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!

    • At present several large retailers such as Co-op, Tesco, Waitrose, John Lewis, and Next use a cloud-based facial recognition system that gives instant alerts to the entry on the premises of known shoplifters.  Around £19 million incidents of retail theft (some with attacks on staff) occur ever year in the UK amounting in value to £2.6 Billion in value, involving 41,000 known offenders. Shoplifting adds to the retailer's costs and this is passed on eventually to honest shoppers, isn't there a case for F.R. to become mandatory at all retailers?
    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks
