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.

    • 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!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
