In what can best be described as, a cricket match in Wandsworth, The Crystal Palace Tavern Cricket Team* will meet the King?s Road Cricket and Social Club this Sunday.


The event has attracted an unexpectedly high level of enthusiasm with literally some people having read a thread about it on the East Dulwich Forum. Still some others have pretended to listen during East Enders while their significant others have made explanations for their imminent absence from domestic duties this Sunday.


The game will feature such highlights as players attempting to throw (without actually throwing) a cricket ball from one end of a pitch to another. There is also the promise of such scintillating exchanges as, ?Out!?

?It never was!?

?Yes it was.?

?No it wasn?t?

?Yes it bloody was.?

?It?s always the same with you isn?t it? Fucking by the book jobsworth so-n-so?

?Up yours.?


and, ?ahh. Can I have another go please??


?What time should we meet at the station?? said Mr Pears MacMonkey, secretary of the CPT meeting at stations working sub-committee for the Camberwell area.


Leaving the question on all of our lips, what time? What time indeed?




*Also but not exclusively known as, The East Dulwich Forum Cricket Team and open but not restricted to anyone who has ever had a drink in a pub or has heard of or knows someone who has heard of East Dulwich and or the game of cricket, although special dispensation has had to be applied for to allow players from Sydenham.

You're doing the SLP's job again Brendan

In all fairness the sydenhamite practically lives in the CPT.

Right, any chances of spouses and pals hoiking cool boxes of beer, half time oranges and pie? (I'll be doing the first)

My other half will be coming and we will be taking the car + 1x cooler box of beer. Unfortunately Nat is on call so the boot of the car is full of her equipment but we should be able to give 2 people a lift. So let me know if anyone wants a lift. Leaving at about 10:20am.

Cool. You?ll have to arm-wrestle Natalie for it though, I?m driving. (Well there at least) I?d watch out if I were you, she?s freakishly strong for a girl.


Space for 1 more folks, unless your other half is also coming Keef.


What are we doing for tea? Are we all just going to bring beer and pork pies etc.

More Pre-Match News


?Stuff you guys I?m not playing.? ? Says vocal CPT supporter and East Dulwich institution Lord Jahseph Lush


Meanwhile CPT manager Sir Manky O?Piers is fined 50% of his match fee for gratuitous use of the word hoiking.


And this just in: ED forumite earns universal scorn for pushing the boundaries of acceptable silliness.

Good news, Dems' plans have changed, and he will be joining us (so Brendan I'll probably go along with him in his car).


He also said (with some bullying from me) that he would be happy to play the captain's role on the field, unless anyone else particularly wants it... If someone does, it's their's, but if not, Dems has experience of leading / organising teams.

Don't worry about tea guys - we'll provide all the food and squash. Think we'll have to charge ?5 match fee each to cover the cost of hiring the ground etc.


If you want tins bring some though.


Just looked at the weather - it's going to be dry. Might be a bit nippy on the sidelines though so bring a jumper.

I would hasten to add that there are usually last minute drop outs, and anyone who was thinking of coming, do do come along despite the apparent full-strength team above. Plus I'll no doubt be hobbling at some point, so a substitution could be on the cards.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
