My experience is similar to *Bob*. Anyway, what's the conclusion of all this. Has The Castle been voted in as 'Best (and only proper) Boozer in East Dulwich'?

There is a Situationist app for the iphone.

Any news on Speedo? Would be interested to know what's to take it's place.

Please, stop it.

You're probably better off investing outside London right now imo

Maybe prescription is the wrong word, but some form of registration

I strongly believed that all drugs should be regulated. Not necessarily sold over the counter or in pubs and cafes, but regulated via a system of prescriptions, pharmacies etc. as in fact most are already. Why would you leave some of the most dangerous substances completely unregulated and in the control of gangsters. Seems counter productive to me.

A cannabis cafe on Lordship Lane would be great. Of course there was a farm above Thresher for some time, but not the same.

West Norwood, nunhead, lewisham perhaps?

The pandas look like they've come off worst with those black eyes.

The World Wrestling Federation don't need your money.

Those calls are infuriating. I HAVE NEVER HAD PAYMENT PROTECTION INSURANCE!!!!

Jaunty!

Any updates on this? Is it still standing?

The explosion in SUVs. Used to be that we laughed at Americans driving ridiculous, pseudo military vehicles.

salt and pepper won't work if he's already a seasoned criminal.

One small thing I will say in their defence, is when confronted by an adult following a fight in front of young children, they did (albeit after a few minutes and rather sullenly) move off. Twice now though I have seen them having proper fights (punches to the face etc.), accompanied by the kind of 'fck him up' type commentary, which is just totally inappropriate in a children's playground. As said above, if they were just hanging out there causing no trouble that would be one thing (alhtough I still don't think it's a particularly appropriate place to do so), but violence and agression are not. It doesn't help anyone (least of all the teenagers themselves) to make excuses for their bad behaviour.

On a couple of occasions there having been fights in the playground, during the day in front of toddlers and very young children. Boredom does not excuse it. It's an inappropriate place for young adults to hang out. Anyway, as quids says there is loads going on in London for free all of the time.

Hermit's Cave is a good boozer. Also (although I haven't been there for quite some time) I used to like the Bear.

I'm suspicious of the whole misty eyed 'proper boozer' schtick. As someone who does frequent 'old man pubs', I have to tell you that they're generally not 'full of characters', but more 'half empty with one or two pub bores generally best avoided' and twas always so. I used to drink in the CPT, in the back bar, because I could go there with a couple of mates and chat and get a drink easily and it was relatively cheap. But there was hardly ever more than half a dozen people in there. It had to change. The Great Exhibition is much more busy and has far more 'characters' now.

I am going to have to retire from this discussion. It is turning my hair grey.

But it makes so much more sense to split an eight digit number into two sets of four and to proceed it with the area code (or not, as really in most instances this should be implicit due to the fact that both parties know you're in London). Otta, please, you're killing me here.
