Are you sure that the boiler is broken? If the boiler is on when the gas was shut off it will shut itself down automatically and will need to be reset. This normally only involves pushing the reset button, or even just turning off and on again for older systems. Do you have a handbook?

I have been to the sorting office today to find out if 2 packets are there. I was told that all the parcel/packet sorting was being done at SE1 and would be delivered by "white vans" hopefully by this weekend. Strangely, much emphasis was placed on hopefully and white vans! -
You might be right about Curry Cabin coming later but I have remembered two more 39 Chicken Shop was a furniture shop then later a Launderette Across the road, about No. 40 Motor Factors. In the mid 50's 38 or 42 was a bakers, but it may have gone by 1959 Any more?

The Cheese Block was a newsagent/video rental. Police Station was a dodgy s/h car dealers in two shops. Any more?

Not quite on topic because it was not smuggled, but as a kid I was on holiday in Majorca. During this holiday I had collected several sets of matchboxes. Each set of 40 was of things like flags of the world, breeds of dogs, etc. End of holiday, into suitcase they go. All full of non safety matches! Well we all survived , despite the potential bomb in the plane's hold.

Re Stop and search. My son (23 white) has been stopped and the car searched some 8 times in the last 3 months. Each time has been between East Dulwich and Tulse Hill timing varying between 3pm and 2am. He has no convictions and a full clean license. Is it possible that he fits the profile to balance the figures for stop and search?

BicBasher. Somerfield/International was Gateway at one time. Lilolil It's not Walsh Glazing in Penge but Edwardes Bros. Electrical Wholesalers.who were where Nero is now. Also 7/11 or B2 or Londis was a Tesco in the sixties. Iceland/ Bejam site was Pullins the motor dealer at the same time -
I think this might have been in Lordship Lane next to the Mini Mart. This might(?) have been following the bomb damage that took out the block from the 7 11 to the Co op Chemist. I know that there was a cinema at that address.
