Adrian Lester is more than "the guy from Hustle". He's a great actor - I saw him as Henry V at the NAtional some years back and the play was just fantastic. The opening scene where the bishops advise Henry V he has a right to do what he wants to do, invade France, was played as a Blairite cabinet meeting - everyone in suits with PAs dashing about with bottles of spring water. Brilliant that Shakespeare could be used to indict Blair's Iraq initiative.

And Adrian Lester was in the film Primary Colours with John Travolta and Emma Thompson and when they all went on Oprah she thought he really was an American as his USA Accent was so good.

Brenda Blethyn's a local, isn't she. She goes in Beauty Place on Forest Hill Road. Apparently. (ooooooh ouch)

Just caught the 'First Direct' advertisment on tv and I'm sure the guy in the white suit (who,also, played a foreign diplomat in 'The Bill' a few weeks back) used to go jogging in Peckham Park. He used to cross over to the Rye, where the big houses are. Does he still live around here?

I am told that she is now charging people to talk to her and that she is thinking of appointing an agent to handle her social diary. SHe has, however, offered to formally open the Wintergreen Fair for no fee :-)

Indeed, I am a retired brickie from Penge - and my love of the stock of Threshers is indeed well documented!


I am sorry I have been absent a lot of late Mr Popalopagus, but very soon indeed - I shall be back to my old tricks, and your underpants shall be in shreds!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END.

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
