EDF Drinks - tonight Friday 6th February - Black Cherry


Recommended Posts

... have got back and realised I warmed up so much I left my cardie there - if anyone's picked up a grey M&S autograph cardigan (or handed it in as lost property) could they let me know?!!


Otherwise a v good night - nice to chat to so many peeps.


Cocktails were fab and the nibbles were good too! Going to bed now as got extractor fan man arriving at 08.30!! x

Dry skin and you don't even drink Chuff, must be the cold weather. Miles, how could i not turn up when i had an italian dude and a friend at my doorstep, couldn't say no to that now.:-S.


It was a good night last night, nice to see local people that i knew at the drinks. The sunken area was reserved for the edf that made mingling easy. The service was great, and Angela provided food for the forumites which was a nice touch.


( Best customer service awards for the Black Cherry ADMIN?).

Great to see so many forumites new and old me and Mrs me were band to the upper levels as there was no room in the inn, well done the Cherry for nibbels and Georgia for araingment, sqids hope you got in to work, 2 pints in your own words Boll**s was a good night.

Was a fun evening and ended up talking to quite a few people. I just hope I remember all those names for next month! :-$


Did get a shock looking at my watch to discover it was nearly 1am at one point. Wow! How time flies when you're having a good time, I guess.


And the nibbles were a lovely surprise. Thank you - will definitely be back in to order food again.



This is textbook stuff. For an evening that is meant to be just a few drinks down the road, I have had that reaction on several occassion



And yes SiriH, they are on the first Friday of every month - so next one is at the Forest Hill tavern I believe - which is in East Dulwich but a bit away from the lane. They did us proud last time we went so come along


There are also several other open events which people on here go along to. I'm partial to the curry club which also meets once a month..

I'm considering moving south, we've got nothing like this north of the river, your little community may be unique in London altogether as the Surbiton one is like a cemetery. Maybe I'll make the trip over for one one day.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
