HI Jim,


I have seen an ariel shot fo the ground, on FA Cup day I believe, but can't remember where it was for the life of me. It looked like the White Horse final though, a sea of flat caps.


Out of interest did you then come into Hoopers after the game? I was there for the rugby.

The old stadium was knocked down as part of the whole sainsburys malarkey. It was one of the venues of the 1948 olympics. I never got to see it but it was, from what the locals tell me, impressive if dilapidated.


This was the only photo I could find

The old stadium was impressive - the first time I saw it in the mid-80s it completley perplexed me I was thinking whose ground is that? can't be Millwall's, surely Palace is further away etc...it was a proper football ground....now it's the 'fresh fish' counter and lego shoe box

SO have the hamlets ever had any young starlets go on to make their fame and fortune from the game? I think I heard that Peter Crouch was loaned to Fished for a short while, but does anyone know any others. There was some chap sold to Charlton t'other day was there not?


I live next door to the Hamlets and really should go one day!

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
