WHO CARES??

This is true... I was in the George Canning a couple of years ago and Duncan Goodhew was sitting at the table with 3 other people. I know Duncan to say hello to as he used to come in quite often for a cup of char. After a couple of minutes of small talk with 'me mate Duncan' and his American friends I shook hands with the big guy with the tash and he introduced himself as Mark. Anyway, Mark and I spent the next 20 minutes drinking Guinness and putting the world to rights... then the penny dropped! Mark, American, Big Guy, Big tash ?? 9 Olympic gold medals, 6 in 1968, 6 world records?. Mark Spitz!!! My new best pal Mark Spitz in the George Canning pub Camberwell! Who would have Adam and Eve?d it??

Come on Beat That!!!

Anyway I?m available for autographs any night of the week at a cost of only a small glass of Sherry?????

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
