Right, this has been a floater on other threads for a while now and also the subject of few drunken conversations. You know those emphatically sincere conversations that turn up to haunt you in the cold light of day. None the less a few of you have already expressed your interest in an East Dulwich pub crawl this summer. It will be a chance to stroll our streets, take in the local scenery, the varied ambiances of our diverse watering holes and of course to partake in their produce.


All are welcome, from those fresh-faced and new to this whole forum thing to those so far gone with the Forumitis they are reading this off their blueberry and about to walk into a lamp post.


Now my inner anarchist is loath to bed down with such prohibitive concepts as when and where but I do think that we should decide on a date and a route in order to maximise our enjoyment of this little perambulation. It would be silly if we all did it on different days now wouldn?t it?


So for those of you interested when would a good date be? I was thinking mid- late July?


One last thing. The term Pub Crawl may be a bit misleading. You do not have to crawl from pub to pub unless you want to. Enjoyment will not by sullied by rules and your method of locomotion is entirely up to you*. Personally I recommend travelling by conga line.


* No driving mind.

Very early forum thread on just this subject - *bob* wasn't even registered!


I'm in... Things have changed since the above thread (mainly The Plough).


For a real mission, may I suggest;


Start at The Plough, walk down Crystal Palace Road, stop at The Castle, head down to the CPT, take Pellat Road down to The Mag, work down Lordship Lane past Franklins & Licorice, stop at Palmerston, head up Northcross via The Drum, swifty in The Uplands, then mission it to The Hearne (make sure you have a wee before leaving the uplands), then to The Clockhouse. After this we walk around to Goose Green (maybe just maybe doing a detour for the Gowlett), to the EDT, then to the Cherry, then The Bishop (cos it's open latest even though I personally hate the place).


Think that more or less covers everywhere... The Dog is a bit too far off track I think...


When is an issue, I'm totally skint right now, and July is a bit busy...

Ah. But there is a difference between advice and instruction.


Advice being something like, ?Do you really think it is a good idea to ride this down that after drinking all of those??


Whereas instruction is that fascist sat-nav woman telling me where to bloody turn.


Perhaps we should let the gods decide this. We can get a map of ED with the pubs marked on it. Blindfold someone and get them to throw darts at the map. Then work out a route depending on where the darts land.


If it works well we could suggest it to Gordon Brown as an aid to making policy decisions.

if you avoid late night at weekends Bishop is fine. Ditto Liqourish


Ok - still not very "pubby" but the vibe is generally ok. And they both manage to be quieter than EDT. I met some people there on Sun night and the volume of noise is unbelievable. I know it's the stone floors and I wouldn't want to see them go but it's deafening in there. I still love the place ...

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
