If it represented the east end..there would be no white folks on the show... The signs would be Bengali and the queen Vic would be a gastro vegan pub or converted into a 'community welfare hub'

nah the pub would be a russki bar ...the local shops would be either polski, or turkish rather than gujrati and british of the 1980s, a Few years back I went for an urban art tour in the east end and the speaker totally skipped over the fact that gujrati , east african indians traded in the wholesalers on petticoat lane during the 60s and 1970s just jumped straight from Hugenots to bengalis ...sorry but you cannot erase Indian contributions to the East End too .

I remember watching the reruns back in the early 90s. The funny thing is that the bully ended up playing Mark in Eastenders.

not sure 'bout Dally but it's in my birth neighbourhood , I would have been a cockney as I was within the sound of Bow Bells but I'm not fussed I talk 'posh' for  an eastender because I don't swallow my Ts ...these days southall and essex folks sound more cockney than east ender folk IRL.
