Much missed places on LL

[Ted Max]

Agreed Re: the Foresters. Wasn't so happy with the pub dog jumping up on the tables, but it wasn't as bad as people make out. Was it the Millwall fans and the big screen that put people off? They were a more open and varied crowd in there than you get now.

I also miss the large fruit'n'veg stall with the bloke with the flat hat 'n' beard (also a Foresters regular - not surpisingly as it was right next door) and his female accomplice. Very handy that place was.

The lady who ran the top shop now works in a bakers in Peckham.. Gregs I believe.

Was she the owner or a manager on the payroll? If they could have held on a couple of years longer think of the money they could have made.

That fruit and veg place had been there for years... I loved it.. The older lady used to work there too, thats a real shame that had to go :)

Foresters was a dump! Although admittedly I never visited it during it's 90s heyday.

I certainly do. I lived right opposite in Quorn Rd at the end of the 80s and used to nip in there all the time at two or three in the morning for a little bit of gear and half dozen Red Stripes.

jah those were the days, i had my first ever toke of skunk in that place how i ever made it back up the road i,ll never know, but i remember waking up and there was a kitten in the kitchen which i had somehow or other picked up on the way back, happy days.

[Jah Lush]

Wha'ppen Spadetownboy, you probably floated back up the road I should think. I lived there way before the paranoia, schizoprenia inducing skunk came on the scene and if I was lucky I usually got a little Sensimillia with my Red Stripes. Proper sensible herb. The Weed of Wisdom.>:D

If any more cats going missing in East Dulwich, may I suggest we search Spadetownboy's bedroom!
