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 ...

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
