You seem to think I view the world negatively but I don't start many negative threads. I'm a happy bunny


And im only busting your chops as it was such a minimal post. No grudge here, i promise


I'd be surprised if problems happened at Palmerston or franklins but any other pub around the lane, I'd be less confident. Or the mag is ok with bookings too. Others tend to move things around pub style to accommodate drop ins

I guess the pub (or bar) is weighing-up the financial benefits of (eg) fourteen people who are definitely looking for somewhere to booze all night - against the possibility of someone else maybe dropping-in for one or two.



The former being the ones who (these days) keep the pubs open.. unfortunately / fortunately (depending on which way you look at it)

Ha! In my book, the words 'pub' and 'Lordship lane' are no longer compatible. No, most of the licensed establishments that line Lordship lane can only be best described as refurbished bistros that serve a variety of seaweed ales. My guess is that this new policy of booking tables is a fad that's been imported from Battersea and Clapham, and is being trialed in ED. Worry not, I'm certain it will fizzle-out in due course.

unfortunately (in my view).


although I do question how often these people who book for 14 are actually doing this? Sure, they might guarantee a huge profit that night but are they regulars?


I agree with you atticus, I much prefer places that don't reserve seats. that sort of thing really gets on my nerves.


Unless of course, karter has invited me to the Palmerston? B)

    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
    • Was it the two proxy votes that had swung it for Cllr McAsh in the first round? Interesting that he lost by two votes in the second. One wonders what the next move for Cllr McAsh is and whether the infighting will continue between the various factions within Southwark Labour?
    • Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was?  I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document.  It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation.  I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself.  I'm  attaching my notes on it.     re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt
