The Test Card on the telly.


The innocent looking girl with the doll, or whatever, and all those squiggly lines accompanied by tunes such as Green Sleeves.


Try explaining that to the Sky Plus, HD, 3-D, Facebook, Twitter, generation and they won't bloody believe you.

Actually I saw a young dandy chap walking down Talfourd Road smoking a Sherlock Holmes pipe, obviously on his way to a lecture or his studio at Camberwell School of Art. I must admit, it really threw me.

Talfourd Road = Hipster spice route of Peckham

A policeman with a proper Helmet.

As worn by Jack Warner.

"Evening All!"


P.S, Pith Helmets of this type were made at Poppers Toppers at the factory corner of Crystal Palace Road and East Dulwich Road at the back of what was then Gordon Garage.

There were always stacks of them in the entrance into Grystal Palace Road, the white ones as used in the film Zulu.

I remember that Neil McCarthy one of those actors often used the George Canning Pub, Neil was a gifted pianoist, and was six ft 1inch tall, fluent in several languages he died aged 51 of motor neurone disease.

There's a man fitting your grandad's description on our allotment, Hibbs!

Last week I saw a young-ish lady in the champagne bar at Frieze partaking of snuff. Perhaps we are about to see a revival.

    • Because the previous Libdem/Tory coalition council did so much better? ....Oh wait. Selling off the Heygate at a bargain price and reducing the number of council homes it replaced? Being in opposition is so much easier isn't it James.  The point on allowances etc is a valid one, and that is about finding the right balance between the responsibility of those cabinet roles and the role of service that should underpin all political aspirations in an ideal world. Holding down a full time job, while having to attend meetings and then deal with case work on top, is a huge ask imo. People in key roles need to have the time needed to do those roles effectively, so some renumeration makes sense. It's just a question of where the balance should be. McAsh has walked away from that, so his convictions are doing more talking than careerism arguably.  Worth pointing out that most MPs started out as party/ political activists/ campaigners on a local level. Different parties have different processes for selecting candidates, but everyone starts out at a low level. 
    • I think the Galleon on Dunstans Road beats that. been work in process for 5+ years. 
    • Cleaning in East Dulwich and the surrounding areas for well over a decade, we've worked hard to always provide great cleaning and reliable cleaners. We pride ourselves on delivering a high-quality cleaning service and making sure the cleaners turn up when you need and want them to. Our growth has mainly been by recommendations on the Forum, local Facebook pages and clients recommending us to their neighbours on street WhatsApp groups. We know it can be hard to trust someone to come into your home, many times when you're not there, so we only use cleaners that we know and have been checked, trained and are happy to be supervised by us. Accidents can happen so we're fully insured to cover any and all situations that may arise. On top of cleaning we can do additional tasks such as managing washing, ironing, bed changes and oven cleans. Plus working with local partners we can arrange window cleaning and carpet cleans for you. So if you want to come home to a clean and tidy place, with the floors cleaned, surfaces dusted, cobwebs removed, dishes washed, cushions plumped, clothes folded, beds made, and the bathroom gleaming, get in touch today!

    • Hardly! The awning is half hanging off and it looks like it's about to collapse between the two upstairs windows. Looks awful and it's not clear there is construction "going on" there now.
