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.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
    • Highly recommend landscape gardener Jasper Davis. Jasper designed and built me a bespoke summer house.  He also transformed my garden including natural paving/sleepers and planting. Can't recommend him enough.IMG_9568.HEIC Contact Jasper on 07966 251778
    • Is anyone  replacing their clip on buggy parasol?  Looking for a foster mum friend please
    • I don't think so, sadly. The Zenoria Street indoor market failed to take off and generally speaking traders at Christmas Fairs and Farmers Markets are reporting that it isn't worth their while now. If you go to North Cross Road, the vast majority of visitors are only buying the street food! It was the same when I went to the Horniman Sunday market and second hand market yesterday. With the lack of footfall I couldn't understand how any of the traders could be making any money.
