How much did you owe? 🤣. It was on the telly the other night. I didn’t recognise it. I was there in 1981-84. The North Peckham Estate and up towards the OKR was pretty daunting. At least I managed to avoid New Cross and Deptford, I suppose. Lots of bad areas around in those days…I used to run through Brixton and Streatham without thinking, even after the Brixton riots. People used to wave at me. Probably thought I was rock hard or insane. Or, in a t-shirt and shorts there’s nothing to mug me for.

Did you go to that infamous game at the den i think in 84?

I was living 7 miles from Peckham at the time

I was on my way there and had a minor car prang which put paid to me getting there in time. Lucky escape.

Lived by Queens Road Station so towards New Cross. Working as a technician in central London on £500 a month. The market was a godsend.
Lived in Tooting and Streatham too. Actually quite liked Peckham. Given me a long term like of curry goat!
