Brought to my attention by SNARL, this was tweeted by the twitter account of the Perryvale bar in response to a tweet about the cat serial killer: 'it's just a cat...#pussybashing They taste great with a pinot grigio !!' I can't believe that a respectable company (which also runs the Crooked Well) would tweet something like this, it's in extremely poor taste and I for one will boycott both the Perryvale and the Crooked Well.


(Title changed by Admin)

So what did they think the original tweet would do, Mark? I am not 'stirring up disrespect', I am calling out a commercial organisation for a sh*tty, tasteless tweet about something which is a serious problem, which is exactly what this forum is for...idiot.

Did you speak to them directly before making your decision to boycott? Because I reckon the responsible thing to do would be to give them the chance to speak in their own defence before condemning them for something it seems (note I say 'seems') for which they are not to blame.

^this

If they think that's a joke I'll gladly join a boycott, but as they're disclaiming responsibility and seemingly taking action it might have been more seemly to ask for an explanation and then post about them if it was unsatisfactory.


ETA Sorry posted before saw JoeLeg's post - what he said.

"This horrible tweet did not come from the Perryvale

or it's staff and we are looking into this. We are

deeply sorry"

As you said it's a respectable company however it made a mistake, it's apologised for it and positive action has been taken. This forum is meant to be a fun and useful place for East Dulwich, it's not exactly for "calling out a commercial organisation for a sh*tty, tasteless tweet", however it may be used for that, I can't see any problem. OK they're premises in Forest Hill and Camberwell but hey, this is the Lounge.


Great, you've called out "a respectable company (which also runs the Crooked Well)", you're going to boycott them but why make all the staff 'suffer' because of lost business? Do we really need comments like "realy[sic] hope you go out of business". Do you think the barman at the Crooked Well should get his shifts cut because of lack of business because of a boycott because of a tweet from someone at the Perryvale that was live for a few hours? I don't.


If they showed support the cat killer and suggest they do more cat killing then yes, take action but in reality it was a joke tweet that went wrong. Noone died and no cats died.

b-b-b-but they called me an idiot sir!


I agree with turtle that it's a "tasteless, nasty tweet by this person", it's just the daft storm in a tea cup but let's make it a big issue and bring this small company to its knees for a misdemeanor attitude that annoys me.


It makes some people and small companies scared to be creative or try things out because they fear a massive reprimand from this type of thing instead of simply saying whoops, I won't do that again.

Too true. Well posted. Move on everyone. Nothing to see here. This element (Tweeting) of modern life can be truly rubbish. Let's get back to jolly banter (pub talk as we oldies call it)

They were hacked and have reported it to the police. I have known Jen and Hector since they opened the Crooked Well and anyone who's ever had any contact with them would know that they would categorically never post something like this. I really hope all those jumping on the hate bandwagon will get back in their boxes as I'd hate for this to negatively affect the businesses that they have worked so hard to build up.

People do common social engineering things - like use the public WiFi password or something similar or the name of your dog.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
