WTF are you on about... do not judge me on my comments on other subjects not related to this thread.


I think I may of commented about The Patch in another thread when they stated they would be open at

the end of August and I said it would be unlikely.


Once again 'THE FOX' as you put was proved right..


DulwichFox Does not Argue. Just quotes Facts. :)

Louisa I don't read the Guardian - only students do, generally. I prefer more grown-up news in whatever form.


I do however like good food.


I don't even go into Witherspoons at the airport...so if sticky carpets and Aunt Bessie tatties are your thing (oh no, you like Pret-a-manger) then no, I for one shan't be shouting you a bit a lamb - sorry. But I will be very happy to report back on my experience. To spare you from the hideousness of all the good food, and that.

Well I salute you in your endeavour to find 'good food' tallulah (as objective a subject as that may be) and I also respect your 'half glass full' approach to food you are yet to try (unless you are psychic and have foreseen just how great it will be of course). Not to worry about the lack of support for the 'Louisa Lamb Main Fund' or LLMF as I like to call it, I'm sure I'll somehow reach my target of ?10 somehow. Please do report back and let me know how great the food is. I've never been into this Witherspoons establishment you refer to? Is it similar to Wetherspoons? If so I'm down for an Aunt Bessie's roast spud anytime of the day.. I'll certainly be trying that one out next time I'm stuck at an airport :)

Sue that sounds like an epic event to me. Never been a big eater anyway. Let's hope the portion sizes are upto scratch. We may get the odd look, but I'm more than happy to sacrifice my dignity for a nice bit of meat. Rare or well done?

Louisa no need to salute me yet, bless you. I'm not in search of anything - just looking forward to a meal with 'good food'. Have you checked your shoulder lately?


Enjoy your shared plate with Sue - I look forward to the lamb reviews :)


Apologies for my misspelling of 'Spoons....My 'name' is not Tallulah. It's Tallulah71...

Sorry, tallulah71. More an informality than an obvious typo though. No I've not checked my shoulder lately, I hope it's still in the freezer though because I do love a shoulder of lamb. If not, then I'll have to just wait for my shared plate with Sue :) talking of shoulders have you checked yours? I'm sure there's a sense of humour there somewhere. Just a guess ;)

Rare for me :)


We might have to take our own vegetables. Do you think they have the vegetable equivalent of a corkage charge?

Judging by the size of the vegetable patch out the back, we may get more odd looks for the carrier bag full of peas carrots and cauliflowers than we would for sharing a main Sue. Maybe we could bring a bag of Iceland frozen mixed veg and ask them to microwave it for us? :)

I was in ironic mode Otta - their statement, quoted, is clearly laughable and a lot of silly pretentious nonsense - it is, as you say, obviously an expensive restaurant with an attached bar.


Having said that maybe they'll go down the Palmerston/Franklins route and mask the high-end food area with a few locals sipping pints of mild 'out front' for 'colour' and a dash of authenticity.


If the price of their beers matches their food I fear they may struggle to recruit.


I have sent in my resum? in the hope of a doggie bag come closing time.



eta: Now, if they served the faggot in a crusty bread roll with mushy peas as a bar snack...

Congratulations on your OAP-ness, Zebedee Tring!

Sorry for offending all Grauniad readers old and young alike - it was meant in jest just so I could get into a bit of argy bargy with Louisa. No harm intended - I don't read any newspapers apart from the fluffy section in the Torygraph every now and then. take the piss out of me as much you like! ;)

The beer is ?4.00 from the makers in Cornwall + transport + the Patch costs = seems to be fair price ?


Shall we get the Administrator to rename this the East Dulwich Negative Forum or start another one for you '-'s' ?

      Penalty charge Turney road junction

      By ianr · Posted

      There have been at least two or three threads on the topic in the last couple of years. I'm afraid they'll all confirm that you assumed wrongly.  I remember looking into it myself and finding nothing to assist anyone who made the same assumption. While recently having a look through the Townley Road appeals decided in 2023, I came across this determination that also clearly spells it out. 31/3/23 Reasons     Mr X appeals against two Penalty Charge Notices. He argues that they have only been issued in order to make money for the council. Mr X states that the restrictions were introduced to make it safe for school students in the morning and afternoon and that as both 26th December 2022 and 2nd January 2023 were public holidays there was no purpose in enforcing the restriction. The appellant states that he was driving to collect an elderly relative. Townley Road is a route that is for buses, cycles and taxis only Monday to Friday 8-9am and 3-4.30pm. The restriction is in operation every Monday to Friday whether or not schools are on holiday or if it is a bank or public holiday. There was no indication on the sign that the prohibition was not being enforced on either Monday 26th December or Monday 2nd January. I have seen the CCTV footage in relation to each contravention. I have also  seen photographs of the signs and camera car footage that show the signs  and warning signs. I find that the signs are clear and that there is sufficient  warning of the restriction to enable a driver to take an alternative route. I find that each contravention occurred. I refuse both appeals.

      Advice welcomed - potential dog kennel hill estate flat purchase

      By vladi · Posted

      I suggest you write to the estate agent asking specific questions and request a written response. Otherwise they will tell you anything to get a sale.

      Bike handlebars (cables are cut) now on Shawbury Road. Is this yours?

      By NeighbourAlex · Posted

      Hello, I walked past this a few minutes ago on the corner of Shawbury Road X Lordship Lane. Had a look, put it back but then saw the cut security chain as well 20 meter down the road and thought someone definitely is missing at least some handlebars. If they are still there when I come back I can take them in as I live on the next street, please DM me to arrange pickup if they belong to you.   --- UPDATE: 20:02 PM, it's still there.   I've decided not to touch it again or take it with me as it's oily and the wife will not appreciate it.
