Eavesdropping on Lordship Lane

[*Bob*]

Have you ever stood on Lordship Lane on a Saturday and eavesdropped on the conversations of passers-by?

It's a steady flow of people congratulating themselves (and each other) on where they live.

Give it a go. It's a hoot! (You can pretend you're making a phone call - for cover - if you like).

I hope no one was eavesdropping on my convo last nite... I met a a very over excitable slightly tipsy irish man... and no if u did hear us I DIDNT take him home wiv me! :P

[*Bob*]

That was probably Sean. I suppose he was after some change.. as usual.

[KalamityKel]

does Sean have bad teeth too? ;-) lol

[*Bob*]

That's him!

[KalamityKel]

:o nooooooooooooooo way! lol

I thought-dropped on *Bob* when I spotted him skulking round the lane. "Minicab driver, Kebab shop owner, Trench digger...." it was a pretty ironic stream of consciousness. ;-)

Hee Hee.. as a matter of fact, I was guarding a child (our own, I hasten to add) whilst waiting for *someone* to come out of a shop. But the eavesdropping bit really was most entertaining.

The other thing I noticed for the first time were groups of tourists/out-of-towners - in abundance. Idling down the Lane, window-shopping and checking out the menus like they're on holiday in Spain or something.

I have also started to notice the tourists on Saturdays.

how the hell did "I" get dragged into this?

tcha - but yes, more people, more coo-ing. I was in Black Cherry a few weeks back on a busy Sat night, supping some pureed chips through a straw. Mrs Mockney got talking to some Mancs an asked what they weere down for. They said just a weekend in London - so she said fair enough but why ED.. They said the area is now well know around the country as a top night out...

[Maximay]

Erm.... this is ED we are talking about right? ROFL!

Y'ok!! >:D<

[KalamityKel]

Should I not visit ED for a top night out then? *frowns* have u guys been lying to me ALL this time? :o :P

[EDOldie]

God, the Sea Cow'll be deep frying Mars bars next. Er, mind you, might not be a bad thing by all accounts.

[KalamityKel]

would b great business for the gym ;-)

Seriously.. Keep an eye-out for 'em. Weekend day-trippers.

I can understand how you go to Tooting for the curry, Brixton and Clapham for the bar and club scene, Greenwich for the river, museums, markets, and Streatham for the.. er.. ok not Streatham.

But ED? Perhaps it's a new sport. Pram-dodging.

[EDOldie]

Perhaps, 'appen, those from op norf, are doing a bit of social anthropology in ED. That guy doing the quiz at the Mag is er, 'not from round here' perhaps he knows.

There's a woman whos on my bus when I get on at Vauxhall... Every bloomin' morning she's on her fone talk to some member of her long extended family discussing her teenage sons new girlfriend, school results, hockey team arguments before moving on to her great great aunt (twice removed) who live in the south of France who has troubles wiv her "water" :| I tell ya the things I know about that woman's life!

We did a house swap with friends from the North East last year. They had a week long holiday in East Dulwich and enjoyed it so much they want to come back!

[*Bob*]

Where do they live, Dr De Soto?

Was it a fair swap?
