Shame no footage of North cross or lordship lane, I particularly would like to see gateway/bejam in their prime and also the little art shop (kisar) and Binnester toys (now mon petit chou?). Also fond memories of the Foresters before gentrification and before the pub chains took it on.

Hi John, when I was a small kid my mum used to go and visit (and take me with her) an old lady from church who lived in the Underhill Road prefabs (assuming you mean the ones near Friern, which are now allotments). Just asked her and the lady's name was Deana Webb (not sure about spelling). Think she was on her own by then, but her husbands name was George Webb. Do you remember them?

ETA: Before anyone says it, yes I mean the bogs not the customers :))

I liked it too. I think it waqs only really in it's last couple of years that it became home to a particular crowd who had pretty much been barred from everywhere else, and then it was a place I avoided (having had the odd run in whilst growing up). But have some good memories of playing pool in there with my sister.

Start a thread of your own then. One about now, what's to come and how excited you are about it.

Don't think there's anything grumpy about someone telling you to contribute to a thread about something that excites you, rather than telling people on this thread what they should and shouldn't get excited about! No-one is forcing you to take part here are they?

Binester toys!! We moved here in 95 & started having children shortly after - I spent a lot in Binester toys and was sad to see it go (not as sad as I was to lose Woolworths - still in mourning - but that's a whole other thread sure.

I remember the way Northcross Rd suddenly got trendy. First the Arterie, then Mel at the Blue Mountain, and finally Rose At Grace and Favour, she opened virtually same day Blair became PM. Used to love G&F, she did really good cakes in the early days, when she was just a cafe with a few bits for sale.

Way back in 2007, there was a post which linked to footage of a Green Cross advert filmed in North Cross Road. Looks like the seventies to me??

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
