In that case then I'm totally stumped, I'd never guess in a million years.

I've not really made it very clear, have I?
I think it went wrong when you introduced the paradox of poncy, part of Peckham.
Unless you mean the estate agent coind Bellenden Village

Sitting on the bok of the day
I once worked with an architect who looked at renovating the Jones and Higgins department store. He said it was unbelievable - really opulent and ornate, like Harrods:

Thats how I remember it. My Mum is originally from Clapton and said that a lot of her family would drive over from that part of the world to go shopping down 'the lane'.
In fact that whole part of SE London used to have a high reputation for shopping. East Street Market would even have coach partys coming along on Sundays bringing people to shop there. It was PACKED. And I do mean like sardines. The Walworth Road also had some classy clothes and shoe shops as well. And if you had to have a special cake then you had to get it from Ayres in Nunhead lane (its still there).
The OKR was always a shit hole but even then there was a tailors (I think it might still be there) just along from the Thomas A'Beckett that was the place to get yourself a made to measure suit. for all the special occassions. My Dad and Uncles all got their wedding suits there.

It's not that cheap anymore and I don't reckon you'd get away with smoking anything in there.

UFOs over Peckham Bruv
not-bono-ever
meh
one thing that ive noticed of late is someone who is feeding cats in the corner of the big old car park behind the rye lane/ next to the station - there are about 20 skanky cats milling around and piles of stinkng cat food & hordes of flies around the place. IM sure obsessive cat lovers will track me down and kill me for daring to critisise this, but its pretty foul if you have to walk through the car park & cant be good for the plethora of food shops that back onto this midden

Such a shame if it does shut down, another old school London boozer bites the dust.
Will no doubt be replaced by another Nigerian barber shop to add to the hundreds already in Peckham

Riding a bike thru Peckham today was a nightmare, too many Sunday drivers One of them nearly had me,the twat refused to recognise I had right of way and charged at me blaring his horn.
I was on my way to the outdoor gym in Dulwich Park - anyone else been? Much more fun than a sweaty indoor gym and with the bonus of being free.

I've not seen the one in Dulwich Park, but Peckham Rye Park has a few bits of outdoor gym equipment. They look like they've been made by Fisher Price.

Serious accident on Peckham High Street this morning, whole road shut meaning a walk to Camberwell to catch a bus. According to the radio a car hit a building.

That's it. I noticed the smell of gas. A not very helpful policeman didn't want to direct pedestrians.
