Hi all, I am reaching out to all you guy's to help me with my uncle Kenny, He is an old timer of East Dulwich, Born in the 1940's He grew up in and around the area, He was a drinker for years and would get about so much, Down th e Mag,The Palm, East Dulwich tavern, He could chat for hours and his singing was dreadful, although no-one ever told him this, He left London around 9yrs ago now and came up north in Doncaster to be near me, He was on his own down London and was struggling abit so moved for support, Although he still gets about up here in Doncaster and is well known in the Pub circuit, he talks about London so much and talks of his old friends, I am wondering if anyone remembers him, and if they do could I suggest an idea that you write him a letter, He is getting older and seems so what depressed at times, I really want to cheer him up, and feel this could help him, Thankyou all to whomever can help.xxxx Inbox me if you do remember him and would like to help.

Wow, already got reply's, Yes Kenny did work in the Library and also drank in the Mag quite a few years ago, His mates also included Strawberry, I think Dennis, AKA Monks,Rutherthud, (Think that is spelt right) and I know the well's family, My mum knew Shelia, Johnny,Alfie, How amazing is this. He lived in Dulwich before moving in with my mum on the denmark hill estate, and then ended up here, I will inbox you his address, But I wont tell him until he comes round with the letter.xxx I am so happy for him.
Hello Sarah , your uncle Kenny was great friends with my husband John John and his brothers Terry and Nobby. He would also remember Del , Ponytail, Jim . When Kenny moved all his friends lost touch so it is great to know he is still about in the pubs singing Georgia. Please tell him we all miss him. I will pm you for his address
The Neal Brother's?....Yes he was, He would take me down the pub with him when i was younger, i used to be fascinated with his life and his friends i felt proud my uncle knew so many people,I remember Pony was the DJ Down the Oglanda, Christ i have such a memory just shows how much me uncle showed me. I have in boxed you a message along side his address, I'm so happy for him it will raise a smile i am sure.xx

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
