They wanted £1.77 for an orange not so long ago on my first (and last) visit. Looks nice though. I do miss Pretty Traditional on North Cross Road.

Stopped going when they wouldn’t take my cash at the gate.

Pickleball played at Sydenham Tennis Club, Springfield Road, SE26 (opposite St Christopher’s Hospice). 176 and 197 bus routes.

Wee Willie Harris, 90, ‘Wild Man of Rock and Roll’, inspiration to the Beatles and one of Ian Dury’s reasons to be cheerful.

At the risk of appearing pedantic, Elephant & Castle isn’t a roundabout.

Richard Weekes is a passionate advocate for chess and has been running clubs in south London for many years, including Herne Hill and Forest Hill, I believe. https://www.rwcworldwide.com/

Who’ll be the first to spot him in Sainsbury’s?

Wouldn’t it just be simpler to get the first cab off the rank?

Upload a ?selfie? maybe? Or go to a post office. Pretty sure they can take your photo and deal with the paperwork.

Try Lloyds Pharmacy on North Cross Road.

Kelly's Post Office London Directory used to be published every year with a list of businesses for every street. No idea if any of these are still available (libraries or online, maybe?). I've just dug out a 1982 version from the attic but there's nothing to add to previous posts by way of pubs etc. There's a 'Kegs (Beers and Minerals) Ltd' listed at No. 18 Nunhead Lane, on the south side, but I can't imagine this would be what the OP was referring to as 1982 is a bit too recent.

Tony Crosland was educated at Highgate (a minor public school certainly) and Trinity College, Oxford. Not Charterhouse for the record.

Couldn't you just dispose of it and then wash your hands?

Go on, Dan, tell us the jokes!

But it sounds like the OP might be public-spirited enough to be considering voluntary litter-picking on a more regular basis, in which case it might be unnecessarily complicated to put out a request on the EDF, or elsewhere, every time. Thanks for teaching me a new word though - 'midden'!

Couldn't you just buy one? They're very handy and not particularly expensive.
