Bloke in his 50s ~ lives in ED ~ mostly self-taught acoustic guitarist (I've had a few lessons too) ~ fairly competent ~ looking for people to jam with ~ happy to host, travel or muddle through. If interested please DM me. Keith

Andy fitted our new kitchen tiled floor recently and did an amazing job. During this time we had an urgent repair needed with our shower drainage, and we called him in to ask for his opinion. He sorted it for us really quickly and efficiently. Andy puts extra time and effort when completing jobs - he is a real find and we will definitely use him again. We can recommend him!

I'd like to add to the recommendations here for Andy mb.07564 194363. Really happy with the very high standard of work he recently completed (kitchen floor tiling). Helpful, reliable, fair priced and a thoroughly decent bloke too!

I personally would prefer 25 degrees celsius but am willing to compromise. Can they not use the urinals though as accidents can sometimes occur by those wearing regulation footwear when standing next to these chaps; and can they make sure their grubby London toenails aren't anywhere near to be seen when I am enjoying a sub-standard pub lunch with my girlfriend. It's most off-putting to see this when you're tucking into a sticky toffee pudding created by the latest head chef who will probably be sacked next week and then moan that he/she was treated unfairly. I think I've said all I can on the matter and don't believe there was any sign of sarcasm in my comment, to boot. I am planning my next comment to be made on this forum to be considered 'offensive' by the administrator. As a passionate believer in free speech, I believe it's the right for one not only to offend, but also, and just as importantly, to be offended. Leave that one for another day ED people.

I made some positive comments regarding The Cherry Tree at the start of this particular thread and was totally unaware of the negative history of the pub (oh, and the constant revolving doors for chefs at this establishment ~ this happens all the time in many public inns especially after the smoking ban made them a far harder proposition to create business). TCT is not in a position to compete with the likes of the other themed, 'Is it a gastro-pub, is it restaurant, is it a wine bar, does it specialise in craft beers', in my opinion as it does not have - geographically - the kudos of the Lordship Lane trend set and men in flip-flops' brigade.

It caters for locals (heaven forbid), the Sky Sport regulars, the only pub with a large gay contingent, and okay, the food wasn't brilliant. If any contributors lived in SE22 10 years or so and remembered the old spit-and-sawdust pubs since redeveloped. It's not that bad at all and certainly not stuck up.

AS for edcam's comment to my post:

"The5thMan is definitely in the Cherry Tree's target demographic."

What the bloody hell does that mean? I'm intrigued?! My glass is half full. Thank you.

QED edcam. Ha.

Gary is trying to make a real go of the Cherry Tree. Last time I went there with my partner, the food was great (took a bit of time), the entertainment was superb. I agree that these threads are depressing which is why I rarely comment. I look forward to sarcastic, witless comments from middle-class knobs who don't like Iceland in Lordship Lane and wear flip-flops at the first sign of summer.

Goodness me. As a South East London man and approaching 50 years old; reading this shit makes me laugh and cry. It's a piss in the street, get over it. Lived in SE22 before anyone knew what the word 'forum' meant. Iceland or Waitrose anyone in Lordship Lane? Don't give a f**k. Iceland for me actually? better quality vegetables and fruit.

I'll be happy to take a look at it Leigh. Just send a .jpeg. .pdf to my email address. [email protected]

Yep, such a shame. Friendly faces, excellent gardening knowledge and a main-stay in East Dulwich for the six years or so that I've lived here. Always remember being gullibly introduced to the 'water otter' in a cage on my first visit.
