I think Lennox's mum still lives in the mock Georgian houses at Crook Log. I don't remember Lennox working in the chippy in Pickford Lane though and I moved in before it was a chippy. I always used to get my fish and chips from Batchelors green grocers next to the post office. They used to fry on a Friday and Saturday.
Malcolm Allison used to live in Nursery Road near where the Russian spy woman lived. I think Ecclestone lived there too.
Roger Moore lived in Danson Road with Dorothy Squires. I think Steve Davies bought the house at one time but didn't live there. It's the blue on on the left as you drive down to the A2.
I think i may be right in thinking. Jimmy Bullard's dad is the landlord of the One Bell in Crayford.
He may even still have a home in Bexleyheath and a member of a Bexleyheath fishing club. IF anyone Knows Of This to be true. then maybe as an idea What about an Evening where he is a speaker.
I know he is at the other end of the country But Its an Idea that could work.
Unless There is Someone else to get for AN EVENING WITH.....?
Yeah Jimmy Bullard Snr is landlord at the One Bell since last year i think when they redecorated the place. I live 2 mins from it but im not sure jimmy junior has been there since it has reopened
