Ooh, what?s the most offensive / provocative thing I can say on each thread ?

No-one knows it?s me, I can hide on the Internet and let the drivel flow.

I?m so far down the pecking order, and my prospects so limited, that I actually think East Dulwich population is posh by comparison to me, so I resent them through my jealousy.

😭😭😭

Inside 72 was a good little local "dive bar" (as the Americans might put it). I liked it, and there are similar-ish things in Peckham these days. To be honest I am not sure if it would do well in ED in the 2020s.


The Drum... went in once with a friend. It was like accidentally walking into a stranger's living room. Had one drink and left. I guess it was a quiet night and the few other people in there all knew each other. Maybe a bit unlucky.

It was an awful pub, and so was the landlord.


There was a short time when a really nice and enthusiastic couple ran it, renamed it The Cherry Tree and brought in an excellent chef, but the owners chucked them out and it went downhill again 🙄

Oh really? Can you remember the name of the village and/or the pub? I'd like to see them again too. They were lovely, and really shabbily treated.

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
