went there on saturday night

the staf were disinterested the drin were epensive the music was on ver loudly and was dance music ...fine.. but people were eating resataurant styleee and prices to match ,we asked for a change in music to somethng more mellow ...nothing happened i think the manager was texting too much to take any notice .. not good enough

Loving the Monty right now. Sweet people , food is pretty good. The only issue is identity. Is it a loud young bar, a footie pub, a gastropub. They'll work this out in time. Right now the only thing they get wrong is music volume. It's crazy having to raise your voice when youre having a quiet, possibly romantic drink/bite.

It is bloody expensive to have Sky Sports in a pub so if they're gonna show it they would want to attract as many customers as possible in order to justify the cost.

Or... they're stealing it somehow.

(And if they are they'll get caught and prosecuted, if anyone reads The Publican now and again they'll know this.)


Another reason I love The Clock House ( - sorry "TCH" to remain in keeping with the trend for tiresome TLAs, or should that be TTLAs) is that they don't have a telly and the music is rarely loud enough to interrupt a conversation and the music is my kinda music too, and - well as well as the great food, Laurence is a bit of a dish int' he.

AND it's across the park.


If I want to watch footie in a pub I'd go to one I knew was legally paying for it and made an effort to accommodate all its customers. Some "football" pubs are right dives.


But this is East Dulwich, we don't tolerate dives, do we!

The beginning of the 1980s? No way - it first started at the 1990 World Cup and accelerated beyond control at "Euro '96". I was at University at the 1982 World Cup and in our hall of residence I remember perhaps 5 or 6 of us watching England games...and definitely no birds..........now everyone from the home counties, birds and all, support one of the predictables..."Oooh I like Chelsea they had lots of Italian players when I started liking Footie"..."Oh Arsenal look good, Melvyn Bragg and Nick Hornby support them"....my families from Mile End, my nan sulked 'cos her dad wouldn't let her go to Wembley in 1923 whilst her brothers bunked in over the gates....I don't have a choice and wouldn't have it any other way



Piers - I'll let you off as you're a Hammer

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • 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
