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.

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
