This is completely true - visiting Kings' maternity ward, got chatting to the mother of lovely newborn twins, named Giorgio and Armani. Years later at the playground at Brockwell Park, heard those names being called out to each other on the swings and saw them as 5/6 year olds! Fabulous.

Sheridan was a girl I used to know so I am surprised to see it as a male name. I like the way Scots, Irish and Welsh names are popular in their respective countries. I think the rise in the No of Jacks, Harrys, Mabels, Rubys, Henrys, Ethels, etc, could be a similar occurrence in England.

I can believe the story, but I went to school (year below) with one of his sons (no idea if he has more than one), and his name was Bill.

I've known a couple of Beverley (males) both would now be between 60 and 90 suggesting that it was a bloke's name. What a great term bloke is, and geezer too. They'd make great names.


Mate was dog sitting for 'Scrotum' and 'Retch' walking around the park shouting their names. John Seldom Gummer called his dogs Saddam and soemthing like Tariq (it wasn't Tariq but another henchman)


What about Renton?

      Man and van service - Joseph

      By missanhd · Posted

      I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Yousef and his team for my recent house move in East Dulwich. Downsizing and relocating  my stuff from a house to a flat was made a calm and pleasant experience. The move included large and heavy items of furniture, taking items apart and reassembling in the new place, as well as loads of boxes. Nothing was too much trouble. I can thoroughly recommend this service, you will not be disappointed!

      Who is taking the Tile Giant site?

      By DulwichParker · Posted

      Just seen that a lease has been agreed for the Tile Giant site next to Toolstation at the Grove Tavern end of Lordship Lane. Does anyone have the inside scoop on who has taken the lease?

      Awful experience at GMs hairdressers :(

      The GM's in Dulwich has been gone for around 3 years, so the most recent post must be about the Crystal Palace branch, I presume the same staff moved over? I've been going to Tash at Kuki for a while, never had a problem.
