Crikey, I go back to bed for a little snooze and all the once-a-week drinkers pop their head up over the parapet and discover their 'sense of humour.' I wasn't pointing the finger at you *Bob* in particular but it would seem to me a lot of people only go to the pub once a week to eat a Sunday roast with the wife and kids.


How many threads have we had in the past on this forum that ask "where's the best place to go for a Sunday roast?" Quite a few I suspect.

It was just a throwaway comment!


The Clock House has long been noted for its shite food - it just seemed worth mentioning. Since we're on the subject (if you're listening, Clock Housers), there was a little less beef than I would have liked and it was expensive. But rather that than, say, ?9.50 somewhere else for a crap plate of food with a generous pile of rubbery beef.


On the subject of 'boozers', they have their place and (of course) I like/have liked them as much as everyone else does/did - but they just can't operate successfully everywhere these days. That's all there is to it.

What a load of b*llocks. A pub is for drinking, not eating. Anyone who goes to a pub and bases their entire opinion on the establishment around the food is in the wrong place. Sick of foodies dictating what a pub should or shouldn't be like. The most you should expect in the way of gastronomy in a public house should be a pack of scampi fries or some ready salted.

Yeah, with you Louisa, I was happy with some sweaty cheese or ham rolls and a scotch egg. How times change, eh?!


I wouldn't touch a pickled egg even if threatened at gun point though. I have a hardy constitution but it isn't that hardy. Like wise pork scratchings or "pig's toenails" as we used to call them.

Jeremy a Sunday roast may well have been sold in pubs which otherwise didn't do food, but most people who ate them didn't specifically go to the establishment for it. More often than not, they were pissed up pub goers with the munchies who would snack on any old crap. People who go out of their way to visit a pub for food need to get a life. The alcohol should take priority and food should always be a secondary thought if hungry whilst there.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
