although the forum's birthday falls on the 18th September and I'd like to suggest we roll the celebration and drink into one on Friday 21st or Saturday 22nd... Hopefully we could get some sponsors and a willing venue too...


we can discuss tonight over a drink or two

Have fun at the plough but if you're going to eat I'd recommend crisps and olives. Last time I went there the "veg" of the day was a bowl of fried onions and carrots (mmmm yummy) and the "fresh line-caught mackerel" came out of a vacuum pack ....

At time of writing this, the other threads are overflowing with bonhomie - if half the people make it tonight it could be a blinder


Georgia - do we have an area booked and is it indoors or outdoors? No worries if there isn't the place is mahoosive anyway

Hi - have just tried to call them to reserve an area but the phone number is out of order. So unless anyone is around to pop in and ask, I guess we'll just have to sit where we can. Let's try to sit outside as the sun is shining...

See you all later (roll on 5 o'clock).

New number at the Plough 0208 693 4236 - my friend work there it changed when they re-opened! There is a BBQ all over this weekend, quiz show next week on Thursday and a massive board outside advertising bank holiday Real ale and cider festival, BBQ, accoustic session - pulling out all the stops! I am a bit of a regular, mainly due to the fact my friend works there - but not be biased, I really do like it, they got board games which you can play while you chill-out - brilliant idea.


I will be looking out for the forum members in the near, but I cant make tonight as I out for a friends birthday.

Good work sir to get them up relatively soon. .


i thoroughly enjoyed last night and i regret only that with so many people there isnt time to speak properly with everyone


i thought that they handled our tardiness in leaving with good grace as well considering they are a chain neighbourhood pub. .


but the big question remains. . Was louisa there?

Echo your thoughts Sean, was a lovely evening, but didn't get to talk to half enough people. Also, sorry if I did talk to anyone towards the end of the evening because I probably made very little sense! I was rather drunk last night :)-D


But hey, that's what being a numpty is all about! >:D<

It was a great night. I'm only sorry it didn't start earlier so that it could have gone on for longer. There were some people I didn't get to talk to, which is a shame. I had a great time though and met some lovely people. Roll on the EDF birthday bash!

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
