I shopped for vulnerable neighbours during the first lockdown and now realise why they've suddenly asked for help again to get some shopping in. They can't get on-line deliveries booked but I have the Sainsbury's app and they send me lots of messages about the chop chop delivery. This costs ?4-?4.99 for a few items.
I tend to make good use of these services, even though i am not vulnerable, shielding, old and decrepit etc. I use them to order large volumes of beers when on special offer, because frankly i cant be arsed to carry them from the shop across the car park into my car and then unload them again at home. I'd far rather the shop done the hard work and effort, seeing as the customer is king.

I often drink on the streets too, but will just grab a couple from the fridge and head out to meet people to socialise and get drunk around the East Dulwich area.


Its great that the Palmerston is closed again, as we can just sit on the benches outside it boozing, and not pay their hideous pint prices. Shame about the weather meaning that sitting outside for more than say half an hour is rarely feasible.

    • I don’t think i ever wore a badge / not because I didn’t want people to know who I was (I think most people knew) but I hate badges and wearing them  find badges a bit cringe tbh  just ask someone there name - you’re already out socialising and drinking      There wasn’t a lot to it.  Pick a pub that’s likely to have space on the evening - ask the pub can we reserve the tables. Post date and time in here  it did grow to some quite big evenings.  But those early meet-ups were only 5 or 6 people. It grew from there  if it’s a date I can be in London I might try and get along 
    • He’s always playing a gig somewhere here and I thought I had read he lived here - I could be wrong on latter point tho 
    • There were a number of pubs called "x and firkin".  I recall "font and firkin" in brighton. I think the original was in Lewisham.    I reemember from around 1984. At some point they got taken over by M&B and went through a number of name changes. It was a bit out of area for forum drinks.....  My recollection is most people wore name badges with either their forum name or real name. Some people didnt want to reveal their forum id. I have some floppy disk labels I can donate to the cause!  
    • How come? Has he moved down there? I thought he lived in London?
