Time was when you inherited or chose a pub to be your local. Had your own regular table or bar-stool. Might even keep your personal tankard or glass behind the bar. The barman was probably ready to serve your drink as soon as he saw you walk through the door. You stayed faithful to your pub.


These days in East Dulwich? Well, the youngsters seem to flit from pub to bar on a whim.

It's not just the young 'uns either MacRoban. I 'pub shag and run'.

I find walking up to the bar and nodding at a pump serves me well, I don't look like a half pint sort of chap, so that's all right. I occasionally take a chance and enquire as to whereabouts of that 'bastard Dave', on the basis that in some bars Dave will have been a bit of a bastard.

I find walking through the door, with an 'All right John', or 'Mickey' or 'Toby' or 'Indiana' depending on the bar serves me well.

Every barmaid in ED is either 'Darling' or 'Love' or 'Sweetheart' or 'Babe' or 'Lynne'.

It's served me well enough for a number of years.

In my teens I was sitting in one of the more lively hostelries and put my arm around my girlfriends shoulder, only to be shouted at from the butch bull-dyke behind the bar to "sit properly"

I coloured, stood up and poured the remains of my drink on the floor, stomped out never to return.

Bone3Yard, shouldn't that have been I Don't Like Mondays?

Let's not go dragging Bob Dylan into these things against his will.

Just 'cause he just happened to be there, that's all.

So did they have rules about public displays of affection in pubs back in the olden days? What position did they take on blowjobs in the toilets?

Yes it was Jah but I did it only the once and felt it was good to release my anger, tension, and embarassment.

No HB, the Davina I dallied with was much later in my love life, she met an American and went to Arizona to live.

and the Lady I was with on that fateful night, 'Glenys' (my first meaningful relationship) is happily married and lives in Derbyshire.

We are still good friends.

    • The council are really backward in their approach to management of grounds etc.  They will cut grass and mow through wild flowers / it seems continue to use pesticides according to some observations posted here.   Whilst having green policies food recycling etc blocking roads installing Bill n Ben flower pots in roads causing all sorts of heavy traffic in certain roads.  And installing new LED lights etc when we have adequate functioning lights already.   The impact on wildlife and quality of life for all is devastating.

    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
