Apparently, someone brought a WWII bomb in for Mr Green's perusal and he alerted the police as he suspected it was still live! All the houses above the shops and everyone in the vicinity were evacuated, the buses were stopped from going along Dulwich Village. All back to normal now.

Hello,

Does anyone know the name of the antiques shop? Or can perhaps put me in touch with Mr Green? I thought it might make an interesting story for the paper (South London Press).

Feel free to drop me a line.

Surely if a bomb is intact it would be treated as live.

I remember this happened in The Eagle in Battersea (near Cl*ph*m).

A couple of local builders brought one in a wheelbarrow one evening, having dug it up.

The above point being made everyone exited the pub sharpish.

Bomb squad called and everything.

The story I heard was Mr Green, who as well as running the Art Stationers and Toye Shoppe in DV, is THE local historian had some WWII memorabilia dropped into him. One of the items was labelled as an incendiary bomb found in Brockwell Park, either during or after the war. Thankfully he had the sense to phone Old Bill who promptly shut down DV until the thing was declared safe. There are no antique shops in DV anymore, or are there???

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
