Haven't seen anyone famous in East Dulwich for a year or five, but the very first time I went in Sainsburys at Dog Kennel Hill I saw the bloke who played 'Bullet' Baxter in Grange Hill (Michael Cronin), and I saw Steve Frost there a couple of times.


Oh, I saw a woman who was a regular in Brookside in the late '80s on East Dulwich Grove, about 8 years ago. She was also in an episode of Red Dwarf.

Miranda Richardson! now that's a new one. I'm pretty sure we haven't had her on here before. Here's another one who I sometimes bump into (not literally of course) because I think she lives around the corner from me. Waiting for a bus on Lordship Lane - Helen Lederer. Not hugely well known I know but...there you go.

yes, well admittedly Miranda was a few years back now and she did have the slightly distracted look of someone just 'passing through'.

ooh, and the chap that plays Catherine Tate's grandson to her gran character. Seen him twice. Don't know his name but could be one to watch. Bit like James Nesbitt. When he was first spotted around here, he was only a bloke in a chocolate advert.

Miranda Richardson did live in Forest Hill in the middle/late 80s...."a few years back" you say? :)) Could have been visitng old friends of course...

Aha, I've got a good one here!


Bloke off ITV Play - you know, that late night thing when you come home drunk, switch on the TV and there's some bloke with spiky hair gurning at you saying "Can you guess what the word is? Do you fancy a grand? Come on, pick up the phone. Imagine what you'd do with the money. If you don't pick up the phone you can't win. But if you do, you could win. So what are you gonna do..." etc etc. ad nauseam.


I think he looked a bit pleased when I clocked him. Perhaps he doean't get recognised that much?

Stuart Staples from Nottingham band The Tindersticks must live around here because I've seen him twice in the last year - once on a weekday afternoon in a bar in Forest Hill (not on his own, with some "Scene" type people)


For those going "Tinder-who?" they are most likely known as the band that Tony Soprano comes out of his daze to near the end of Series 1 (track called "Tiny Tears". They make up an ocean you know)

Capt.B said - "BBC News reporter John Pienar (sp?) was at the Fair on Sunday"


He was in the Soft Play area at Peckham Pulse with his daughter(?) a while back. My lil' boy (about 18mths) went over to him, pointed and started saying Bear, Bear. Pienar found it pretty amusing.


Also saw Adrian Lester in Blue Mountain with his little girl (?) not that long ago.

I haven't read the whole thread so don't know if this one's been mentioned already - Last year Kelly Brook and Billy Zane having coffee at the deli in the village. Deli had never been so busy!

I was sitting in the Dog one afternoon when the Queen and her hubby drove through the village, fairly low key only two outriders with them. They were however in the tall windowed fish tank style car so we got a good look.

Apparently Erin O'Conner lives in ED and has been spotted in Sainsbury's.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.
