I've seen a few "famous" people in ED.. unfortunately "That guy from that program.. you know the funny one!" or "him that did that thing with wossername" don't really come across well on a forum !


(there was the old geezer from Who's line is it anyway ..wossisname? Stephen Frost! seen him a couple of times)


However, not ED but quite a few mornings when I walk from Kings Cross St Pancras to Camden road I'll get a nod from Simon Callow ;) He usually looks very gruff so I never make to stop him but give him the knowing "I know who you are but don't want to disturb you" smile ;)

Is there a statute of limitations on the spottage?


I bumped into Paul Slack the former bass player of the UK Subs in the Herne Tavern about 20 years ago.

Though as I used to work with him in the Boots in Clapham Junction when we were schoolkids it might not count.


So just ignore me if you want.

I think they DID get photo approval. I think they think they look just lovely. I'm an adoptive parent and I must say that the Elton John baby story proves that you CAN buy children.

The most famous person I have met is Paul Yarrow alias 'The News Raider'(Known by the press all over the World from the United States,Canada,Malaysia,Japan,China,Austrailia,New Zealand,South Africa,Germany,Italy,Spain,Greece,Turky,France,Sweeden,United Kingdom,Ireland etc),for his passive media protest against the discrimination of overweight people etc by appearing on live news broadcasts across the World like BBC1,BBC3,ITV,Channel 4,Alja zera T.V,Fr1,C.B.S,ABC etc,etc. Sadly Paul has had a recent bereavement loosing his mother to cancer.She was diagnosed early,but sadly no prevention,she was told by a consultant that she had several years to go.Three months later she was back at King's College Hospital were she was offered pallative Care and she died three weeks later.Paul is suspicious about his mother's sudden death and about private decisions made by consultants behind closed doors.He plans to go to the Independent Complaints Commission,Patients Complaints etc,etc and the anti-euthenasia charity 'Care Not Killing',Paul also plans to go Pensioners Campaigns and Age Concern and Local Involvement Networks to raise issues.This is not the first time he has raised issues with King's. It is good to find people like him raising these valid issues.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
