The Nunhead Forum must be very quiet, KH.


Anyway, musical genius for me would be George Clinton, Prince, Stanley Clarke, Roy Ayres, George Duke, Idris Muhammad, Norman Whitfield who also produced the Undisputed Truth, Patrice Rushden, Larry Heard, Lamont Dozier, Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, etc.

> Undisputed truth is a Soulie...my oh my


I decided to take the name of The Undisputed Truth soul group as it sounded so great. I'm stunned how many people on this forum got the wrong idea about my name.


Anyway, as youngster I stopped listening to Radio 1 since their music was naff and my interest in quality music just grew and grew. I was heavily into club, jazz funk soul music during the early 80s and bought a number of records on imports. In some cases I could recognise producers or musicians signature notes. I tend to view m&S and the Guardian in the same way as I did with Radio 1. With the Guardian newspaper I know I won't get quality information that I want and with M&S they can't offer me the quality of food I wish to eat. I feel privileged that I can make my own choices without relying on marketing or journalists gibberish. I tend to feel sorry for those who live their life according to the Guardian or what's on tv.

Congratulations UDT - you managed to get the Guardian on to this thread too! Either you are a drone for a very subtle (not to say perverse) viral ad in favour of the Guardian or someone from the paper once borrowed a fiver and never returned it... either way you seem to have a big bug up your arse about it.


Nothing bizarre about the B52s quids - already mentioned Fred Schneider and Ricky Wilson on this thread - and I remember a lot of Burning Spear (dub versions) and local reggae bands that never made it big but all seemed to play the impromptu r.a.r./anti nazi league promoted concerts in the various parks back then.

I won't accept the congratulations as you've seemed to missed the main gist of my post and that belonging to Quids. As a soul boy I know exactly what Quids was saying and I know the period from 79-82 was a great time for Soul, Jazz & Funk music. Also, at the time reggae was just as popular. I'm against commercial tosh like the Guardian, M&S, Starbucks Coffee, and pop music.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
