Jason Statham and Jamie Foreman in the Dog (Crown & Greyhound) in Dulwich Village and Tracy Barlow from corrie orrie looking lovley on Northcross Road. Also Timothy Spall looking through the window of the Drum and Daniel "I gotta get through this" Beddingfield in the Sea Cow

Ednerd's post in the main room has just reminded me that I once saw an extremely drunk Daniel Bedingfield staggering down LL with a couple of embarrassed mates in tow, singing naf "R&B" into a brown bottle in a proper 'Craaaaig Daaavid' stylee.


I couldn't stop chuckling for days.

Dear Mr Chartwell and Clare,


If you ask me that boy needs more exercise. He is looking rather portly and should really eat more fruit and try to avoid pastry. He does look smug, but that will change.


Some of the residents of Alleyn Road have had enough of his cavalier attitude to the maintenace of his guttering, and a letter should be winging its way to him from the Dulwich Estates imminently. He can dance around what way he likes on Top of the Pops, but here in SE21 we don't piddle in our gardens or allow our homes to fall into disrepair.

Easy one this and in NO particular order.


Veronica from Shameless - always Sunday morning in Saisburys

Jennie Eclair (of course - ECO House and HUGE Petrl driven motor!)

Nesbitt - all the time

Kate Ford - many years ago - not seen her now for ages

Some bird from the office whose name escaopes me

Steve Frost obviously


(The usual ex-bill, bad girls etc.)


By my piece de resistance is David Schwimmer some 12 months ago wandering up LL!

Rob da Bank (Radio 1 DJ and bloke who runs Bestival festival on the Isle of Wight). Bumped into Mr, Mrs and baby Bank on Grove Vale last autumn (after we'd been to Bestival) and had a brief chat. Reckon they must be the reason why the Sea Cow has a presence at Bestival (the best food on the site).


Louisiana

new here but not in ED - around since 1986.

DM, I used to live next door to Gary Barlow. Well, let me qualify that. If you looked out of our front bedroom window with binoculars, across the fields, you could just see the top of his stately pile. It's a gated mansion close to Delamere forest in the heart of Cheshire. So there's no particular reason why Gary would be wandering up Lordship Lane...on the other hand, I made it here, so maybe he'll be drawn here too.
No never saw Gary in the flesh, though I did see his mum and dad once - they lived in the gatehouse (he bought if for them, apparently), and were unloading shopping from the boot as I drove past. They just looked like your typical retired couple and I guess that's how Gary will end up one day. Or maybe that's how he looks now - they can do incredible things with make-up and a TV camera.

    • Thank you for clarifying, James. So why would anybody want to take this on as a franchise if it is staying in this building? If it is now to be a sub office, does that mean that much of  the space could be used as a different kind of business altogether, with just part of it being used as a sub Post Office? Because if it is all to remain solely for Post Office business, (albeit as a sub Post Office it won't be providing all the services which it currently does) I can't see who would want to take it over? If it isn't profitable as a Crown office, how could it be  profitable running just as a sub office, even if staff are being paid less and it's opening for longer hours? Because presumably all the other overheads such as rent will remain the same?
    • Girobank was genuinely innovative, regarding the addressed customer base (significantly the previously unbanked) - but this would have been an ideally outsourced operation to an existing bank which already had the operational systems (and the regulatory experts) to manage a bank for someone else at marginal cost. The Post Office - when you consider the issues over the Horizon software - never originally designed by ICL/ Fujitsu for the application it ran - is a very good reason why the Post Office being involved in banking was long-term a bad idea.  To get back to the topic of this thread, the Horizon debacle is still not over (the software system is still in place) - most of the wrongly penalised sub-postmasters are still out of pocket - I'm not sure I would be leaping to take on the franchise being offered in Lordship Lane.
    • Otherwise in Bellenden Road are brilliant! They’ve made me stage dresses, restructured vintage finds and are working on remodelling my late brothers huntsman tweed suit for my modern husband! Not cheap and rents have meant they are moving premises at mo.
    • Penguin, I broadly agree, except that the Girobank was a genuinely innovative and successful operation. It’s rather ironic that after all these years we are now back to banking at the Post Office due to all the bank branch closures.  I agree that the roots of the problem go back further than 2012 (?), when the PO and RM were separated so RM could be sold. I’m willing to blame Peter Mandelson, Margaret Thatcher or even Keith Joseph. But none of them will be standing for the local council, hoping to make capital out of the possible closure of Lordship Lane PO, as if they are in no way responsible. The Lib Dems can’t be let off the hook that easily.
