Are we name-dropping? I saw one of those cool-as-a-cucumber blonde actresses of a certain age in Barnes wetlands once... we were both pushing children in buggies and exchanged empathetic smiles. And we bought some riding gear from the same sales assistant as Jennifer Saunders and Adrian Edmondson(?) in Harrod's once. And Paul Merton used to lurk around Lavender Hill/Seven Sisters Road... 'cos he lived there... Oh, sorry, "ED"....

I know the Divine Ms Agutter used to live locally - Camberwell Grove IIRC - but thought she had moved out to Cornwall or somewhere?


Fans of "The Railway Children" - the greatest kids' film ever cos it has both Ms A. and steam engines in it - may be intrigued to know that there is to be a new stage version this summer at the NRM in York, featuring a real steam engine onstage!

Oooh, might have to go and see that as I can pretty much recite the film from memory.


BTW I think she had a piece of lemon cake and a coffee - not my personal choice given the availability of scones, but that's celebrities for you. Have also seen her in ED Sainsburys.

Although there may be some Freudians on the board who might want to lend a hand.

But perhaps you have the right instinct, and are going with her other filum 'Walkabout'.

Good idea.

Quite right Ms B. I'm sorry I brought it up.


Though I think the La la las might refer to an Al Green song which will stand you in good stead on the Song Game thread.

I saw a couple of K-list celebs when I lived in East Dulwich. Steven Frost a couple of times in Sainsburys. Oh, and the guy who used to play the bearded teacher in Grange Hill - and played a builder once in Fawlty Towers. That was the first time I ever went to Sainsburys at Dog Kennel Hill, one Sunday afternoon in 1995.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
