I'm not sure, Sue... is Scott desperately scratching around for names? or did I miss his publican sarcastic wit?

The Actress is a terrible name for a pub.


Call it The Big Bad Wolf.

So if bedrooms are going to be dressing rooms, does that mean that the...erm...toilets will have 'novel' names too?

Like those ones where you have to stop and think before you enter.......in case you get it wrong* :o


eg. Gangsters/Molls, Drakes/Damsels, Helgas/whatever the male equivalent etc


Oh and good luck with it, can't be easy to rename somewhere, will def pop along there to check it out. The pub that is, not the toilets ;)



*yes, I am that dense at times.

I propose the new name should be 'The Green Man'. A favourite name of mine, also it represents inclusivity, with a common cause for good across Christian,Pagan and other faiths.


The Green Man also represents new growth and re-birth, of regeneration. It symbolises strength and security. All-in-all, a great name for a pub!

    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
    • Blame Margaret Thatcher - she started the privatization of public utilities.
