I'm sorry, I don't know the year, Louisa.


Here's the text that goes with the photos. A film buff could work it out.

Where the new flats are next to the school. I remember going there as a kid in the sixties, in the early 70s it was turned over to a religious sect and called the Palace of Peace. The so-called guru turned out to be a charlatan (No surprise there), spending money on women and Rolls Royces etc etc, after that it was offices for a while before being demolished at an estimated guess about 8 to ten years ago.

I think the pent-up demand for a cinema is not quite as feverish as it was for a butchers before William Rose arrived, but it might not be far off. But the only buildings/sites I would have thought suitable candidates have been put to other uses (the gym near Thomas More Hall and Foxton's being the sites I had in mind)

I had a business meeting there many years ago when I was managing a business development grant. They imported, personalised and distributed watches, etc. Quite nice having a meeting 5 minutes walk from home, rather than a thousand miles away for a change.

Have to say I disagree with you re. the Rolls Royces. I saw the said 'Guru' a couple of weeks ago in the NEC in Birmingham and one thing he happened to mention were the stories about all his cars which existed years ago i.e the 70's

He went on to say that if he did have that number of cars he was supposed to have he wouldn't have chosen Rolls!

As for the women, when he went to the Palace of Peace he would have been a teenager. He is now nearly 50. In the interests of honesty I don't believe he can be accused of being a charlatan either.

My word your gullible aren't you. You don't seriously believe all that crap do you.

I once went in the Palace of Peace with a friend of mine. We were very stoned and a couple of "disciples" came up to us and said "oh you're the chosen ones....come and have something to eat/drink....blah blah blah..." Silly f**king hippies.

You insult me for what exactly? You went somewhere once, very stoned and met some hippies? Thirty years later I'm gullible and believe in crap. Maybe I'm both but you sure as hell don't know. Talk to you when you grow up.

now now boys, chill out. everyone's entitled to their opinions, being called gullible is not exactly an insult.

Personally think the Divine Light lot a load of twaddle. Anyone that keeps their so called "knowledge" a secret until they deem you are "ready", well - not very enlightened is it? Jesus handed his out to any one that would listen, as did Mohammed and Buddah.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
