He lives in East Dulwich - opposite us, in fact. Came round the other day saying he'd do our windows later but could I give him twenty quid...

Naomi Watts and Naveen Andrews were filming the Diana flick in the Chicken Cottage (!) on the Lane a few weeks back - didn't see them, but read about it in the Standard yesterday. Scroll down to "Assignation of the heart" - http://www.standard.co.uk/comment/comment/a-leaf-out-of-the-good-book-of-mormon-8300384.html
In the spirit of the OP I once saw Nicholas Gleaves in Barry's Food Stores. He used to be in Playing The Field and is now in Scott & Bailey. I've also seen Brenda Blethyn in the chemist. No she wasn't buying anything embarrassing and neither was I.
I always see M. Flanagan buying beer at the off license on Upland road toward Lordship Lane...The blue place but I know what you mean about the anxiety of recognizing someone and not knowing from where. I once saw a (somewhat) famous actress in a NY store and asked her if we knew each other (I was living there...I wasn't a tourist). She rolled her eyes and said, I don't think so! Later I realized who she was and have boycotted her (few) films ever since...

I might have been mistaken but i'm sure i saw Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie doing their weekly shop at the Lordship Lane Co-op the other day, they were in the baby section, buying nappies.

I should have taken a picture and sold it to Hello! magazine.

No that was me and my wife. Easy mistake to make. We're gorgeous.

Famous people do eat and drink. They also probably prefer a bit of privacy regarding where they live.


Never really understood why people would say they have seen a famous person in a conversation. My theory is it's the closest they themselves expect to get to any fame in their boring lives.


I've seen Bla Bla.


Really? I'm so amazed. Hold on let me have a seat, tell me more. Do you mind if I forum this? Ah gee thanks

It's just light hearted chat so relax. No one's stalking anyone or peering through their windows so what does it matter!

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
