The CPT usually gets quite busy when the rugger is on, same group usually turn up, but are never seen otherwise. They come in, speak in loud deep voices so as to show us all how knowledgeable they are about the game (like none of the rest of us have ever played), then after the game they carry on drinking because they're great at drinking (Hmmm), and by 10pm they're dribbling towards a scared looking girl, and then they fall over and go home!


God I wish I could be in their gang! :-S


Couldn't care if they're built like brick sh!t houses, any bloke who falls over by 10 is no man! Our own beloved Mockney Piers weighs about 1 stone, and I can promise he'd out drink these fools!


Ahem, sorry, I hate rugger buggers, put me off playing the game I used to love.

That may be he case in England but, as a valley's comprehensive school educated Welshman who lives around the corner from the CPT, I would like to point out that, in Wales, the game is very, very much a working class game...we're just a bit different to what has been described above! Thankfully...

I think I?m the only South African on the planet who knows sod all about rugby. People hear my accent and just start spurting forth this and that about the game. Normally I just smile and nod not wanting to let the side down by admitting my ignorance.


I can talk your ear off about cricket though.


And on review that appears to have precisely nothing to do with filming at the CPT. Sorry.

Rpike, it is still played in a lot of state schools, and I played myself from school through til I was about 22/23, but these blokes just turn up and annoy the normal rugby fan!


Having said all that, I played for a team in Liverpool, and they were not posh, the were absolutely psychotic!!!!!

Many apologies Jeremy for my sweeping generalition of rugger bugger type names but I think you get my drift. And, good man for pacing yourself. One has got to know one's limitations. "One", sorry I'm speaking posh myself now. I may well do the royal "we" next. This could be headed for the lounge methinks. CPT CPT CPT!

Apparently they were filming "crowd scenes" to show during the rugby?! Not entirely sure what they mean by that, but hey ho, that's what the guy told my friend when she asked!! Some kind of ad I guess.


They also filmed down round goose green, and then were off to do filming at a wedding. Bizarre.


As an aside, my friend rang and complained, as after they left Goose Green the catering company left loads of bags of rubbish behind which had split and gone everywhere. Would be interested to know if the refuse company came as promised and cleared up the mess?

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
