6000 union-supressing McJobs, most of which are minimum wage. All hail McDonalds. The anti-capitalist brigade who condone violence ironically set themselves back as their point becomes overshadowed. Better to just not eat there if you have a problem with their setup. If you recruit enough people to share the same view then you'll hit them financially - smashing up one store does nothing.

Im sure the owners of > the African restaurant could think of one. I'm close to printing this thread out and framing it. Forgive me if I'm wrong but on Peckham High Street I can think of shops with African, Carribean, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, British and Chinese proprietors, and I'm sure I've missed a good few more off. Calling it an 'African Street' serves only to highlight your own ignorance.

You realise that statement is like going into East Dulwich Deli as an example of a typical English deli and concluding that English people 'dont eat much fresh produce, just lots of expensive things in jars' don't you?

Upstairs at EDT seems to be trying to be upmarket though, can't see them going for an indie night. I might be wrong though.

The Castle at the top of Crystal Palace Road has an upstairs function room you can hire out i noticed yesterday, I'd give them a proper look.

On the contrary, The Irish Shop is mostly loaded up with tat, I'd be surprised if they were still there this time next year - the Polish shop is full of things you can actually use to cook with.

Are there any working men's clubs in ED? They're often receptive to suggestions as their attendances have slumped (look at Bethnal Grn WMC) - often have perfectly passable function rooms to use for raves...

Don't know what they've done to it now > though, lost track of all the changes to that pub. Last time I was in it had been turned into a wannabe gastropub dining room. They were doing roasts on a Sunday, but the vegetatian option was a pasta bake. Fail. I hear rumours of a 'big screen' having been put in there for version 6.4 of whatever-they're-calling-it-now. I don't think ED really has anywhere that great for an indie night to work, personally I'd look to the venues of New Cross, Brixton or Camberwell if you're wanting somewhere with the full setup already in place. Like there are venues with decks, like Liquorish, but I don't see them going for indie, it's more house and such in there.

Page 2 or whatever they're calling it across the Rye is probably fairly desperate for custom at the moment, what with everyone unsure if it's still a rubbish tapas bar / souless gastropub. They used to do the odd 'club' event in there a few years ago which were always busy, if not my cup of tea. Right now they have some guy blasting bad house records out the back to an empty room on Saturdays. I'm sure a more interesting-sounding proposition would probably make their ears prick up - and they'd probably get on board with promoting it as the place is still dead as ever.

It's not East Dulwich in the slightest but The Montague down by New Cross has stage and decks and is an utterly ace venue - it would be a real shame if they closed so always encourage someone thinking of starting something up in the area to bear them in mind...

How could they become the biggest fast food restaurant in the world if their food wasn't the best in the world? I don't see outlets of Green and Blue in China. honestly.

Back on topic, the 24-hour booze store on Bellenden is also particularly useful. : )

There's a good little gallery space with plenty of free booze events thorughout the year as well ; )

That healthfood shop was rubbish, hardly a loss - the booze shop is 24-hour and there's 2 pool tables in the pubs on opposite corners : )
