Brockwell Park has outdoor volleyball everyday if you want to join the Colombians who play there. You'll have to go to clapham common to find ultimate players, but there's also some indoors at Brixton rec. some people play in Brockwell park by the lido on Wednesdays.

Thanks! Just seems a bit quick given that there's still property guardians living in it and how slow DE can be.

Has all the planning consent been secured then? Who is the new manager?

Perhaps Fox should have conducted a risk assessment?

But here it's all a bit menacing now. I'm very glad the child's ok too - but as a regular to that top end corner; I'd quibble that it's a den of vice! It's much tidied up when compared to the days when Casey ran it - there's a clamp down on sneaky cans / and the smoking rule (ie. stand by the staff office) is applied even when the place is empty. It used to be the naked corner - I'm not sure that would be allowed nowadays. The downside with it being run by fusion, is that it's run by fusion - the gym & spa are closed again today. The pool will close at 5.45 as they're showing a film tonight. Hottest days of the year - and it won't be dark enough to screen a film until 9.30 ish.

Wow.

Still nothing attached. Toffee - You are aware of course that the petition was set up by a Brexit Campaigner before the referendum?

There's a few UK Huf Haus: http://www.huf-haus.com/en.html

hi Lynne did Alan Partridge asked you to post this? http://www.c4caravans.com/blog/caravan-parking-restrictions-can-i-park-my-caravan-on-the-road.php

Have you ever been to Manchester or Brighton Lou?

Um, Minet does lots of other 'non library' things though. Like being the archive for bits of Lambeth.

is on twitter as ClaphamTranny I seem to remember.

Cupid's stunt

I've some spare (12 inch record envelopes), if you want me to post it to you?!

It stopped as the floods closed the pub. There's one new other music venue on Station Parade that's proving successful, slightly smaller than the HM and was starting from scratch with no history of putting live music on.

Plans appear to include nothing of its history! https://www.facebook.com/FullersBrewery/posts/931160253597804?fref=nf "We are going to be putting in a new kitchen, developing a fantastic beer garden and including a children?s play area for the many local families." I can only guess that the beer garden will be in the space where the back room currently is, and then to the right?

The pre-flood landlord had just successfully started music nights again - filling it more than I'd seen for a decade. Then the floods happened.

There's some at Brockwell Lido.

Worth a read. > > Louisa. It doesn't really say anything which supports your argument though does it? It describes a research project that's taking place. Perhaps you've cherry picked the headline; which relates to a bit of text in the article: "Some participants suggested feeling excluded from ?posh? shellfish such as oysters and lobster, while others admitted that they knew very little about how shellfish were produced and harvested". The headline is made by a sub editor, not the researcher. It's an on going research project - and as someone who is clearly interested in this topic, you can keep track of it here: http://www.ecehh.org/research-projects/from-sea-to-saucepan/

haha, nope!

Sorry, you're being a bit too oblique for me to understand seabag! I do in fact work at a desk for 'someone' but that someone is nothing to do with DE / Fullers / the half moon / anything to do with the hospitality industry. Apologies if you thought I was some sort of schuck for someone with a vested interest. I wasn't seeking a row - just perhaps carrying over some annoyance from another local forum, where people who didn't know the area of the background were deciding what would be right and wrong for the pub and that bit of HH.

That didn't matter. He was making money off the bar / food, and then experimenting as to whether there was a market for the back room - it was a time when HH was a little quieter than it is now.

The Half Moon doesn't have a new owner - it's got a new lease (a pub chain). Dulwich Estates remain the owner. The previous landlord had opened up the back room again and had it full on a monthly basis. With completely different programming to the Windmill / Hoot. The Dulwich Estate wanted to refurb the upper floors into flats. Southwark turned down their request for planning permission to do this.

Why? They've worked well in Lambeth already. I've not seen one with graffiti; I have seen one damaged when a car drove into it. The main concern is that the demand in Lambeth has outstripped supply. The key issue hasn't been an issue at all - you pay a deposit for the key.
