I got asked to remove my hat (wool beenie thing where you can still see your entire face) by the bouncer the other day going into the Bishop on a freezing night. To add insult to injury they point blank refused to put the rear heaters on despite it being bloody cold outside and them having an excellent heater setup. What's the point having it???? The place was rammed, its not like you weren't making enough money to keep those who'd rather sit outside to drink and smoke warm - if anything we're likely to stay longer and drink more. *** RAGE ***

Mr Simon what are "twonks"? And who are you to say (from a cool point of view) what people should or shouldn?t wear. I agree with Mr Huguenot about the importance of people taking responsibility.


The bar does have the right to ban hoods for security reasons. Mr Simon I think baseball caps/hoods etc look silly too but you do not have the right to ?deal? with it. Whay do you care so much? Are you really cool? If so post a picture and we can all vote.


Mr Hillside why was your pal wearing a hood up? Are you in your twenties? Do you genuinely like hiphop? Also I think you should post a picture. You and your pal may actually look like utter knobs and its better to hear it now from EDF friends than from your kids when they are older.


Also ?two fairly respectable looking Dads? were your children with you? If not why mention that you were dads. Did you tell the barman? Did he care?


Mr seanmlow you are correct it is awful!

Meh. Who cares about people?s fashion sense that?s up to them? Just have some self respect and proper manners and don?t wear hats indoors.


And while you?re at it stop pushing in front of ladies to get on the bus, learn how to use the contents of your toolbox and for God?s sake stop wearing pink!

Oh come on just how uncool would that be?! trust me the world is not yet ready...

Discussion on use of the term pikey

Blimey. Objecting to him having it up I can understand but just wearing a hoodie. A bit above themselves methinks.


Thanks though hillside. I now know for the next time people insist that we go to that stupid bar, I will just wear a hoodie without a t-shirt under it. I will then be refused entry and we can go somewhere decent.

If (i) they made great cocktails or (ii) it had atmosphere then it would have a purpose. The barman admitted to me that they "don't proclaim to make the best cocktails in London" but rather want to create "a fun place with fun drinks and fun tunes". Think Tenerife Uncovered. But in East Dulwich.

There's definitely a market for a 'clubby bar' around here though, not to my taste really but if you're not into 'proper boozers' then I guess it serves a purpose.


I've cycled past another Adventure Bar in somewhere like Battersea, I guess it's a small chain.

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
