Fine fellows. Those that are to join the Tweed Army of East Dulwich. A snifter in the Plough tomorrow I think.


Should I take up a pipe do you think?


I was thinking of some of those brushed cotton, cheque shirts and possibly a few cravats (paisley). Too much do you think?

As some commentators have suggested that you need professional help Mr P, in your task of putting together a new wardrobe that is, I am willing to put myself forward as your fashion consultant.


May I suggest an outfit for Friday night? It consists of a brilliant white silk shirt and matching white cravat worn under a three piece, crimson, moleskin, plus-four suit. Your pins below the knee will be housed in black silk stockings embroidered in the Japanese style with a willow tree motif on each and coming to rest on feet resplendent in a pair of green tweed Vans (Which I may have to liberate from the possession of a certain local resident but a truly exquisite outfit sometimes means cracking a few eggs.).


Your look will be finished with a gold fob-watch, chain fastened across your waistcoat, a pinkie ring on each hand, one set with a large ruby the other an emerald of equal proportions and for headwear a feathered war bonnet of the type made popular by the Plains Indians.


This ensemble will say: I am a man, a man of the world, well heeled, well travelled, a sportsman but sensitive to the plight of the Native American and I also probably know karate.


Call me. I charge ?1000 a day and I am available on the NHS.

Which is precisely what MP has done Daizie.

In those halcyon days of yore before we had our wonderful pounds shillin's and pence replaced by all that continental nonsense, a cad was defined as a chap who'd offer a lady two ha'pennies when she squirmingly beseeched the loan of a penny: a gentleman was a chap who could play the bagpipes but didn't.


As is entirely fitting for the Chief Bhuna of the Golden Naga. You'll be the Belle of the Ball on EDF curry nights with one of them.


Honaloochie, you given up on that Evil Genius lark? Green tweed Vans hardly seem to be appropriate footwear when striving for world domination, no?

Mr P


Might I suggest old town. Not the Clapham variety but the Norfolk based outfitters. A fine line in period style garments for the discerning gent about town

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
