TODAY SOUTH LONDON, TOMORROW SOUTH LONDON


Hello everyone,


Some of you may know me from my occasional posts on here pointing to local-interest pieces I have contributed to Deserter.


Well, I'm happy to announce that we now have a book out featuring some of these tales, plus lots of new material that our publisher absolutely insisted we write.


Described by one Amazon reviewer as "Fear and Loathing meets The Good Beer Guide", it is a celebration of the glorious South and its inhabitants. Part guide, part travelogue, part never-ending pub crawl, it has been chosen as one of the Evening Standard's Best Comedy Books of 2018: https://www.standard.co.uk/shopping/esbest/books-dvds/best-comedy-books-and-dvds-of-2018-a4010706.html?fbclid=IwAR1GxXp3VwbCei5UFYR58BUwygM7H-LZDp2ExsYv-mqkZ9Ux_RJKQ0ieruQ


Dare I suggest it would make an ideal Christmas present for the slacking booze-hound in your life? We all know one. And it's usually us.

Thanks g-g, and amen to that!

Apologies if anyone has had trouble getting their hands on a copy - incredibly, the first print run disappeared in days and then Amazon hoovered up all of the second.


At this rate I'll be making my offer to buy Dulwich College sooner than expected. I plan to turn it into a massive pub with dancing, water slides and everything.


The third print run is in shops now (and available online - read some reviews here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Today-South-London-Tomorrow/dp/1912618745/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=).

    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead
