You must be talking about the 1980s - at least that's the last time I remember going there before it closed. Deep fried spare ribs with chips were a dream. As to your query, though, I can't help. You know more about him than me. All I remember was the food and his very basic grasp of English (if we are talking about the same person). I wish I could find a place that makes the food as good as it used to be there.

Apparently an enforcement officer with a hand held camera will be monitoring traffic and photographing speed limit transgressors very soon, possibly from tomorrow, on Herne Hill and Denmark Hill, so be warned. Will buses manage to climb the road from the Half Moon Lane end of this stretch at 20mph? Will cyclists also be monitored?

I live in West Norwood and had a similar experience. A tall black lady, late 30s/early 40s knocked at my door at 12.45am as my house had a light on, she was a local neighbour (she wasn't because I knew the people in the house she said she came from), she wanted ?6 for the meter to boil water to make her 6-year-old son a drink. Either she was casing the joint (as we had had some burglaries a couple of nights before, or she was just trying it on. I said I couldn't help her.
