he lives over the road from my aunt on Underhill. He's perfectly sane - he's always looked liked that - probably longer than Rod Stewart so don't think he's a wannabe!!

Does anyone know what happened to the "White lady" who always used to be around Camberwell. Is she still around ?

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

There is a thread on here somewhere about her. I think they said she got better.

[SteveT]

Yeah, she got browned off, and left;-)

The DIY shop chap with the amazing hairdo is called Malcolm - I've known him for over 20 years and the hairstyle was just the same back then. On the subject of the so-called "White Lady", I used to see "her" frequently in The Phoenix on Denmark Hill station and in other locations - all in the vicinity of the Maudsley - and I became pretty convinced that "she" was no lady.

[SeanMacGabhann]

the fact that I now know Shaun-DIY-hairdo guy's name has made my day more positive than it has any right to - cheers Bony Fido. And cheers Malcolm

[ratty]

My missus is otm that she now knows the name is Malcolm!

This character's a little bit outside the area, but relevant nonetheless as he may be known to some here.

Old guy who used to frequent Somerfields (as it is now) in Walworth Road. Party trick was to blow raspberries at passer-by shoppers. And very loudly - could be heard as many as four aisles away. His behaviour was usually treated as merely good banter, before security became involved. Still hoping since I moved here he makes an appearance in Lordship Lane, alsa maybe he doesn't do tours.
