EDF Drinks - tonight Friday 6th February - Black Cherry


Recommended Posts

Thank you Georgia. Blinding evening (literally), excellent collection of forumites and possibly the best venue so far IMO. I don't know you Angela but, if you're reading this you should be very proud of such a fine establishment. Cheers.

just put two and two together... got my go slow w/e brain on, so it was that Georgia (first person I met with Jenny at my first EDF drinks...) who fixed it, got it now!!!


brilliant, good choice of venue, lovely evening, thanks for organising it

So I want to know (as I couldn't be there yet again)


Did anyone "Get Karter" (or did he get anyone) ?


Did any Ladies join the "Miles and More" Harem ?


Was Chuff "Chuffed" with the evening ?


Did Woofmarkthedog turn up to bark at people (I have a nagging feeling that he/she is barking mad you know)


and finally is anyone red faced with shame ?


Maybe next time I will have to make the effort and come along

I was chuffed LuvPeckham and I managed to bundle Miles into a corner but he escaped. I also did 'get Karter', I went to knock for him on the way to see if he wanted to come out to play.


No shame for me and I cured my shyness, everybody was lovely


bet there was for some though?

Hey Luv, the campaign against Miles at the Cherry had fallen at its knees.He is too good, too slippery. He wins. Next time though you will be coming along to the drinks, we will be knocking at your front door too . Look out for that 'knock'.;-)

I ain't done nuffin if anyone nocks, if its the rozzers hide the shooters up the back passage and deny everyfing call my lawyer and tell 'im to get dawwn to peckham nick before me like


However if it is opportunity knocking then that is entirely a different kettle of fish and of course I am in to entertain such a lovely caller "more tea Mr. McVicar ?"


PS Karter - don't worry I have plans for our Mr. Miles and it may well involve the supporting structure for the new Elephant and Castle development... however may just take a few years yet to implement....

I think the camera was set to Zoom in Chuff, so pretty close. I would say from top of forehead to chin give or take an inch. I didn't take loads though as big Andrew accosted me after 5mins and took it back..

Has that left you worried? Sure you probably look great..

I wasn't there. So none of me either.

It's bad enough with the paparazzi permanantly parked outside my house and having to avoid their camera flashes but whenever I go to an EDF piss-up there's Andrew with his zoom lense. Click click click! Flash, flash!. "No pictures please, ask my agent."

    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
    • The swifts & bats are alive & well around Upland Road. A beautiful sight & sound in the evenings. Just be sure to leave plenty of water out for them, as they are at high risk of dehydration & struggle to take flight at ground level.
    • Loads in upland road last night…
    • We saw quite a few yesterday evening  while sitting in the garden (Ulverscroft Road) (plus a bird of prey which hopefully wasn't after the swifts). The life of a swift is absolutely amazing, as is the distance they travel in a lifetime! I googled it last night!
