Queen Mary stopped off there once. She was on her way to see the rhododendrons in Dulwich Park (which she did annually, according to what I’ve read) and asked her driver to stop so she could speak to the owner. 

Queen Mary? When was that?

Surely the prefabs must have been built after the war, so after 1945?

And surely it would have taken some time for the garden to mature?

And the person who lives there now and is such a keen gardener  would hardly have been born then?

Agree the garden is always a delight, old school planting. Queen Mary didn't die until 1953 so possibly she spoke to original tenants which I've always assumed, perhaps incorrectly, to be current tenant's parents? I'm also glad the new builds do not detract in any way from the garden. It must be one of the last lived in prefabs in London.

    • they probably frequent the parks more in summer when there are more people around, dropping food etc.  Likewise, I haven't seen as many in my garden recently. 
    • The discussion has been about the silence from certain posters about Truss's disastrous actions. Your 'gotcha' is merely a deflection.
    • The banking crisis was a global event which enabled the Tories victory and to this day is somehow used against Labour  covid and furlough are under events which impacted economy.  But guess what? Not just the uk economy! energy prices a result of the Russian invasion, something Johnson said would never happen and as we seek to remove ourselves from non-renewable and Russian controlled natural resources, we have Tories and reform condemning Labour for pursuing renewables. Something most other sane countries are doing  We must also not forget the mad relative in the attic.  Brexit.  Something which contributed massively both to the black hole and to the foreseeable future lack of growth  (this is something starmer has also bizarrely tied himself to. Presumably in an attempt to placate the media/loons who think it was a good idea but which will fail in both aims)
    • Ah, so unforeseeable events didn't add to the "black hole"  Gotcha
