If you do a search for "dream machine" on the forum you will find the owners post on here regularly - as well as selling music they also host live music and had a great launch party in the constitutional hall as well.


I have however made a mistake re: John the owner. In the past I compared him to the latest Mike Myers film - when in actual fact he IS Warren Ellis from the Bad Seeds/Dirty Three

David Essex!!!! Ye Gods! I was in there the other night too with the lovely Tillie Trotter. I must have missed that bit and thank the Lord for that. I would have run screaming from the building with my hands over my ears.


Joey2, just pop into the Dream Machine and tell them you've got some albums you'd like to get rid of and I'm sure they'll be able to tell you what you can do with them if they can't get rid of them themselves.

Thanks Jah Lush, thanks to Tillie Trotter I know who you are too! I've spoken to you many a night in the Drum and you never remember my name! Must be my lack of bar presence :-(


I met John (I think that's his name) the owner of Dream machine and told him I'd bring my records down but just wanted a rough idea of what kind of fortune I'll be making from my albums! Probably not much as there aren't any David Essex albums

Sorry Joey2 but I'm terrible with names but I never forget a face. Introduce yourself to me again next time I'm in there and I'll probably forget who you are again the next time we meet. It's nothing personal. I think you'll find it's called alcoholic amnesia. The Drum seems to have that affect on me.


Good luck with the records.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
