It would have to be someone who can do a plausible Seffriken accent, which rules out any American or British actors. As she grew up in my hometown Charlize Theron may have a stab at it but there would be certain anatomical problems like for instance she has the wrong colour hair. Anyway I question her acting abilities and feel that a Benoni girl running about in foreign parts and winning Oscars is just showing off.


Actually giving it some thought I reckon it can?t be done. You couldn?t capture this on celluloid.

Hmmm Keira Knightley, then in a bid for northern gritty realism I would force feed her Fray Bentos pies, dumpling and endless bowls of steamed pudding and custard. After 12 long months of filming and scoffing she would be a right heifer and Hollywood just doesn't do plump, hence the world would be saved from her wooden vacuous performances forever... splendid.

    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
    • There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/
    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
