A dark day - The CPT (Lounged)

[Sue]

Didn't notice those :))

I'm pleased they've painted those hideous concrete planters outside though, they look very much better than before.

Not convinced about the choice of plants though (sorry, Adam ....) and I guess they probably won't be replacing those.

They do screen the tables off from the road quite well, however - but I like to look out and see who is passing by! Which you can do at the Actress, because their plants are lower growing (and generally more attractive ....)

They are new Katie. Huge aren't they.

Baristas. Oh dear.

Goodbye CPT we knew and (sometimes) loved .....

[DulwichFox]

The Huge concrete things are not actually Planters.

They have a plate on them that indicates they are Security Barriers

like the things that stop people driving through shop windows or stealing Cash Machines.

They don't appear to have drainage..

Also They are looking for staff.

Requirements state. Attention to Hair and Finger Nails essential.

Bald , Nail Bitters need not apply.

Can I make a plea for the five pound pint please - it will make divvying up rounds real easy. 4 pints - 20 squid please. None of this ?4-35 nonsense.

Please do not put Ideas into peoples minds..

?1.00 a Pint Please :)-D

Maths even easier..

Does not require complicated computerized tills.

[KidKruger]

Maybe an EDF turnout for the opening or day close to it is in order.

Once we are in this time machine it will also mean smoking in pubs, casual sexism , no internet or forum and my youth - all aboard for 1979 !

Ibilly99 - take your anti-Apple, foxconn propaganda elsewhere please, or tell me about the rabbits, George.

Meanwhile, the CPT now has a new name....

[KidKruger]

Well..?

[StraferJack]

I suspect it's going to happen by default anyway KK - with both this and HoT opening on the Lane on teh same day, most of the regular drinkers will be dropping in at some point or other

Eh?

Don't leave us in suspense, if this is true :))

[EatsDulwich]

The Great Exhibition...

[DulwichFox]

Yes it has a New ?? Name ..ish..

I know what it is..is Neh na ne ne nah..

The New Notting Hill Brasserie and Bar .....

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Paxton Arms has a better ring to it.

[KidKruger]

That's what I meant, what's the name...

I loved the old glass / wood bar divider, but the opened-up bar area looks great.

Strafe - yes the locals will be back in there, nowhere to hide now, I did appreciate the two bar setup in some ways..

[StraferJack]

I didn't mean just the CPT regulars - by regular drinkers I meant all the forumites who are most likely to be social and go drinking anyway.

I quite like the new name btw - nice connection to the old name

[DulwichFox]

The new name might help people to find where it is...

If it bothers to stay open during the day, unlike the Old place.

Fox..

Away the opening weekend of the new CPT. Fully intend to give it a good rattle the following Saturday as well as the HoT. No doubt all glitches, grumbles and gripes will be fully documented here and by the time I get there it will all be white russians and roses, or something like that.

As well as the new Exhibiton Rooms, House of Tippler and Rye Hotel reincarnation, notices have gone up in Black Cherry windows about "exciting" new venture there soon. We'll see and all that but a new circuit certainly livens things up

You could hardly make the black cherry less exiting TBF

East Dulwich is Phul o a Number o Things! This new offering of places is mega. I intend to towel down to this next Saturday then explore the new places of cultural interest.
