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

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road. Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
