Ask the price in future.  I used to drink in the Crystal Palace Tavern. What happened to that local boozer?

I've twice refused to pay, once for a half which was so expensive I thought they were charging me for a pint, on Vauxhall embankment.  More recently I refused to pay in the Dulwich Woodhouse, but I should have known it would be overpriced.  Both pubs had the right to insist I paid 

Suggest you drink in the Blythe, Castle or Capitol in future

The CPT used to be our local. I still miss it.

The Castle is in some ways similar though! The other two you suggest are a bus ride away (depending on where you live, obviously!)

You'd better not go to the Palladium then - two glasses of red wine in the interval last Saturday – £26.

I'd also recommend avoiding the Royal Albert Hall - £15 for a 250ml glass of red. 175ml is a bargain £13

That applies to most lager.

Earl pubs in London have always been expensive.  Or you can compromise your principles and go to wetherspoons.  Or go to the Blythe the best pub in the world.

The creation of pub chains, closing of breweries and national and regional brewers to global multi-nationals hasn't helped.

But go into LL at a weekend and there are plenty of people prepared to pay top dollar for overhopped overcooled over fizzy and over priced IPA.  Don't get me started on the contamination of our traditional apple fermented drink (cider) with other fruits to make it an alcopop.

does anyone know the reason for the nosedive in standards across the board at the EDT recently.

incompetent badly trained new bar staff, who have overcharged, double charged or short changed on numerous occasions.

some who do not seem to know how to pull a pint properly.

cleanliness has taken a dip too

I don't know about that, but they used to do a really tasty and reasonably priced veggie sausage and mash with gravy.

The last time we had it, the sausages were small and dry and practically inedible, and the menu had completely changed.

Apparently there is a new chef. Who uses a different supplier for the sausages.

Don't think we will be eating there again.

Time we had a Wetherspoons in Dulwich ! 

Anyone  suggest a suitable site ?

perhaps near the Poundshop ?

It was suggested at one time that what became The Cherry Tree would be a good place for a Wetherspoons.

I can't now remember whether Wetherspoons actually put in a bid for it, but anyway if they did it obviously didn't happen.

Shame! I like Wetherspoonses 😀

Good range of ale at a cheap price 😀 

Though they are usually in interesting old buildings, and the previous incarnation of The Cherry Tree, whose name I can't remember, certainly wasn't that 🤣

      Cheese shops

      I hear there was a bear seen in Dulwich Park this week, a bear warden was dispatched by Southwark to capture it. They used a piece of cheese as Bears are partial to cheese (not marmalade sandwiches) and was heard crying "Camembert  Camembert" to coax it out.

      Sorry. They have become a bit grating. It was just a rarebit of fun.

      Oxfam postcard campaign: If you could put into words…

      By IlonaM · Posted

      'You’ve shown time and time again that you care about what’s happening in Gaza. If you could put it into words, what would your message of solidarity with Palestinians be? You can now pick up a free postcard in your local Oxfam shop to write your message – expressing how you feel about the atrocities happening to people in Gaza. Post it back to us, and we’ll take it to the Labour Party Conference in September. Many MPs will be there. So will the Prime Minister. This is a big opportunity to speak up for Palestinians and show the breadth and depth of the UK public feeling about this. Roba, an Oxfam colleague in Gaza, has been sharing her experience. It’s hard to read, but it’s important these stories are heard: “You can’t truly understand what starvation is until you’ve felt it. Until it is no longer just a word, but a daily reality that consumes life. There is nothing more soul crushing than hearing a child cry. Not for toys, not for luxuries. But simply for a loaf of bread. That tiny little voice bidding for something so basic. So human. We’re not demanding anything grand. We’re seeking the bare minimum to stay alive. And when you can’t answer that cry, when all you have are empty hands and a heavy heart, it leaves a mark that never fades.” We’re seeing a shift from our government. But they’re not doing enough. Despite changing their tone and acknowledging that there is a risk Israel has breached International Humanitarian Law, they are continuing to allow the sale of arms to the Israeli government. They need to see and feel your emotion. People are starving to death. People are being shot at whilst collecting aid. People are being displaced, time and time again. And Israel's decision to take direct military control of Gaza City marks a dangerous escalation. Israel continues to illegally occupy the Palestinian territory and this latest plan is a brazen act of erasure carried out in full view of the world. When will our government take action and say ENOUGH? So please, share your message. You can even add your name and postcode if you’d like us to try and get your postcard in front of your own MP. Ghada, our colleague in Gaza, said: “Every action, every voice, adds to a movement that can’t be ignored. This is not just about politics. This is about humanity. It’s about solidarity. It’s about refusing to stay and be silent.” We will never stop speaking up for Palestinians in Gaza. Thank you for being here, Charlotte Campaign Engagement Manager'
