No excuses, I just wont be there - I've seen more than enough fights spilling out of the Castle to give it a wide berth...

I am liking the adventure of The Castle but am concerned that some might be put off by its reputation. We should pick venues that are palatable to all. We dont want to get into name calling of those who just dont feel comfortable going into any proposed venue, it needlessly alienates peeps who are then unlikely to turn up to any other EDF gig.


Unless of course that reputation is completely unfounded and regulars can vouch for it.


I was convinced that the EDT was frequented bt drunks and ner-do-wells, and then I went in there and found, well ....

The Castle is not all that bad, and a big group of people will have no trouble... However, you are right Mike and we should try and pick venues for all, so I hereby state that I shall stay away from any drinks in The Bishop, so it should never be considered ;-)

I forgot to say what a good time I had at the Friday drinks. Meeting many of the regulars again and some newbies too. And finding out that EDoldie is someone I've been friends with since I was a five-year-old came as a complete surprise.

I'm constantly amazed at the surliness of the bar staff in the Dog. It is run by a lovely friendly couple in Duncan and Nikki and I suppose it doesn't really reflect well on them for their staff to be such a miserable bunch of surly gits. They could learn a lot from the wonderful friendly staff at the CPT.

Really? That's odd.

We live nearby and are kept awake or woken pretty much every weekend by people shouting out front. Sometimes it's all just friendly banter, if a bit loud for 1am in a residential area, but there's a fight probably twice a month I'd say and we've seen a couple of really scary beatings going on.

I'm sure most of the people who go there are perfectly nice, but I'm not sure I'd ever go in.

Looks like we are gravitating towards the Uplands on 29/2 - large enough pub to hold us, is acceptable to all and is in East Dulwich.


Maybe we should alternate ED pubs with neighbouring area pubs - Dulwich last time, ED this time, etc.

Exactly right... We could one day take over the whole of Inside 72 like we did with The Drum that time... Only problem is The Drum was basically empty until we arrived, whereas we'd have to get in to Inside nice and early or we'd stand no chance!


I might get shot down for this, but a forum drinks is probably the one thing that would get me in to The Vale. At the end of the day it would give us a chance to see what it was like lately, plus we'd have a big group of us together, and we could even have a boogie if we so desired... :-S

As was shown at the Dog on Friday where standing room only and pissy barstaff still could not prevent us from having a good time: for that reason I agree that we could try the Vale. That plus the fact some people on here actually like the place.

Exactly what Citizen said. I have had some great nights in there (a long time ago), as have some of the NTV crew. It was all ruined by the attitude of the owner/manager, but if a big crew of us were there it could be fun, and it serves til 2, so no groups of us standing cold on the street at midnight wondering where to go next.


Come on, if it's that sh!t, there are plenty of other places we can go to.


Anyway, another time perhaps, Uplands 29th?

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
