TODAY SOUTH LONDON, TOMORROW SOUTH LONDON


Hello everyone,


Some of you may know me from my occasional posts on here pointing to local-interest pieces I have contributed to Deserter.


Well, I'm happy to announce that we now have a book out featuring some of these tales, plus lots of new material that our publisher absolutely insisted we write.


Described by one Amazon reviewer as "Fear and Loathing meets The Good Beer Guide", it is a celebration of the glorious South and its inhabitants. Part guide, part travelogue, part never-ending pub crawl, it has been chosen as one of the Evening Standard's Best Comedy Books of 2018: https://www.standard.co.uk/shopping/esbest/books-dvds/best-comedy-books-and-dvds-of-2018-a4010706.html?fbclid=IwAR1GxXp3VwbCei5UFYR58BUwygM7H-LZDp2ExsYv-mqkZ9Ux_RJKQ0ieruQ


Dare I suggest it would make an ideal Christmas present for the slacking booze-hound in your life? We all know one. And it's usually us.

Thanks g-g, and amen to that!

Apologies if anyone has had trouble getting their hands on a copy - incredibly, the first print run disappeared in days and then Amazon hoovered up all of the second.


At this rate I'll be making my offer to buy Dulwich College sooner than expected. I plan to turn it into a massive pub with dancing, water slides and everything.


The third print run is in shops now (and available online - read some reviews here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Today-South-London-Tomorrow/dp/1912618745/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=).

    • Rather than zero tolerance, a term I should have not used, I should have referred to crime,  No crime (excluding some things which really should not be criminalised) should be tolerated (albeit the reaction to a naughty 13 year old will be different to a violent criminal, and similarly those with mental health issues there will be some flexibility), I' was talking zero crime, which is impossible. New York was vastly improved, what happened to that wonderful Giuliani chap? US is not a role model of course, homicides per head dwarf the UK; the damage that white flight and the desolation of inner cities that happened to  many places such as Baltimore, Washington DC and Detroit is difficult to turn round Much rather move this debate to the Lounge!
    • Charlotte Cave on Blackwater St, East Dulwich SE22 8SD Award-Winning colourists. They have just opened up their ED branch. The entire team can be trusted, unlike other local salons (won't mention the others that have totally destroyed my hair over the years). Just go to a professional: https://charlottecave.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/charlotte_cave/
    • I use Adam in Forest Hill (opposite the swimming pool)
    • The quarterly SNT Police Meetings are advertised on EDF - the one Beansprout mentions, is  Dulwich Hill. The team have been short  staffed for a number of months as one officer was injured trying to arrest a shoplifter - unfortunately the shoplifter got away but the officer was left with fractures. We regularly see one or two of the police team around the Dulwich Hill area (they were recently in Landells Road)  Dulwich Hill SNT are hoping to resume their Cuppa with a Copper sessions but are frequently asked to support colleagues policing the various protest marches.  The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is scheduled for December (date to be confirmed) The attack on the young woman would come under the Goose Green SNT.
