I heard her being interviewed on Radio 4 a couple of years ago and aside from being a Dulwich gal, (by way of Trinidad & Tobagao) she's an extremely well-accomplished woman. Chairman of BAFTA, VP of the Royal Commonwealth Society and a Liberal Democrat Life Peer to name but a few (but I won't hold that against her!)


Not sure when Big Ted was a big sports name.

We won't object here in Catford if you want to join us on our turf to see it carried down Rushey Green. For us it'll bring back memories of last August, although this time people will be running away from the Catford Gyratory wearing trainers, rather than carrying armloads of them.

I checked the official web site just now but the street level route still has not been posted for Southwark yet. The dotted line that sits over Peckham is just a random blob to indicate the borough isn't it? Is it posted somewhere else?

I'm finding the bbctorchcam strangely compulsive. There are a lot of very excited people out there - and seeing the enthusiasm of people for their local torch bearers and pride on the face of the torchbearers, is quite uplifting. There's so much negativity in the press about the Olympics that it's good to see some genuine excitement


Suspect it's a bit late though to start a campaign to get it to come through ED though - this time last year, possibly!

Oh Come now,

its a once in a lifetime experience, not quite like the jubilee, i have fond memorys of the last one (still got the mug!) but the flame!!!, although i think that the health and safety brigade have got their underwear in a twist what with a runner equiped with a fire extiguisher followin at a discreet distance behind is taking it a little far i fear, what would they have done during the blitz or a heaven17 gig!

It's defo close on 26 July. Go to this web address:

Then click on search the map and enter your postcode.


The final routes for the last two dates have not been released but there is a rough overlay of approx where it will be.

I agree. I can't think of anything that I could possibly find less interesting than standing in the street to watch someone run past carrying a torch. I'm glad that it doesn't seem to be coming to close to East Dulwich - just imagine the traffic jams!

    • They also collect near Bond Street station near Oxford Circus. Always same guys.
    • Paul's on lordship lane is a good place for garden plants.  He is based near the old harvester on the opposite side of the road he offers good advice on which plants will grow in different positions etc.  
    • I've read this thread and made notes! So many useful tips! Would anyone have a recommendation for  a place that sells good quality topsoil that would also be able to drop from a tipper? 10 cubic meters minimum. Thanks in advance and any further advice on garden centres with good selection of shrubs/climbers would be welcome, I plan to visit them all. Garden is fully dug up with drainage just put in. 
    • I reccomend Crab Salad-I used to have my hair cut by the owner when he was at Blue tit in Peckham...I moved with him to Cs when he opened it. I've had other stylists there when he was'nt available on the date I could make and they're all excellent. Its a nice vibe too-just very relaxed not too 'hairdressery' (If you know what I mean) and I've reccomended it to neighbours and colleages who've all been very happy. Its not the cheapest but nor is it super pricey and they use good products too.
