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
iam so glad that Kenny is well he was one of our regulars at the mag and we held a ve day and Kenny was up and singing all the songs it was a great day and he started the fly pass out one door into the next one he made the day enjoyable for so many he was a very kind man and tried to help us with lots of things we tried to do eg the santa sacks for great Ormond hospital where everyone brought a small gift for the sacks iam glad you are doing this for him

    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
