lane years ago.

I agree with what your saying Steve. When I first joined the forum I also had one or two people making similar comments to me, it made me not want to bother coming on. However, I thought why should these 'critical' few stop me from using this when there are so many nice & helpful people on here. The minority just aren't worth bothering with. Stick with it Steve.

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!

      Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
