Please support your local author! My name's Jim and I have lived in East Dulwich for more than 10 years. Last year I published a book about my time in the Army - Dog Stags & NAAFI Growlers www.dogstags.co.uk. It's a brutally honest (often at my own expense!) account of what day-to-day life was like as a squaddie in the 80s and 90s: the highs, the lows, the fun and the danger, focusing on three postings: Hong Kong, Belize and Northern Ireland. It's perhaps not one to buy your mother-in-law for Christmas but feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get it into print, and I'm not likely to write another, so please check it out.

It's available at Chener Books, 14 Lordship Lane, and all other good book shops.

Please buy a copy - and let me know what you think.

  Is this a popular event? If great demand for this sort of event on such a small space then so be it. It is just with Peckham Common so very close by just wondering why this is considered a preferable venue for this kind of thing?
- Jason Arnold -- local plasterer, highly recommended

  Another recommendation for Jason who is brilliant all-round. He plastered our rooms and hallways (some walls were blown and needed re-boarding), replaced two ceilings and over-boarded one. From the start he was always communicative, happy to pop by to assess first, and transparent about the various options and their associated costs. He worked thoroughly, going above and beyond to make sure every job was finished to a high standard and is very fairly priced, particularly considering the hours he puts in. We’re so pleased with the results of our flat and have already recommended him unreservedly to others. Also helps that he is just a sound guy who’s really easy to chat to!
- Do you feel unsafe in London?

  Well let’s put it this way - certainly alot more alert when I am in town than I use to be . Don’t feel unsafe just a lot more cautious and aware of my surroundings. Tend to avoid walking anywhere in town as in London or Dulwich etc when it gets dark. Personal choice and certainly more people muttering or talking to themselves than before. Witnessed road rage years ago on Ladbrook Grove in broad daylight - memory still haunts me!!
