Niche interest admittedly, but rumour has it that Sean O'Hagan's an SE22 man.  Does anyone know if  he was ever (or still is)  a local man; and and if so, if he'd accept a pint from a local admirer?  Here's hoping!  Nothing ventured .....

the recent (excellent) BBC documentary on Microdisney (still on iPlayer) has several interviews with Sean and Cathal just before Cathal's passing - Them walking through Peckham Rye etc. Cathal did used to live in SE22 but moved out towards Limehouse years and years back but I believe Sean is still local yes

 

(my review of the documentary in no way influenced by my lumpen head appearing several times)

Yes, Sean is definitely still local. And the High Llamas have two London gigs later this month (Cafe Oto and The Lexington) but both are sold out. Great band, as were Microdisney. You might like to follow Brian O'Neill's Dimple Discs record label, which has released a lot of Cathal Coughlan's music, and Brian puts on great gigs locally: https://dimplediscs.bandcamp.com/

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
