The Best Bar in East Dulwich 2007 award - discussion


Recommended Posts

In the interest of fairness I feel I am going to have to try to put aside my bias towards the CPT and actually go to every pub in East Dulwich and make a judgment on this.


The test will be to engage the bar staff in conversation and after a few pints enquire about the meaning of life. Wherever I get the most satisfactory answer will get my vote.

Yes really! I've always liked setup down there and the staff are great. Foods good, music?s varied and I can always get served quickly. Yes it gets busy on the weekend but that doesn?t bother me as I don?t enter LL on a Friday/Saturday night anyway, at The Gowlett mainly you see (playing pool). I really would like them to win The Best Bar in East Dulwich 2007 award, but honestly, it won?t bother them one bit if they don?t. Me on the other hand, I'll be devastated :)-D

Not sure if to put this in the fun Consultation topic or start a new one, but here goes.

I won an award for my nomination of Clockhouse for its Flowers in Bloom entry.

That is to say - Southwark Council have a Flowers in Bloom competition or some such thing and I nominated the Clock house and it won and I won something for my nomination.

Yeah - think that's what it was.

So I visited Laurence at Clockhouse and told him.

He had not actually been told he had won the award.

Southwark sent ME, the nominator, his award for his pub.

So I hope we can be sure the winner of the best bar will actually be told they've won.

Not if Southwark Council have anything to do with it.


Sometimes some of these topics do overlap. I'm just about to start one about cycle lanes and more wasted Southwark Council money.....

Fair enough, different folks and all that. I've just never felt comfy in there, don't know why really, just don't like it. That said, I like the CPT, which most people think is scruffy so there you go.

A while back it would have been the 72, no contest, but I've recently been frequenting the CPT more and more ... hmmmm ...


HST, about half the pubs on the list I haven't been to. You know, the one's down the "wrong" end of LL.


Think this weekend there might have to be a bit of sampling done - all for the purposes of research, you understand. :)-D

Really guys, how many bars can't you walk to in ED? They're all with in staggering distance.


And I definitely need to do some more sampling!

    • what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.
    • The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.
