I was away for a while I am so sad to hear about John at Chener Books. He was SO knowledgeable and posted a lot on here about local history. He was lovely and funny and friendly and sometimes even gave me free old maps! That's so sad. I would have loved to have attended his funeral if I had been here.

His funeral was private, I believe. I understand that the family didn't want John's sad death generally known until after the funeral had taken place.


There was talk of a memorial service of some kind, but I don't know whether that is still planned.

Jeremy Hardy - spoke with him once after a benefit at the Half Moon, he was a charming, self-deprecating man who had time for everyone. Friends who lived on the same road as him in Streatham found him a delightful neighbour. Plus, of course, he was astoundingly funny, especially when improvising on shows like The News Quiz and ISIHAC (and nobody will ever forget his singing!). A great loss.

So sad. Occasionally the death of someone famous who you never met feels like losing a friend, a genuine pang of loss. I saw him at a number of News Quiz recordings where some of his more outrageous and biting flights ended up on the cutting room floor. A great privilege to be there for that.

      Working form a cafe on Bellenden?

      Don’t know about cafes but the Victoria and Montpelier pubs always have always encouraged people working during the day.

      Where have the swifts gone ?

      By sidebirdz · Posted

      If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
