Bit of bother at The Castle last night!

[Jeremy]

Some kind of brawl spilled over into the street... several police cars on the scene. One of the guys involved started "attacking" cars parked along Crystal Palace Rd.

That place is a dump, lots of the punters are chavs & pikeys, and I hope they get priced out of ED.

[Keef]

We were hearing reports of a fight in there about half 5 in the evening. Didn't take them long!

Post edited for unintended offence caused!

Is this thread racist?

[bailey]

Huguenot you wanna watch your mouth mate

your remarks and tone are racist and bang out of order

[dulwichmum]

I apologise for the brawl I caused in The Castle last night. I just see red when they try to sell me a bad pint, but I really should control my temper. I feel much better for the night in the cells in Peckham nick. I promise to behave myself tonight. I think it was drinking all day for St Patricks day, I really should try to pace myself.

[Keef]

To be fair to Huguenot, I imagine he was being tongue in cheek, and there's really no reason to start calling him racist!

[dulwichmum]

Dear Mr Keef, I agree, where is the love?

[spadetownboy]

whats all the fuss about,it was probably a bunch of drunken paddies out celebrating our patron saints feast day as only they know how.sure whats a good session without a ruck of sorts at the end of it all.

[Jeremy]

OK... my comments about their customers, and getting priced out of the area were a bit over the top in retrospect! But I am starting to get quite cheesed off with that place. There's still broken glass outside, you'd hope that the owners would have the common sense - and respect for the community - to clean it up.

They won't get priced out cos they're all on housing benefits anyway

[snorky]

rubbish pub anyway

How did East Dulwich Mum manage to get banged up in Peckham nick (in the sense or incarcerated, not impregnated!) I have been trying to get in there for months with no success. I pay my taxes, you know! This is clearly sexism in favour of female offenders!

[jim_the_chin]

there was a fight? outside a pub? what IS east dulwich coming to.

Administrator - can you stick this thread in the 'Is east Dulwich becoming too posh' link please.

[Administrator]

I won't merge them but here's a link to the Is east Dulwich becoming too posh? thread

A friend of mine used to know the (ex) landlord of The Castle. he introduced me to him one evening. I got home at 2:30am :(

[jim_the_chin]

thanks admin (i was only slightly joshing though) ;)

I must admit, a fight outside a public house isnt exactly the biggest tabloid shocker in the world... but I it's a little too common for some of the newcomers to the area... perhaps we should put caged fencing around working class establishments so that it doesn't offend the oxbridge crew? lol

[Jeremy]

True, it is a "working class" pub, and it's all part of the risk you take by living near a grotty hole like The Castle. But I've lived in rougher neighbourhoods than this, which much nastier pubs. What I do find shocking is that they don't even sweep the broken glass from the pavement, in what is still a family area after all.

[spadetownboy]

thats the second time you,ve mentioned that glass jez,obviously got a thing about it.if you,re so concerned why dont you a)sweep it up yourself/kick it to the side of the road or b)mention it to the guvnor of the pub.

[Keith]

Just print this off and pop it in the letter box of the Castle. They should get the message then.

[Jeremy]

Spadetown - I have swept up glass (and other litter) at least once in the past! I think I will pop in and ask if they can maybe sweep up each morning.

[spadetownboy]

good man jez keep up the good work,southwark council need men like you.

[Keef]

Now now kids ;-)
