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.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
