I complimented her. I told her that she was more beautiful at the checkout than she'd looked in a magazine photo I'd seen the same week. She seemed pleased and talked to me. I was made up. I'd say from what she had in her trolley and the car she was driving that she has a better paid job than me!

A few years ago, the missus passed Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and another guy (American accent, seemed vaguely familiar but she couldn't think who he was) on Northcross Rd. From the way they were looking around at things, we figured they may have been scouting the area. And of course, Terry Jones used to live in Camberwell.
Yesterday Mrs B and I were walking down LL. This girl walked past and I was convinced she was someone off telly or something as her face looked so familiar. Anyway I pondered over it as we continued our walk and it struck me, she was in fact one of the girls who tends bar in the Magdala. So from now on I shall consider all the people who tend bar in ED as local celebrities.

I think there should be a Celebrity ED ladder ranked by kudos.


Top Tier - International Stars of Film and/or Music

Members would include Michael Gambon, Terry Gilliam


Second Tier - Credible UK TV Actors/Pop Stars

Timothy Spall


Third Tier - Not so credible TV Actors/Pop Stars/Comedians

Nesbitt, Eclair


Fourth Tier - Soap Stars/ TV Journalists

Her from Eastenders/Bad Girls, Her from Corrie, Anyone who has appeared in Heartbeat/The Bill, Jeremy Bowen

OK, how about Fantasy East Dulwich Celebrities? You get points for each celebrity you spot, we would just need to firm up the categories and point values. The lesser-spotted Gambon would be quite rare so would be worth a lot more than your common or garden Nesbitt.

I'm new to this forum and only discovered it through searching this topic. I saw Erin O'Connor last Saturday lunchtime in The Cambria pub near Loughborough Junction and was trying to confirm that it was her and not sby who looks like her. Having seen your posts, I'm now certain it was her.

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
