Insuflo Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I’m guessing that “work wear ” doesn’t include suits and “sportswear” doesn’t include Dulwich Hamlet colours. Or rugby shirts. 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/357879-the-bishop/#findComment-1699073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never go there but still.... It almost makes me want to turn up dressed like 'Honey G' in full on shell suit look accesorised with a hard hat and a pair of paint spattered workboots just in order for this to 'sedate' 65year old to tell them they need to get a grip or move to Orpington when they tell me I'm not 'suitably attired' and therefore cannot enter their establishment.

Cyclemonkey Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 It is a bit provincial. I assume it is a way to keep out groups who have caused trouble in the past if they need to? I doubt middle aged ladies turning up in trainers and a hoodie are going to be turned away. You do sometimes see those signs in central London pubs, usually on football derby days or ones near construction sites. On the latter I am not sure if builders are particularltly badly behaved in pubs or if they think their more middle class clientele would be offended by the sight of a load of blokes in work boots and plaster spattered trousers. 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/357879-the-bishop/#findComment-1699096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Peckham Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) To be fair, anyone wearing a hard hat & tool belt after 8 pm is either seven Stellas into a post-site session or a member of a Village People tribute band. Neither is particularly appealing. The hat/hood thing is pretty commonplace in loads of places now, not just Bromley - it's for CCTV. They've had a few problems in there in the past, you can see why they've had to make some changes. Strangely enough, curing the gents of the pong probably won't have helped. You could barely go in there without holding your breath, let alone take a great, big nasal draught of something.

OutOfFocus Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Along with actress it was sold to GK. Going back further it was part of Scott's chain. The actress (formerly uplands) was named to go with "actress and bishop ". It got the name Bishop to match Castle in Camberwell. Before that Foresters Arms.

This thread may help or confuse https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10052-the-uplands-to-becomelounged/#comment-297733 There was a competition to name the old Uplands when it was taken over by the person who owned the Bishop, and "The Actress" won for obvious reasons 🤣 The Foresters was vile (in my opinion). I'm interested that there are still problems with the smell from the Gents, because in the Foresters days you could smell it as soon as you went in, and my memory is that it felt like you were squelching your way over the carpet, though I'm sure that can't have been true 🤣 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/357879-the-bishop/#findComment-1699393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
