Tesco don't sell draught and keg beer, or at least they hadn't changed into a pub last time I was in there :))

Not true pubs, bars and off licences have always been allowed to sell alcohol to takeaway. What is not allowed until July 4 is drinking it on the premises.


Now i'll grant you in recent days I think some places have been pushing that a bit by allowing customers to congregate outside.

You must REALLY notice the difference between bottled/canned vs draft beer, if you're inclined to pay 2-3 times the price!

Well yes, there is a massive difference!

The Pub is a Very British thing.. well it was...


Pubs are closing down at a rate of one every 12 hours, new figures show.


The Campaign for Real Ale say that 378 pubs shut down permanently between July and December last year in England, Scotland and Wales, representing more than 14 closures a week.

24 Feb 2019


Covid 19 really is the final nail in the coffin.


Most people I have spoken to say they would not be happy to go to the Pub if they open on the 4th July.

It is not going to be the same 'Social' night out we were once used to.


People have got used to Supermarket prices of Beer, Wine and Spirits.


Based on 3 pints per day at ?4.40 per pint. after 104 days of lock down I have potentially saved ?1372.80

That does not account for the occasional Shot at ?4.00 + a time.


I think it is very likely Pub Prices Could rise significantly. Food sales are likely to decline.


Eating out in our favourite local Restaurants will be a Very different experience.

Having to book in advance and not be able to make a snap decision when a few mates happen to fancy a Ruby..


It's grim..


Foxy :(

Perhaps Weatherspoon Pubs will continue as usual to cater for the local sole drinker.

I understand if there's a limited number of tables then pubs will want to fill them with family/'bubble' groups.


I do tend to be a solo visitor to pubs though - maybe I'll have to be a guest of Tim Martin :)

Cask ale is very different, I'd agree. Guiness/stout from a nitro tap is very different, too.


Lager and craft keg beer - not so much. In fact I'd say canned craft beer can be better. Probably fresher, and definitely more consistent.


Support the pubs, though. That would be a fine reason to get a takeaway beer.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Local plumber and gas engineer - Jafar - Portrait Plumbing

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
