I complimented her. I told her that she was more beautiful at the checkout than she'd looked in a magazine photo I'd seen the same week. She seemed pleased and talked to me. I was made up. I'd say from what she had in her trolley and the car she was driving that she has a better paid job than me!

A few years ago, the missus passed Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and another guy (American accent, seemed vaguely familiar but she couldn't think who he was) on Northcross Rd. From the way they were looking around at things, we figured they may have been scouting the area. And of course, Terry Jones used to live in Camberwell.
Yesterday Mrs B and I were walking down LL. This girl walked past and I was convinced she was someone off telly or something as her face looked so familiar. Anyway I pondered over it as we continued our walk and it struck me, she was in fact one of the girls who tends bar in the Magdala. So from now on I shall consider all the people who tend bar in ED as local celebrities.

I think there should be a Celebrity ED ladder ranked by kudos.


Top Tier - International Stars of Film and/or Music

Members would include Michael Gambon, Terry Gilliam


Second Tier - Credible UK TV Actors/Pop Stars

Timothy Spall


Third Tier - Not so credible TV Actors/Pop Stars/Comedians

Nesbitt, Eclair


Fourth Tier - Soap Stars/ TV Journalists

Her from Eastenders/Bad Girls, Her from Corrie, Anyone who has appeared in Heartbeat/The Bill, Jeremy Bowen

OK, how about Fantasy East Dulwich Celebrities? You get points for each celebrity you spot, we would just need to firm up the categories and point values. The lesser-spotted Gambon would be quite rare so would be worth a lot more than your common or garden Nesbitt.

I'm new to this forum and only discovered it through searching this topic. I saw Erin O'Connor last Saturday lunchtime in The Cambria pub near Loughborough Junction and was trying to confirm that it was her and not sby who looks like her. Having seen your posts, I'm now certain it was her.

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.  
    • I see what you mean.  Perhaps the "alcohol licensing flyer for Tesco Express on the Poundland site" confirmed by the OP has been removed then.
