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,

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
