It used to be in Kent, since 1960 something it's been part of Greater London. If you go back far enough (1889) East Dulwich was in Surrey!

Yep and Middlesex at Lord's, and why in the Boat Race the crew winning the toss get a choice of the Surrey or Middlesex station.

Going off track I passed a shop somewhere in Europe called 'Fanny Boutique' - got a photo somewhere. Here is another https://yellowprod-fcd.kxcdn.com/uploads/gallery_picture/picture/9502/presentationp1bis.jpg

It's a genunine ladies' clothers shop, just my childish sense of humour made me think of this.

Sadly it changed its name. I think somebody must have told it.


But I don't think it's there at all any more. It was a hat shop.


My brother wondered whether they confused brim and rim :)

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
    • Have you ever considered your own motivations?
