0801 the morning after 22+ people are murdered in Manchester and the Crown and Greyhound tweets: "It's official! We'll be waking up with a brand new pub June 19th! So put it in your diary & let the countdown begin!"


Great to know that some combination of that pub's management/ Mitchells and Butler have such humanity.

Im sure that everyone waking up is shocked and saddened by the news from Manchester. Lets not be so quick to brand anyone as lacking in compassion. Some people may not have seen the news, some people may react by 'getting on with things', and not being 'intimidated'.....


in anycase, perhaps lets just keep this thread to news about the pub I think.....I for one, am cautiously optimistic about it being open again in a month...

The news from Manchester is awful, and prayers go out to everyone involved. But terrorism happens on a daily basis around the world, often never reported in the media. Do we stop going about our business every single time something awful happens? Maybe timing wasn't great, but let's not jump to conclusions. I'm sure it was not intended to be offensive.

An Estate Agent in Manchester took ALL the house pictures out of their window

and replaced them with I love Manchester posters as a sign of respect.


M&B announce the opening of their new pub.


Says it all.


I'm with bgw on this.

It's possible to schedule tweets to go out automatically at some point in the future, so maybe that was done - personally I was working late last night, slept in and so didn't hear the news from Manchester until 8.30AM, quite possibly the same for the tweeter. Nothing to see here, I think.

bgw if you're that offended why don't you contact the author of the tweet ?

he/she may be obliged to promote the opening as of today / may not have checked the news bulletins / may have thought it's not their place to comment on the atrocity using the channel they've (presumably) opened specifically for the pub.

Talk about looking for offence. You fools looking to attack people just for doing their job, because it's not on the terms you've just invented (for other people to oblige to !).

I notice you have no words for the perpetrator, but you do for some unrelated person.

Did you preface YOUR first business/work comms today with a homage to the dead and injured, a minutes silence, by making a donation to charity ? What did YOU do if you're so squeaky clean ?!

Come off it, you plonker. Even you don't actually believe this twaddle.

Used this pub back in the 70's about 1/2 dozen times when I lived in Peckham.


Been once or twice in the 37 years I have lived in East Dulwich.

Last time in 2008 when I had visitors.


Haven't missed it over last couple of years.


Don't drink during the day. Don't travel far at night.

Unlikely to start using it now. Even if they were giving the beer away.

Well I'll be going in to see what's changed. I am enjoying my longer walks after doctors orders. It's the perfect summer time spot, let's just hope it's not been ruined with a unsympathetic refurb. I look forward to seeing some of you there!

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
