I was at the National Curry Chef of the Year competition in Bournemouth.


My then-client forced me to phone BBC Asia and see if they were going to cover the curry chef story anyway (under pain of sacking). I was fairly junior in my PR career at the time and naively did what she asked. While everything was going on in New York, India and Pakistan were amassing troops (and I think something nuclear) on the Kashmiri border.


The journalist I spoke to was kind but genuinely appalled, and asked me if I didn't realise that the world was never going to be the same again. I realised he was right and so anaesthetised myself with gin, and lost the client anyway.

      Indoor market in East Dulwich - Would you be interested?

      By kford · Posted

      "I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff."   I remember that little bric-a-brac, at the back of the solicitors' place. Still got a block type panel from there. The old solicitors on the corner would could be a good venue for a few indoor stalls

      Indoor market in East Dulwich - Would you be interested?

      By NewWave · Posted

      I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
