Evening all,


I wrote little thing about West Norwood, past and present, that may be of interest to some of you.

I'm ashamed to say that it's full of swearing, sex and drug references. They keep asking me to desist, but I can't, they're my favourite things.


TDR

Saw Star Wars at West Norwood Library in '77 on a primary school trip, moved out of there to ED in '80 due to heroin needles being left in the green outside our house, dad made the right choice. I bet West Norwood has changed a bit, used to drink at The Rosendale in the mid-late 90s when it was a rowdy boozer (the best kind).
My parents moved to West Norwood in '76. I hated it. When we moved there my dad and I did a pub crawl. Jack Stamps was then the Thurlow Arms. I saw Wreckless Eric do a cracking gig there in 1980. The Hope I have to say was probably the only decent boozer around in those days, though The Horns was ok ish. The rest of 'em were all hell holes. As soon as I could afford to leave home and move back to Dulwich I did.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
