Speaking of television viewing all the folks on Masterchef

[Fash]

are a little off, A bit strange looking.

[Jake]

A chap from my school is on it from the year above.

"Jacob", obviously.

[Fash]

Is he the one with spongy hair? If I had not met Monty I would thought he looked like him.

[Burney]

I know what you mean. There's a bloke from a middle eastern background whose hairline starts just above his nose.

Mind you, I still don't know how this useless tosser got through. :rolleyes:

Where did you go again, was it QK or something?

That's the fella. He looks like a werewolf, whereas Monty looks like this

are a little off, A bit strange looking.

They're all leaving an indelible blank on my mind.

To think, back in the day we had Tomasina with her cheeky gap-toothed grin, we had little Ping with the whole Asian thing going on, we had that irritating beardy New Zealander whose restaurant failed... now, nothing of interest at all :(

[The Jorge]

A friend of mine set up some dating site profiles using the mugshots of well known serial killers. Sutcliffe came out on top, which I imagine was a hammer blow to some of the competition.

[Jake]

Lol, don't insult me. I don't look like an extra from N-Dubz.

UCS, Hampstead. Obviously.

[Jake]

Agreed. I sporadically watch at best now.

Last years winner was so non-descript that his name was Simon Wood.

I know 2 other Simon Wood's.

Very harsh, imo

Hah, that poncey, even for Hampstead. I was knocking off a girl in the sixth form when I was at school but the trudge over the heath began to wear on me.

I very rarely like the ones who actually win, though. The blokes seem almost invariably to be ****s and some of the women aren't much better.

I liked Ping.

26

I also liked this one, who seems to have disappeared without trace.

27

[Jake]

What, from QK? Ew.

[Sir C]

Ping was lovely indeed, if no Helen.

That Cockernee one was a bit... common.

natter-lee innit

He was quite a handsome chap, actually. The Phwoar-kshire Ripper, you might say.

[Sir C]

Wasn't she from Bromley-By-Bow? I hate Bromley-By-Bow. It's where the bus top my school used to end up.

[Sir C]

Has your pusseh reappeared?

[The Jorge]

Nice, though I'm cross nobody picked up on the "hammer blow" line.

[Burney]

Has your pusseh reappeared?

He has. He's much bolder now and scampering around the place very cutely.

[Burney]

I got it, j.

[The Jorge]

I got it, j.

Well that's even worserer

[Ash]

I have had breakfast in Bromley-by-Bow.

Where did your bus cross the river? On the Woolwich ferry? Unless it was a single-decker bus, or there is also a Bromley-by Bow SOTR? After all, both East and South have places called Plaistow near places called Bromley. Funny, that.

It was a single decker. Actually it was the bus that took me to the bus stop whence I caught the bus to school. It was a 108B.

How bizarre! I got it from the Rochester Way at Kidbrooke, then got off at Shooter's Hill Road, whence it headed off through the pipe. Then I got a 192 from Shooter's Hill Road to Belmont Hill, Lewisham.

Here's the route map for the 192, but look at the top left corner, by the arrow pointing towards the Blackwall Tunnel, it says 108B!

And your 192 went to Plumstead! You could have stayed on it and visited my nan for a cup of tea and slice of Angel Cake!

[Sir C]

She wouldn't have had cake when I was going to school. The rationing, you see.

Not bad :nod:

[The Jorge]

Thank you, I do try

When my nan moved from Islington to Lewisham in the 30s it was get out into the fresh air of Kent.

THIS Lewisham in the 1930s?

[Ash]

THIS Lewisham in the 1930s?

Relative to to the industry in and around The Cally and Kings Cross, you understand. The site hosting that fine 1939 photograph describes it thus: "By this time Lewisham was a respectable and mature suburb and this view is evidence of the High Street's commercial success."

I think my nan moved there quite a bit earlier in the decade, if not at the end of the 20's. Given how London grew in the inter-war period, with the dash to the new suburbs, 10 years or so might have made a difference.

[The Jorge]

Brasses, spivs and tanneries?

[Ash]

Brasses, spivs and tanneries?

Belle Isle and Battle Bridge were industrial areas.
