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??

      Looking for a bakery which sells baked goods with fresh cream - are there any?

      Definitely Ayres, Nunhead. 👍

      Another bakery staple in days gone by - bread pudding. Place bakers(?) where Harry's is now always used to sell big chunks of this. I think Morrisons also used to sell it in a packet of 2 slices. Are bakeries now just dumping their unsold bread? I make bread pudding regularly - use reduced bread from supermarkets ( loaf cost me 22p) and last time made 3 batches one for us plus two for friends.

      Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Went to thee Viet place in LL some time ago and got charged £9 for a pot of tea  Hubby paid bill and did not notice that they had overcharged. Frequently go past the old Moulin restaurant- rarely see people in it. No indication whether they are providing meals as no menu outside (unless they have pit it up in last few days) Got impression that it was a wine bar only. Love Dulwich is usually busy between 12 - 2 pm when they have their lunch time specials  not been there in evening or weekends.

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      By David Peckham · Posted

      They're a supplement, usually made from whey, which are used after weight training. The theory is that weight training tears the muscle fibres (Feel The Burn, No Pain No Gain, etc), protein helps repair this and aid lean muscle growth. The faster you can get protein into your system, the better, so obviously liquids are absorbed faster than solids Beans, poached egg or peanut butter on toast, are pretty typical post training meals to achieve the same thing. They're much like a very thin milkshake or Slim fast, so nothing anabolic. I used them when I was training three or four times a week and the results were pretty good, if I do say so myself.   Cross-post with Ianr
