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!

    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
