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.

      Bitey Fox.

      By Babbit · Posted

      I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Enable · Posted

      Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
