I think you are a much properer person, as would I be right in guessing you are actually famous (as counts for hereabouts anyway) and are actually the same Vivienne who spoke and all on a radio programme that was on BBC 7 in middle of night recently. I had flu so might have been hallucinating, I seem to recall an antelope and some very nice guitar music which I wouldn't have minded dying to, and then, this chap who is coming Thurs starting taking to a Vivienne...really, I wouldn't have wittered on at you if I had known you were so posh.


It is not fair really I expect if you start a Nunhead Forum it will all focus on the unattainable glamour of Nunhead Lane and down here we will be left with nothing to say but "Is Ivydale the longest and most boring road in the world?" "Yes" "Hm, I thought so".

No I am not famous although I have performed under the Alias of "The artist who formally wishes not to be introduced". The Antelope (Kevin Eldon) and the guitarist (Most probably Antonio Forcione) where brought together on the "Big Booth" for Radio 4 By no less than the hugely talented and wonderfully comic performer and musician BOOTHBY GRAFFOE who is on on Thursday at PULL THE OTHER ONE

. What Chap? Where? When?



what makes you think I'm posh? is it my accent? (actually I grew up with a Welsh accent) When I came to London in my late teens I was told it was important that I lost my accent or I would not get any work. ...this was a long time ago...and of course that wouldn't be allowed now,...If someone said that now, the accent police would be on them!!


Hey some of my proudest work I've done as a Cockney!!


Don't worry Snooze Queen I have no intention of starting anything or focusing on unattainable glamour....I just want to have a bit of a larf innit!


You're right, Sorry about Ivydale road it really is very long and very boring .I rode down it yesterday and thought ...fancy having to to walk this every morning and to Work! and then all the way home at the end of the day!. Maybe the Forum could apply for a tree top walk to be built along the wall of the cemetry so that commuters could have some views and green on their way to work...or better still a little tram shuttle just going up and down the road...it would be a great opportunity for people to socialize....Same driver, all the old folks taken care of . Too uncool for the teenagers to travel on.....the knitting group could meet on it!! ooops I seem to have gone off at a tangent....maybe I am posh...is it nice of you to say so? I can't really tell, mind you if you dont witter on at posh people what does that say about me to you?

Posh is just what I would count anyone who has been on Radio 4 (and poss even BBC7). It's extremely posh for round here.


It is good you have experienced Ivydale Road, it may be responsible for the general air of low spirits that affects us. Riding it is cheating though. To get the full benefit you do have to walk it, twice a day, 5 days (x 47 weeks).


Treetop walk is idea of genius. There is a path that runs along the other side of the cemetery from Borland Rd down to the station but it's so narrow and scary that not used. It could be infilled with building rubble and raised to tree height, thus creating delightful and stimulating daily experience and transforming entire population and area.


Please put in bid for funds.

I don't understand why? No one from Peckham has asked for a forum but some people from Nunhead have. I think people are preferring it to be based in on the area "Nunhead" than the postal code but I may be wrong.


I guess it's best to ask those who would use a forum for Nunhead, would they prefer to have the Nunhead Forum or their own section of the Peckham Forum? Let us know...

I used to live in Nunhead years ago and its post code is SE15. The address went like this;

Evelina Road,

Nunhead,

Peckham,

London SE15. Technically Nunhead, Queens road, Peckham etc are all part of each other. The 'trendies' that live in Nunhead nowadays probably would prefer not be part of Peckham.


Peckham/Nunhead is SE15, KK, not SE22.

No one is saying that it's in SE22, we all agree that it is in SE15, the I think point is that it is Nunhead, and some people who live in Nunhead have asked for a Nunhead forum i.e. not a Nunhead forum which is part of a Peckham forum.


Oh and technically the address for Sopers is:

F C Sopers

141 Evelina Road

LONDON

SE15 3HB


No mention of Wandsworth at all.

I never really knew where Nunhead precisly covered.


Apparently these are the wards...

'17' is titled Nunhead.


I was surprised it went so far north, and seems to encompass quite a lot of areas that I thought of as Peckham.


Given that Nunhead has it's own rights and representation, I'd see no reason for feeling it to be a 'burb of Peckham. Stand up for your rights I say.


I reckon Peckham's getting a bit uppity if it wants to consider itself a 'district'.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
