Robert Glenister (Hustle) was walking past Iceland earlier this week.

He drove off in a new BMW X5.

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...

then I was right - you really are an idiot.

Timothy spall does in fact live in honor oak, just before honor oak station, just look for his jag parked in the driveway. He's lived there for a good 20 years if not longer.

[jimbo1964]

I've seen Spall in The Herne a few times.

[ObsessedwithOlives]

I don't think Timothy Spall lives in Honor Oak anymore - his children only do, however I believe his place is on the market for anyone who's that taken with him!!

I dreamed I saw St Augustine just by the processed peas.

An actor friend of mine borrowed Timothy Spall's red Bromton bike a while back. Not sure if she returned it.

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.

[the-e-dealer]

Im sure i saw the image of a tory politician on a piece of toast. Not a senior one though.

[langlounge]

I hope you didn't butter them up.

[Salsaboy]

Don't spread it about either.

[shelly2012]

[Sophiescarlett89]

I often see Kate Ford (Tracey Barlow off corrie) In dulwich park and seen Shirley from Eastenders too! Also saw Jo Brand in sainsburys local a couple of weeks ago.

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

[roxie99]

Think I spotted Nicholas 'About a boy', 'Skins' Hoult on crystal palace Road week last saturday

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

So if you are in ED and you see someone who looks familiar then they probably are famous- Nicola McAuliffe from Surgical Spirit anyone (awful show -saw it live at the BEEB) seen in Sainsbury's DKH

[Red Jumper]

I saw Gary Barlow coming out of Sally's on LL last week eating a bunch of flowers..

[youandiaredominoes]

I once saw Paul Brooke aka Mr Fitzherbert (t*tspervert) from Bridget Jones Diary in Franklins.

[MW Architects]

I am 99% sure I saw Cameron Diaz in the Cafe on the Rye!
