She never did live in Dulwich. She bought the house, the builders chopped down the trees at the back of the rugby pitch where we used to go for a sneaky cigarette during school, to make way for her garden. All for nothing, she never stayed there.


I too saw a mini motorcade a couple of weeks ago twice coming down LL from the Harvester and turning down Barry Road, no idea why. There didn't seem to be anyone except for the driver in Range Rover which was the main car. Ho hum.

Sweet Knackared Cow,


Indeed it was me. I had been over to Morrisons in Peckham, and well, you can't be too careful (sigh). This Swine Flu situation is making me very nervous, and I decided to do one great big shop on all of the essentials in case stocks run out in the stores. They do not sell high quality hoisery in Peckham so I am off into Sloane Square this morning (even civil disopedience and looting in the streets should be no excuse for wearing poor quality tights and stockings). I bought a couple of trays of Lloyd Grossman pasta sauces, a large quanitity of tinned salmon and tuna, and my body weight in dried pasta and rice and a huge amount of Evian. Those nice police men even helped me to carry it into my home!

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
