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!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
