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.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️

      Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard.

      So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee?

      OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
