See the top of this page for the C and C own thread and comments on how they really only want certain kinds of people booking their venue.

Kirsty Allsop isn't really news- she and Phil Spencer have been coming here for a while at regular intervals.

Forest Hill has always been an interesting and vibrant community with a range of facilities and hard working people who work to keep it that way. It doesnt need c and c to make it so nor does it need celebrity to affirm itself although creative and hard working people like Tim Spall are always a pleasure to run into. People talk about feeling intimidated as they are new however for those of us who have been here a while it is plain insulting as well as ignorant to have people telling you to go somewhere else if you don't like what's happening and also to suggest that 'better' and more interesting people have arrived now so we have 'progress' . Very thankfully, your Forest Hill isn't mine and never will be.
