No Way is it charging (although no proof)


Great Exhibition is sold out (as last year) - It's fancy Dress though and some people love that :)

What was the problem with House of Tippler? why a waste of time? Just curious, but dont particularly like the place.

It's always a good idea to keep a list of the free entry pubs on NYE just in case it doesn't work out for one reason or another. ?5 is actually just the price of a pint - but that's not my issue with tickets.

Probably no more than about 40 people in there,

Absolutely no effort made by the bar as it was a "special" NYE night.....


To be honest it seems like the lane has gone quite downhill for nights out

I used to go nearly every weekend about 10 yrs ago, the vibe has completely changed!

I generally pass through the lane on weekends & find it nowhere near to how busy it used to be!


I have to say liquorice was my favourite place back then!

To be honest, without going into details I went out by accident.

It's been at least 8yrs since I celebrated NYE away from my home.


I guess I just expected a bit more excitement! Lol


The fiver weren't too bad to pay, but not for a dead night!


I went there about 11.30pm, by 12.30 am I was back home!


I can't see that happening again in a hurry, next year I'll probably snuggle up to my duvet!

I think you could be right about that!


When I was telling my friend about my night she suggested I should've gone to prince of Peckham....

Saying that I'm definitely over 40 but my mind tells me I'm still in my 20's! 😎😜

Lordship Lane was sort of a mini destination a few years ago, and it was pretty buzzy on a Friday and Saturday night... but not really these days. Partly because Peckham has so much more going on, but also I reckon because of the nature of people who tend to move to ED. People in their 40s with kids. Not many carefree 20/30 somethings.

I'm guessing that was written by someone who's never been to the West Norwood Picturehouse. In an organisation with a proud tradition of slow and poor service, they stand out as lowering the standard.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By COYS1961 · Posted

      I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By spark67 · Posted

      I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)

      Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

      I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
