Who knew there was a fuel company distribution chief living on George Lane?

Ooh, I’ve just been watching The Apprentice and you’ll never guess what! Syed was on George Lane looking for the home of a fuel company distribution chief or sales guy or something. That’s just round the corner from me!

Blimey. Almost famous.

But Syed! How could you possibly think two hours from North London to Lewisham and back was remotely achievable at 4.30 in the afternoon? The Blackwall Tunnel’s just full up at that time. Your best bet to get back in time would have been a train from Hither Green to London Bridge and then the Northern Line to Angel, but you’d still have been pushing it. Dear oh dear.
