Again in the bank today my ugly distinctly un-celeb chops were mistaken by a star struck fifty-something woman. Urg.


Weird how people draw totally random connections, some with no pattern. In a lifetime I've been asked if I'm:


- David Tenant after hitting the burgers (this happens mainly in Lloyd's bank branches)

- Dougie Freedman (Ex Crystal Palace boss)

- Pee Wee Herman

- Damian from Home and Away

- Ricky Martin (possibly a compliment but it was back in 1998 and I had a tan)



Yours?

Gaz Coombes from Supergrass, circa 95 when "Alright" came out.


Che Guevara, by a surprising number of people, I never would have said it myself.


And years ago, a character from Northern Exposure (which I never really watched) but think that was just due to long hair and leather jacket.

You can get up and sing (/mime) if you want, I'm sure no-one will know the difference.

Carl McCoy of Fields Of The Nephilim at a Screaming Blue Messiahs gig at the Marquee, in my full on goth days.


Will Self in a cigar shop although to be fair he was next to me and as I glanced in the mirror opposite it was me getting confused. Drink may have been taken.

    • I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.
    • Wanted near Bellenden Road: firewood. If you have any spare or unwanted firewood (e.g. left by previous owners), please let me know. Thanks!
    • I go there quite regularly (don't ask), on my own behalf and as a chauffeur for family. I have never noted people parking up, going in and then straight out again once registered. Some times of day (and some days) are much busier than others, as you might expect, especially during winter vaccination season. 
    • There are a lot of car parking spaces - in order for them to all be filled, it would suggest a local event rather than unrelated shoppers. Does the surgery have records of when the it's full? presume there is some sort of management of it. Perhaps there is a correlation to local activity or a pattern.
