Agreed, an inspirational human being, whose fight for justice made this world a better place.



?Let bygones be bygones. Let what has happened pass,? he said upon release, rejecting any suggestions of violent revenge. ?Take your knives and your guns and throw them into the sea,? he told his followers.

RIP Nelson Mandela.


What a privilege to have lived when this great man lived.


I hope his legacy can continue in all of us.


Hope Not Hate have opened a book of condolence which will be open for five days and then be delivered to the South African Embassy. What does Nelson Mandela mean to you? http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/mandela-tribute

Mother Teresa doesn't belong on this list. Very misguided person. RIP Mandella though.


I came face to face with NM once. I had a boyfriend who lived in Muswell Hill. I was on my way to my BF's house and I saw Nelson Mandella walking from a house to a car. I stood and stared and eventually said hello and he smiled and got in the car. It was an extraordinary moment. You don't expect to come across a legend in a London suburb. I told my boyfriend and he said, oh yeah, there's an ANC guy with a house in my street.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
