Suspected WWII bomb/incendiary device in the "antiques shop" (thought that had closed some time ago).

Just spoken to Mr Green and all the evacuees have been allowed home now.

What a strange thing to collect as an antique. Must be worth a bomb though.

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???

Laughed out loud at this after a tough day. I haven't been on the ED Forum for a while and I've missed it. Glad all is well now.

Jah Lush: Headline was too good not to be used...

Good thinking Mr Green... well played sir.

jumpinjourno gets the scoop.. leaving poor old Sam at the SLP trailing in his wake.

Can anyone help out?

We just need one more headline incorporating some kind of bomb pun.

Here's mine:

"Antntique puts rocket up Dud-lich Village"

"Shopkeeper with Short Fuse blasts customer"

I say Jah Lush, perhaps you should seek out employment in Her Majety's Press? :))
