I remember the Uplands in The 70's. Yes, owned by Johnny Minns, (most decorated Britsh Soldier in WWII) who didn't give a hoot about anything and carried a sword stick at all times. The DJ at that time was his nephew, Bobby. Manager was Chris Somethingorother, buggered off to Australia years ago. There was another John FRYARS but he came along a little later, I think. Did Jimmy Smith marry one of the Ryan sisters? Jackie maybe?

Chris Smith was his name . Long hair - pally with Pete Bashford ( as was I at the time). I worked in there from 1973-1976 before going off to university. ( actually lived upstairs in the pub). Used to work behind the bar and also did the disco 2 times a week ( rock and roll and 60's night). Remember the Sullivans and Terry Naylor .Also very fond memories of an excellent and honest bar staff to work with - eg Dave Bulloch, Dave West, Micky Brooks, Barbara Nicholson etc.Good times and fond memories.

Hi, I'm Chris Smith and I used to be the manager of The Uplands circa '73-'76.

I did go to Australia and have recently returned and now living in Windsor. The hair in long... gone! But I'm still standing and would love to hear from anyone who was around at that time. Perhaps even meet up in the Actress for a beer.

Hi Jockyboy, I hope that you are well.

Not sure that I ever had long hair but it was a thrill to find your message. I was looking for Pete Bashford, it sounds like he's not in a good place but would still like to get in touch. I'm also keen to catch up with anyone from that era, one of my favourite times

I was listening to Huey on radio 6 and he played a track from Abandoned Luncheonette. One of my all time favourites and if memory serves me well it was you that introduced me to the album. I also remember you telling me that if I didn't go to Aus I would regret it. Can't know for sure if that would have been true but I've done it, I'm back, and I have no regrets.

I would like to catch up if you're interested

Sorry but I've only been here nearly twenty years. After your time. I knew the Uplands, though :)

      Peckham Manor School

      By Desmond Lewis · Posted

      Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Jasonlondon · Posted

      Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Monkey · Posted

      Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
