Today Mrs SCSB79 and I took a wonder down Lordship Lane. Traffic was absolutely mental, cars skidding all over the place, cars sliding into one another, buses parked up all over the place...

Then we spotted one old Mercedes chugging it's way up the hill by Townley Road, aided by 4 adults pushing the car... we just assumed it was 4 nice people, helping the driver of the old Merc get up the hill. However, on closer inspection we looked into the car and saw what could only be a 10 year old boy at the wheel, being instructed by (I'm guessing) his Dad, who was helping to push the car, on how to accelerate and to "keep it going son"!!!!

Highly illegal, but bloody funny.

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
