As it got a bit confused back there, i'll pop this lot down:


There once was a man from East Dulwich

Who had a terrible skull itch

So he took some pills

Which cured all his ills

And remembers again why he left Harwich


There was a young man from Goose Green

Who felt an urgent need to vent his spleen

So he went on the forum

And proceeded to bore 'em

With rants about Bush and the Queen


Whilst strolling along Lordship Lane

I looked up to see an aeroplane

and within a flash

I broke into a dash

As its loos had let loose 'yellow rain'


A mother with child, overheard

The warbling of a very strange bird

it seemed to be singing

and turds it was flinging

That were left by an elephant herd


As I looked out from Dawson's Heights

Through the haze from my Marlborough Lights

I said 'this is a farce'

and pulled from my arse

The coke that I'd hidden on the flight


There was a young lady called Nancy

Who like to wear shoes that were fancy

she went down to Peckham

To see David Beckham

Who was shopping with Abbey Clancy



A lady called Dulwich Mum

had a classic 'east dulwich bum'

'twas clad in white denim

And she'd pulled the hem in

and poured herself coke and rum


A lady called Dulwich Mum

had a classic 'east dulwich bum'

Which was trim but yet bouncy

The best in the county

and admired as she lay in the sun

There was a new shop named Moxton

that moved to East Dulwich from Hoxton

Their slippery eels

resembled baby seals

but was soon bought out by Foxton (s)





There once was a school named JAGS

which gave the kids free fags

At lunch time they puffed

Tho their mums were not chuffed

with the holes in their designer glad rags




A nice Irish lad named Sean

spent all his time looking at porn

He came all a cropper

When he suffered a dropper

Although that was abit like the norm

All this limerick business has reminded me of an apalling thing I did about 12 years ago. I fancied a friend of a friend and knowing where he worked (a trendy media establishment in Soho), I hand delivered a limerick I had written (luckily I can't remember the words but they were based on my unrequited love for him) to reception and I DIDN'T PUT IT IN AN ENVELOPE ... what was I thinking??

    • Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
    • Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
    • Ah, thanks,  it all comes flooding back. I've actually been to the Hastings shop, I'd forgotten all about it, along with her name! Didn't she (in between?)  take over what  was then The Magnolia, previously The Magdala, now The Lordship, with her then partner? Or is that some figment of my imagination?  In fact, didn't they transform it from The Magdala (much missed) to The Magnolia? With flowery wallpaper covering the front of the bar? Which reminds me of the pub's brief period after The Magnolia  as the ill-conceived and ill-fated The Patch.
