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.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      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

      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
