@patcondell I lived at the Sydenham-end of Catford for 35 yrs. A natural, decent working class community.
By the time I left 5 years ago, there had been a stabbing on Burford Rd, and another on Datchet Rd.
When my pal was assailed by a knife-wielding thug in Sydenham, I decided to leave.
@SartorialThug Open from about 6 AM. My brother and I would do a circuit of Bermondsey Market, and be in the Hand and Marigold by 08:00. Drinking Guinness and eating buttered toast. Blooming marvellous.
