There must be someone? It's quite hard to venture out without seeing someone who's been on the telly at some point. Surely these people don't just shop in Sainsbury's?


The famous, notorious or anyone who has been on the telly, ever, for any reason, might like to shop at the Co-op.


Although the Co-op is smaller, people in there might be more likely to be scrutinising the prices than in Sainsbury's, and hence less likely to gawp at you? Also, it's easier to escape from the Co-op, should the need arise.

Define 'famous' please as I haven't a clue as to who most of the ones spotted in Sainsbury's are/were. In fact as I am focussed more on getting in and out of there, be it Sainsb, Co-op, Waitrose, Lidl or wherever before my ice-cream & frozen petit pois turn to mush, it's unlikely that I'll contribute to the thread after this. Caveat: while stocking up on Sainsbury's 3 for ?12 wine recently, I nabbed the last pinot grigio before the woman next to me. Another shopper scowled disapprovingly and told me it was "(insert name)" from Eastenders. (But I guess this should be in "Famous people in Sainsburys"). So there you go. Blissfully clueless.
It would be useful to have a handy guide (like the Observer Book of British Birds) to help identify people who look very familiar but you can't name. It causes quite a lot of social anxiety when the famous are out shopping or walking their dogs and you can't place them and so don't know whether to say hello or not. Honor Oak Rec used to be particularly bad for this, it used to ruin our walks. In this context you tend to be thinking that it's someone's husband you met once, not the bloke from Star Wars. I need to apologise to the Man Who Reads the News for saying hello, how are you, half a dozen times, I wasn't stalking him, I thought I knew him from somewhere. He's terribly polite and never once told me to ****** off.
Well, where do I begin, he was completely blocked the cava fridge there and was grunting and dropping stuff he'd contaminated with his touch, it was most offputting . However the other day I did laugh when the staff there caught the ex male model turned junkie who strides up and down lordship lane looking for stuff to nick) shoving pork chops and chocolate down his half mast beige corduroys

I once saw Ray Mort eating in The Bishop - Ray is best known for his cameo role in Lovejoy. Couldn't believe he was just sat in the Bishop - he was obviously having a great evening and clearly splashing the cash.


I also once saw Jack Nicholson looking at vintage stools on North Cross market.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
