Went there last night with Bumbalina and chums.

Apologies for crappy telephone photo :-$


Splendid food - big portions, lots of variety, very good vinaigrette on the salad which was perfectly crisp. The Pate was like a light caress during a power cut. Top risotto.


Lovely environment, for the relentless and righteous non-smokers the main bar is free of annoyances like me, but for the worshippers of the evil weed there's a well heated and decorated garden marquee that is kept deliciously snug with garden gas heaters. 'Twas like a harem's boudoir in a very nice way! They'll be able to keep it post July with new regs. I especially like that because sensibly none of them are smokers.


The team were excellent. Charming, helpful, engaging, committed, prompt and just kinda nice to be around.


If you're reading this and have nothing particular to do tonight, then I reckon you should just go! It's on the eastern side of the northern 'peak' of Peckham Rye. The very northern bit - not East Dulwich Road, northerner than that ;-)

No! Damn you and your piety ;-). First you get us banned from polite society, and then you want to torture us outside the ciy gates. You've had your piddling victory, go and harass fat people.


No pikeys there last night, a couple of art students and a couple of pretty girls with alice bands. Don't qualify as inter-toll booth caravanners though.

Are you investing in local hostelries Huguenot? You have been effusive in your praise of The Drum and now the The Rye Hotel.


Either you are expanding your portfolio or your impending departure from ED to foreign parts has quite gone to your head; replacing your usual enlightening theological pontifications with enlightening reviews of pubs.


or are you simply a man of the enlightenment? :)

Just extending the repertoire.


The popularity of LL seems quite to have gone to the head of some of the management, who've forgotten the basics about customer service. Hence a conscious decision to investigate other places.


Won't be in Singapore full time until July after the wedding. Bumbalina and I are going together, so if anyone wants to buy a house??

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
