They have a very big screen in the room on the far right (if you are facing the bar from the door) and another TV just to the right of the bar. I don?t think they had a screen on the other side of the bar last Saturday.


It was absolutely rammed on Saturday as it is the only place on that lower end of LL that shows the rugby. I watched the first half there and went to the CPT for the second which was much more congenial.

Their big screen does seem to be suffering a bit at the mo.

It's got a sallow colour and seems a bit out of focus now, perhaps it was calibrated to project through a smokey fug.


But I can vouch for the EDT as good rugger atmosphere, and there are plasma/LCD tellies in the left and centre bits.

No they have a new screen to the left. The old one was above the door (Roundabout end), there is now a pretty big screen literally above the bar. I noticed it the other week when Man U were on the Big crap screen, and Arsenal were on the other side.


Have been surprised how "quiet" the CPT has been for the rugby. It wasn't dead last match, it actually had a nice number of people, but in the past I have known it to be absolutely crammed for England rugby matches!

I tried to get into the EDT for the rugby but gave up and went to the CPT instead. Stood for the first half tbut then actually got a seat at the bar for the second half so I'm definitely going there again.


Strange how Brendan and Keef were there to...we'll have to put little signs round our necks to identify ourselves!


The CPT had a good atmosphere and the Aussie bar staff took the stick we gave them in good spirits.

Errrr.....can I plead the fifth so as not to incriminate myself? And any awful behaviour may have been down to vast quantities of alcohol consumed rather than my general personality.


Do you not like pink on a man?;-)

Hello Guys,

Just to let you all know, we shall be Proudly screening England V France with sound on all 3 Screens on Saturday Night. I am sorry about the temporary reduced picture quality (particulary with text) we had on the big screen to the right of the door and the plasma. We have sorted out the plasma screen to crystal clear and we have narrowed it down to a small connector problem with one of the big screens which I am on top of.

We will be back on top form for this fabulous weekend of England Triumphs with a few silly French songs thrown in when we crush the caveman.

It's going to be big fun.

Best Regards

Good call on the CPT, plenty of space to watch the game and a pretty good atmosphere.


However on the downside, there seemed to be a shortage of beer? All off other than Strongbow, Speckled Hen or one lager (not sure which). Poor planning surely for what was always going to be a busy night. Also, not be then for a while and it looks even more run down inside now, I s'pse some people might call that "charm".


Headed to the EDT later for post match celebrating - what a top game/night!

Cracking game indeed and I thought the EDT screens were top notch - definitely sorted from the recent blur-o-vision. Good to actually meet AlMurray as well


But some people! Turning up 5 minutes before kick off and actually thinking they might get a table????

Never mind they can always stand straight in front of people who actually bothered to get there at a decent time, block their view and then get indignant when it's pointed out to them. Tossers

Yep, Mr & Mr Broad Shoulders Rugger Tw@ts standing at the front may well be the least popular people in East Dulwich at the moment, for any one who was at the EDT methinks.


And yes, hats off to AlMurray for having turned around sports watching at the EDT in recent days. Not to mention the Hot Dog stand!!

I went over to The George in Balham (same owner as CPT), and my God it was busy, and I don't mean a bit full, I mean mental! It's a massive place, and there was nowhere to move. My friend was queing for the bar when I got in my cab from ED, and when I got there she'd made no pgress at all. Nothing the staff could do, it was just insane. Eventually we managed to get a couple of pints and fight our way outside (losing half a pint on the way). Absolute result though was that the outside area has a big screen on the wall, so I could smoke and watch the game, and most people inside hadn't cottoned on to this! :)-D


Don't think I can handle the final there... No idea what I'll do for it actually, bloody England have royally f**ked up my plans for a stag do in London!

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
