Given that a large portion of Jo Brand's comedy is her talking about how much she likes cake/food it's not necessarily wrong for people to pick up on that


Having said that, people do seem to take inordinate amount of joy in taking the mick out of her in an unnecissarily personal way. I left her comedy behind years ago but she seems like a good egg to me

And he was on the 17.48 to ED from London Bridge yesterday. I resisted the temptation to yell, "Why have you drugged their onions?" at him...

I think this is the same lady who was in that show about young lawyers. Think it was called This Life? Bizarrely the BBC use her to present online legal training modules - sitting behind a lawyer's desk! (assuming its the same woman we're talking about. Ignore me if we're not.)

I've lived in ED for 10 years and have seen the following bods in Sainsbury's and other assorted shops and pubs:

Jimmy Nesbitt

Paul McGann

Adrian Lester

Steve Sutherland (ex-NME editor)

Gary Stringer (singer from Reef)

Jo Brand

Helen Lederer

Dan Cruickshank (he was investigation ED architecture)

Shirley from EastEnders (always wearing shades - no matter the weather)

Jenny Eclair (my mate bought an old Merc from her)

Josie Lawrence

Olivia Colman

Vincent Regan (big Oirish fella - 300/Clash of the Titans/The Street)

Timothy and Rafe Spall

Joanna Scanlon (The Thick Of It/Getting On)

Lesley Sharpe

It's a veritable cleb spotter's dream!

Sat next to Clare Holman (the forensic scientist in the follow on from Morse - Lewis) at Greenwich Picture House yesterday, while watching Tinker Tailor etc - V. Excellent film BTW.


The sat opposite Ros Kemp at the Rivington Cafe at Greenwich Picture House.

    • I'd support fining any tourist wearing a 'I ❤️ London' t-shirt, 'University of Oxford' sweatshirt or Union Jack bobble hat.
    • I noticed more butterflies than ever this year - lots of red admirals and white ones. Couldn't understand why, then found this. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jul/18/big-butterfly-count-uk-numbers-recovery
    • Had a Red Admiral in front driveway today. Hadn't seen one for some time
    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
