Probably the last rotten borough in existance, I could tll some stories about vested interests there....

sending picaninnies up chimneys is a dreadful idea, how would you find them up there?






(that was meant in a humorous manner but I bet it gets someone uptight]

Boris is flaky
And so is Red Ken
In short a throughly undesirable pair all together.
Ken is ruining London and Boris will finish the job?

I remember a famous quote of Ken from years back, about the only thing hes ever said I agree with.

"If voting changed ...

Harare????
ah yes Mugabe, another Marxist liberator,and friend of the people.

Thank you Oberon for that additional info

I thought it was Sydenham, not bloody Hampsted

I knew Red Ken when he was causing no end of trouble at Brixton town hall,
Now he is a pillock, a complete and utter tosser who has never done a days work in his life.
About the only thing he has ever done I agree with is banning the giving out of goldfish as fairground prizes.

Good for Boris I ...

I`m not negative, I`m just wary,
And as such I`m used to being sneered at by the "worldly wise" with their snappy little homilies.
Nothing wrong with living in Peckermans Wood, I played in those woods before it was built.
A nice spot to be with still, I imagine, unless all the trees have grown ...

From what I remember the trustees of the Dulwich college ...

Peckermans Wood?

The Porcupine field and Pub were about were the Lennard road frontage of the Alex rec is now.
The Hardings lane toll gate was on or about the site of that row of 3 1950s houses built where a bomb fell.
The stick of bombs that left this gap also hit Parish lane Edward road,where the garages are ...

You are about 50 years too late Mary.
I knew that whole area off Kirkdale back then, from Sydenham hill down From the top of Panmure road you could see wheat fields.
The bird life was amazing, swallows and house martins, owls all sorts hedgehogs everywhere, grass snakes in the gardens.
Its fallen ...

Formerly known as Dacres road school?
spent 5 miserable years of my life there,& hated it

When I last passed by it the huge sign outside said it was "specialising in the Performing Arts" :roll:

If you can't teach them to read and write,at least you can teach them to dance and play the drums.
