Don't worry as long as you are all home in the warm you will be ok. Debs.

Those Victorian cemetery's had some wonderful architecture, in the memorials......modern ones seem SOOOO plain.. we seem to have Hijacked Julie's thread, hope she doesn't mind..........

It was the early 80's when I went there Bob. I was staying with my brother in Brixton. What sticks in my mind - apart from the wonderful wildlife, (I saw evidence of badgers) was the variety of 'headstones' and memorials. One in particular was a wooden cross with a stick- on man ('gents' toilet sign) with more stick- on letters underneath giving the birthand death dates and 'DAD'. There was something wonderful (and rather poignant)about this obviously home-made memorial. Especially as we know it wouldn't be allowed in most burial grounds. maggie

When we were there,between 1963-1975 the cemetery was a wildlife haven.......(although was closed to new burials unless you already had a plot,) we used to walk through on Sunday afters, after dinner with the kids and the dog.........Amazing.... None of my lott were buried there though..........LOL I believe that the BBC? did a kind of play centred on the Nunhead Cemetery,also think the Stonemason's house played a part in it...

Seeing the police helicopter,hearing the sirens etc,is a commonplace thing in my area,and now just don`t take any notice. Baz

Brilliant Cemetery at Nunhead Bob! maggie

Julie, you is right, in modern speak, the old progs wouldnt ring true............

prgrames are not as funny as that now, too much political correctness

wot a great programme that was...all the threads we do about our favourite sitcom,and that one is usually forgotten....but it really is one of the best ever. bryan.

Right ho, do you have a pint pot? please milky with one large sugar? thanks.......Er, You wouldnt have a couple of slices of toast?

kettles always on here bob, just made a brew

Gotcha!..........fort i was orf on a bender there..........LOL Cos prior to emigrating north we lived in Nunhead, just by Peckham Rye, in fact when they were shooting " On the Buses" some of the scenes were shot in Nunhead bus garage.....

yes,sorry bob,my bum is currently in south london,but my heart is always in my beloved cilfrew...and ime going home for good this year...in fact maybe i can arrange to stop off at julie anne's,as i cross over the severn bridge...get the kettle on julie!! bryan.

Bryan,put a senile old fart in his place, but isnt' Cilfrew in Wales? Glamorgan........ And Peckham is in London or are you at present, in London?

birthday boy is laying on settee waiting to go on here , maybe hes warned the coppers im putting banners up

Julie Ann, Hope its not my freinds just north of Tintern! Viv

thats a good point bob,peckham is'nt far from here,so maybe they have more info,from the guys arrested this morning. bryan.

Nothing to do with the Damilola Taylor, arrests?,if you are in wales, must be a different helicopter.(or is it cos birthday boy is on the loose?)

just over severn bridge in wales

thats really strange,cos weve had exactly the same here in south london,helicopter going around for at leasr thirty minutes,and then loads of police cars,up and down outside. bryan.
