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.
I was on my way there and had a minor car prang which put paid to me getting there in time. Lucky escape.Did you go to that infamous game at the den i think in 84?
I was living 7 miles from Peckham at the time
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.How much did you owe?. It was on the telly the other night.

You can’t beat it, straight out of Tudno place, and your in The Penlan Sawsh mun !Blackbird Leys is nowhere near as bad as some of our housing estates in Swansea. In fact, as an ex Penlan pupil, I would say it's positively posh!
