I was working as a waitress in a cocktail.... No, no, no, I was working as a waitress in a seafront hotel in Ramsgate and was being paid 20p AN HOUR (this in 1975 or so) and a bottle of Cresta was also 20p. That advert brought it all back, thanks for that Red Devil! After having my purse stolen by a customer I told the manager to stuff their 20p and walked out, and got a job working as a waitress in a cocktail b.... nooooo, in a seafront caf? in Margate. Much better pay!


And yes, CHAMPAGNE!!!!!!!!

The Cherry Cola.

And Cream Soda.

Margate's on the up. First the Turner Contemporary art gallery, and now a new ITV comedy/drama, Edge of Heaven, based on an 80's themed guest house in Margate. What's not to like? :)

SMBS make their own. Prices fluctuate...

    • Evri left a parcel for her on our doorstep. If anyone knows her could they (or preferably Esther) DM me. Thank you!
    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).  
    • I don't! But I've also taken to calling myself David, as it seems to shorten the odds of achieving something in life. It's not King Dave, Dave Lloyd George, Dave Hockney, Dave Bowie or Dave Hasselhoff is it? And I'm not sure Michelangelo would have had such success if he'd called his sculpture 'Dave'.
    • I think there is still a shoes/clothes recycling bank outside of North Dulwich station.
