scott Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Undecided, except for the fact it won't remain as The Uplands.. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10052-the-uplands-to-becomelounged/page/6/#findComment-307640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CocoC Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Or Brian. I'd definitely drink in a pub called Brian. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10052-the-uplands-to-becomelounged/page/6/#findComment-307653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 scott Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Undecided, except for the fact it won't remain as> The Uplands..Can I ask why? Just interested if it's some legal rebranding reason, or just because you don't like it.Personally, I think if you name it something cool, then great. If however, it was a choice of Uplands, or Villager, I'd go with Uplands every single time!

Jeremy Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think it's just to do with making a fresh start... a clean break. Letting everyone know that the place has changed, and encouraging people who may not have been customers previously.

Keef Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Fair enough, and good luck to them.The Villager is still fecking awful though! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10052-the-uplands-to-becomelounged/page/6/#findComment-307737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 The Villager specifically though smacks of pretence. It?s almost estate agent talk. I would go for Brian. You can?t go wrong with Brian. As long as my Labrador, The Prince of Wales, is allowed in.

katie1997 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Moving with the times and all that....why not The Forum (are English pubs named after popular local things that reflect the history/community?) :)-DOr ...as others said, name it after the fabulous Wodehouse?Or ...the Blyton (as long as its child-friendly and serves lashings of ginger ale)...Very best of luck, whatever it turns out to be. Its nearby so I am sure I will pop along to try it out.

espresso Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The current license of The Uplands does NOT allow it to open to midnight Sun-Thurs and 1am Fri & Sat; permitted hours are until 11.30 pm Sun- Thurs and to 12pm Fri and Sat. Bit surprising you don't know that. As for complaints, who is going to complain on Lordship Lane, which is busy with traffic, people and bars/restaurants? CP Road, however, is a residential street, so noise stands out more and carries much further.

Add the 20 minutes drinking up time and 10 minutes to get out that makes midnight. Or am I wrong?What about "Louisa's" or "The Snorky" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10052-the-uplands-to-becomelounged/page/6/#findComment-308853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsebox Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I quite like 'The Troll's Arms' or 'The London Suburbs' (abbreviated to TLS, in keeping with the area).

jollybaby Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Noooo you can't call it the Villager. There was a dodgy pub in my hometown called the Village - it was the local underage hangout - unless you're going for that demographic of course!

SteveT Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Moes.That's what this pretentious area needs, a swill hole where you can fall asleep on the upholstered pew and no one moves you on.Squares of newspaper hanging on a loop of hairy string in the loo....er apologies, bog.A big smelly old dog curled up dozing under the seat.A hooped barrell with a wooden tap, perched behind the bar full of Marstons pedigree, and when it's poured into the pint glass resembling the colour of healthy looking urine.They don't make 'em like that anymore, the pub culture is a receding industry, yet it is what many euro-visitors dropped in for as they have nothing like it and sooner or later nor will we.

Michael Palaeologus Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Could be "Scott's Off North Cross Road" - slightly better address than CP Road :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10052-the-uplands-to-becomelounged/page/6/#findComment-309806 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 So, somebody else suggested it, on this very forum. How about The Uplands becomes The Actress ? For those who missed the earlier posts, there would then be The Bishop & The Actress....
