Next EDF Drinks - Friday 5th Dec at The Wishing Well Inn


Recommended Posts

An "interesting" pub I thought - lots to observe! However one of the most fun Forum drinks I've been too - Can't believe that the local man singing Yogi Bear to the lovely Georgia "won" the Kareoke - Keef was robbed!

Maybe next time Strawbs and I might even make it to the mic for Living on A Prayer.... (hmmm - maybe not!)

Lovely to see everyone!

Apologies for my late arrival (11.45pm). What a scene though as I walked in. Four of the hardest guys I have ever seen. Someone sitting on the floor. Some 15 yr olds with wooly hats on and tracksuits. Ten completely plastered fourumites


And Keef and Jah Lush duetting Suspicious Minds.


Not too steady myself I almost knocked over a builders wife's red wine. Which had nothing left in it. But had to apologise profusely to avoid getting stabbed. Top night.

Thank you for the apology you did seem a tad unsteady on your feet on entering the pub and seemed to head straight for Mrs Bob s drink which had at least 50 pence worth of wine left but I managed to save it with my lightnig fast reactions.

I would also like to point out that I am not nor have I ever been a builder and have also given up stabbing people in favour of the quick shooting.

Keef I along with most of the forumites voted for the Bear song purely on comedy value and to be fair to the singer at the end of the night he won 25 pounds for his effort's and was looking to share the money with Georgia but she had already gone, great night.

I hadn't expected to make it but bloody hell what a good night. One of the best. Really enjoyed this one. The Karoake which I'd never done before was a good laugh, Keef was awesome and Mac you should be ashamed of yourself for bottling out, the beer flowed and although I was pretty well juiced before I got there I'm pretty sure I behaved myself and didn't flirt as much as I usually do. Great to meet all the oldies and newbies too (Jumping Jack Flash, cor! What a stunner) And the bear song. Brilliant! Good old fashioned vulgarity at it's best. Thanks to the bar staff too. Lovely old fashioned boozer which I hadn't been too in a while.
I have been told i was quiet on friday but i loved every minute. I do wish i hadn t bottled it but there it is. . A bit weird we were called yuppies by some of the locals but several other locals were sound out. Nice to meet sharon h local as well as drinks first timers. I have been in there a few times lately and will be back.
Can't believe he won the money though, it should have been Keef's.


The guy from behind the bar came round to ask for our votes, and we just told him to stick our whole party down for the Yogi Bear song. One of his mates did come up to me later and say he'd voted for me though, bless him.


I didn't hear any of the yuppy comments, and found most of the locals to be really friendly. There was no confrontation that I saw all night. I absolutely love all the carpentry behing the bar too, proper proper old school pub! CPT still has it, but it's not taken care of, whereas this looked like it was regularly varnished and polished.


Shame for the wine drinkers about the Pino G (vastly over rated wine IMO), but they had decent beer and whiskey, so I was happy enough.


Brendan and Tillie, real shame you guys missed it, I was chatting to Annasfield who also missed it, and we were thinking of arranging another Friday down there sometime for anyone who fancies a few beers and a sing song!


By the way, who was the lovely Geordie lass newbi who made it to the bitter end and stumbled back towards Dulwich with the rest of us? Remember her saying her user name was Japanese, but other than that it is all very very hazy! Nice to meet you anyway!

This wishing well has always been a top pub. Not least because my wife used to work in it, and, it used to have a snooker table out the back that would only cost ?2 an hour. Happy hour all day (til 6) in those days with drinks being ?1 a pint!

    • No, we'd have to be in a police state.  You'd have to get this made law.  Unless it is in Reform's policies.  I'll check. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/live-facial-recognition-technology-to-catch-high-harm-offenders Not government policy
    • There is a sign outside what was Megan's saying that whatever is replacing it will have an "all day concept." What the (expletive deleted) is an "all day concept", and how does it differ from being open all day? For (expletive deleted)'s sake 🙄
    • Not quite the same, but I  was always bemused by the name of Streatham Common Station, which is a lot further away from the common than Streatham Station is. I recently found out that when it was first built it was called Greyhound Lane Station, and then with various changes of road names etc  over the years became Streatham Common Station. Which still doesn't explain it, but is quite interesting (I think, anyway!).
    • Thanks, I'll try. I don't think I'm near to renewal, but they may do something as I've been with them for so long, if I say I'll look elsewhere at renewal if they don't!  What difference does the line speed make? Does it affect the signal at various points through the house? When I changed to fibre, the guy who installed it really resisted having the router where it had been before, at the back of the house,  presumably because it would have been a lot more work for him having to run wires through, over doors etc? At the time I was working at the front as my office at the back had become so dark (adjacent loft extension) so I wasn't too bothered, but I've since moved back. I've got those plug in extension things, but the WiFi at the back is now sometimes quite iffy, particularly the printer, which is annoying.
