Off you go to Peckham Rye Park. The pavements are very very slippery where the kids (sorry, mostly kids) scrape off their muddy boots before climbing aboard the 4x4 to be chaufferred home.... leaving nice muddy pavements for the rest of us to slip on. On a less cynical and growling note though, I do see more mature men playing football there Sundays sometimes, the southern end, and it may be worth going there on a Sunday morning and asking if you can join in?

Ta - it was watching them yesterday that got me thinking about it! Twas a wonderful Autumnal scene - all that was missing for me was the smell of deep heat.


However, not sure I have the courage to sidle up to the players and ask if I can join in. The alternative I guess is to just start playing and see if anyone notices. . . .

I invite my mates round on some random Sundays for a kick about. Either Peckham park or Dulwich. If there are free nets we play the game - one either side of the goal with one in goal and take shots. It's as jumpers for goalposts as it gets. We're rubbish as well.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.
