I don't know Manda, so if I was asked, for no good reason at all to say, posit an appropriate song on the matter all that occurs is Toyah Wilcox's 'It's A Mystery'.


For such it is.

Been asked by someone who knows me to explain my first post which they thought was starnge. Michael Caine starred in a film in the mid 80's called Mona Lisa ( yes the explanation is that simple) with Bob Hoskins, it was a gangster type film. Of possible interest might be the fact that some scenes were filmed at the community centre next to Dulwich medical centre, fronting Daryl Road and backing onto CPR. Of great co-incidence, at that time Brenda Blethyn lived nearby in CPR, and went on to star in a film with Michael Caine called "Little Voices" (I think that was it's title), also starring Jane Horrocks. To para-phrase, I wonder how many people know that!!!!
I knew that cos I went there and so did my father who was mates with him, hence the interest in this post. I remember my old art teacher, who was only about 200 yrs old at the time and whose name escapes me for the moment, constantly telling me stories about what they got up to, all denied by my father !!!! I wonder if EDOldie went there too?

    • Don't see an issue at all. Siunds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!
    • Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?
    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?
