Did anyone else see the man in a cheerleaders skirt and crop top cycling down East Dulwich Road?


Recommended Posts

I'm sure I didn't imagine him.


A man with flowing greying locks, bra top, black & gold ra-ra type skirt, black strappy sandals with cute kitten heels, cycling down East Dulwich Road, in his late 50's, on a man's bike, around 2.30 this afternoon?


Come on someone else must have seen him.


If it was any of you lot, it is time to own up.

It was indeed Dulwichmum. She was on her daily Meths run down to Terry's DIY.


Interestingly she got very confused when Sean's DIY changed to Terry's DIY, cycling straight past it and not realising her mistake until she reached Willesden. Luckily there is a B&Q in that area so she was able to access a bottle of "the blue" before wobbling back.

I see him all the time, mainly waltzing down clapham high street - I think it's fabulous, we could do with a bit more colour in our lives, lest we slip into dull carbon copies of each other. Maybe he could give style tips to the hideous excuse for a clothes store that is 'white stuff' - could be worse, we could all dress like that!

I didn't know it was him. I worked in Clapham High St some time ago and if it's the same guy he volunteered in a charity shop there. He'd be in some days in regular male casual dress and then just turn up in A dress. Could see that he puzzled a lot of the local youth, I heard them use harsh words about him, and considering the proximity of the haves and have nots in the area he was a brave man to even consider it. The buffer zone there is a lot smaller than in ED and he was potentially risking verbal/physical abuse by paddling his own canoe in this particular style.

On the other hand he may have been using the logic of the writer Tom whatsisface (Bonfire Of The Vanities) who always struts around even the meanest of streets in a white suit, hat and cane. He reckons that if you look very different then you are safer than if you try to conform.

Anyway, I'm glad he's still aropund.

You must mean this fella...


We see him/her in our office all the time. Apparently we did a splash on her - front page I should clarify... - a few years ago when Ian, I think he calls himself, lost a load of cash.


He'd spent all the money he got for a house he'd sold after getting squatters' rights and then "invested" it in a autobiography, which bombed. I think that was the story anyway.


Great picture eh? Look closely...

I was reading my book outside Black Cherry when my eyes were drawn to an unfeasibly short skirted (wo)man with legs akimbo, breezing down towards East Dulwich Grove on a sit up & beg push bike. The sun was shining & the assembled males outside the Bish offered up a spontaneous encore of wolf whistles........ Quite a site to behold.
I once met him at a party in Vauxhall square years ago. We had a chat and he seemed like the most normal guy in the world, really nice and interesting. Just goes to show.( not sure what- maybe, dont judge a book...)

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
