agreed jimmy, and I will miss the old incarnation


However?


I don't know sweetshopdan that well, just spoke briefly once or twice in the EDT and he has a lot of ambition and work in him. and I'm very interested in the future of this place


Dan - any gutrocking news?

You're on form tonight Jimmy Two Times :))


What is this Nunhead Forum, I know of the West Dulwich, Camberwell and Forest Hill Forums but not Nunhead?


Another place to promote our local gigs perchance (shameless plug for The Goose Is Out! Sorry admin, wash my mouth out).

Dear All,


Jonny is still very much at The Gowlett and is helping us a great deal with the transition and is indeed a good bloke and landlord. We plan to keep all the good bits: The quiz, Sunday Lunch, The Jazz, Easy Come and the great beer.


We do however plan to give the place a bit of a face lift, open in the day appealing to Mums and home workers with free wireless, up the food offering, introduce comedy yes Gutrocking will have a new home and my bro will be compering when he can and also some feature live music and maybe the odd DJ.


We also want to bring fresh concepts and ideas to the table, our ethos is about doing the basics right, but giving people a reason to come back every time they visit. With my back ground in marketing I hope to let the right people know about what we are doing, and give people a reason to walk that little bit further a field from ED.


To honest though the boss is my girlfriend Lou who some of you may remember did the door at Gutrocking when it was up stairs, she is the driving force and has all the experience to turn our ideas into reality.


We will welcome feedback so please come down have a nosey and let us know what you think.


Cheers,


Dan

Please could I put some requests in??

Could there be more comfortable seats please - the chairs appear to have been discarded from an old church hall, possibly for being too uncomfortable.

Also, it is incredibly dark in the large seating area on the sides away from the TV - it isn't atmospheric because it feels like someone is trying to save money by not turning on lights. There are only 2 tables where is possible to read a paper which is irritating if you have popped in late afternoon/early evening on a Sunday with the express purpose of reading the paper whilst enjoying a nice glass of wine.

Finally, it's often unpleasantly cold. People are cold so they sit as close as possible to the fire (when it is lit which isn't that often) which means that hardly any heat gets into the room and the radiators never seem to be on.

Sorry to grumble - I love the ONH and think it is a great local but I think these minor details stop it from being a really fantastic local. Good luck!

    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
    • this doesn't mean anything - it's a word salad with no reference to the topic at hand. And given the video I posted it's notable that you didn't reference it at all. The subject is the proliferation of weird intimidating Flag wavers....    As for me, I didn't vote Labour at last election, nor will I in next election (if I lived in a Labour/Tory/Reform marginal, that might be different)
    • Her legacy will be the Deputy leader/Housing Secretary who was the Labour party's sleaze crime fighter who broke the ministerial code for not paying enough stamp duty on one of her houses. As Housing Secretary she probably should have known better.    I wonder if she will defect to Corbyn where she will no doubt be welcomed with open arms and the words: "You did nothing wrong, it was all a media conspiracy comrade......"
