It's hard to miss given the number of times each episode is aired.


My oldest is still too young to notice that having your local park on the telly is not normal. In her eyes, why wouldn't it be? It is THE park, after all.


Can you do, the kangaroo? Do do do, the kan-ga-roo...

Timothy Spall was famously in 'Auf Wiedersen Pet' as Barry. He is a really successful actor - he's brilliant! 'Wormtail' in Harry Potter, he was Mr Poe in 'Lemony Snicket', but my fave was a really dreadful movie called 'Gothic' with Julian Sands ('Dr Polidori') - so bad it's good!


And Jo Brand is a real sweetie. See her in the Park and Sainsburys all the time - people are always bothering her and she has time for all of them.

Madness of Modern Families currently on BBC2 was partly shot in various East Dulwich locations....Arctic monkeys in Peckham......some sitcom with Pauline Quirke, sorry can't remember name filmed a bit at top of Upland Road......

Um.Yes. See my previous message. However, as a good neighbour wild horses will not drag the name of the actual road from me - I never know when I might want to nip around to borrow a cup of money - but it's about a mile long and begins with "U"...

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
