Review of Lordship Lane

[The Dulwich Raider]

Has Lordship Lane been ruined by organic shallots?

I spent a day on it to find out.

Good stuff as always Dulwich Raider.

[steveo]

You answered your own question and rather nattily too

So the Half Moon is closed, the Grove Tavern is closed and now I hear the Dog is to shut, although hopefully not for ever. Of the big Dulwich boozers only the terrible ones - the Alleyn's Head and the Fox on the Hill - survive.

Is it time to petition Dulwich Estates?

[Otta]

"After a hike of nearly 15 minutes I thought to myself, I?d better hop on a bus or I?m going to be here all day. That?s the whole idea, my mind reminded me. Fuck my mind, I thought, and jumped on a 185.

Made me laugh.

[Otta]

And the bit about Inside 72 is spot on, that's what I used to like it for. After last orders at the CPT we'd head down there for a couple of late ones.

The Dog is closing for 12 months for a refurb

A good read.

Wow - thanks for the responses.

Was expecting a lot of "But you missed out this and missed out that..." (which I have - it's a frickin' long road)

Love and pints,

You should change your name to TLDR but otherwise a very entertaining update.

Latest news I heard was more positive about the pub reopening, but Dulwich Estates are pressing ahead with the plan to convert the top floors to flats. That could, of course, spell the end of live music there...

Genius.

Maybe when I die, as in The Late Dulwich Raider?

Then I can put something on the tombstone that's too dull to read.

I bloody did as well. To punish myself I will look in tonight.

Nice saturday morning read

[Seabag]

Ha, nice read

I acquired a teak side board recently, did Half Life loose one in Deptford recently ?

"Edward Alleyn?s original vision for his Dulwich foundation was to educate the poor and assist those in need, not to provide handouts to the privileged at the expense of the community at large. If he was alive today he?d turn in his grave"

[Robert Poste's Child]

Excellent read. Is Half-life also an EDF user?

[Jah Lush]

Great stuff. And thanks for the reminder about Mojo. A little hidden gem on the main drag.

[LondonMix]

Only comment- the dispute itch the Ritzy is over and they will get the London Living Wage.

[Otta]

I thought they'd rejected the offer made to them?

[Loz]

The dispute is over and the staff settled on a pay rise, but not at the LLW level.

[LondonMix]

I thought it would rise to LLW over time but perhaps not.

Good article though!

I suggest:

The Late Dulwich Raider

It all ended too soon (unlike his articles).

;)

I loved your writing 'Raider. Made me laugh a lot and pretty much summed up how I feel about LL too. Thanks for the link, & will we ever get to know whether the sideboard got onto the night bus?

[Henry_17]

TDR,

Excellent style.

Thank you for your comments about the Lordship Lane piece on Deserter. I quite like you all.

FYI, Half-life has the sideboard. He does not post on the EDF - he has only ever bought one computer (an Amiga 4000T) and it's still in its box.

I've got a new piece about getting wellied on the water:
