couldn't help but notice the unusual half term activity in Townley road this 1/2 term. Instead of lots of parents picking up children, we have a film crew, lighting, catering dept. all very exciting. the name of the school has even changed.


the alleyns website is mysteriously quiet on the matter.


anyone know what's going on?

I could not refuse it when they called round home and asked me to play the part of a teacher, they would not let me use my zimmer, and sat me behind the desk and took it away out of sight, I had learned my lines in time, but when shown the finished bit they had replaced my cockney voice with a more well spoken voice.

They had wanted a teacher with white hair but as I only have hair around my bald head I had to wear one of those flat Mitre Boards.

It was quite an experiance, not been in a film since " They were not Devided " A war film in 1950.

I was a German Sniper in a tree, got shot fell out and run over by a Sherman Tank.

When it came out later in the Regimental Cinema the lads cheered knowing it was me.

Several of us got bit parts we were just sitting by the side of the road when the crew came by and asked us to fill a few places, I think we got ten bob each for our stardom.



I have still got a copy of the film.


Pics att.

Waiting for Stardom & The war torn Village of Volsiefen,

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
