I got a text from an anonymous number.

I believe it may be from someone that used to be on EDF but no longer is.

Not sure how the got my number.


No idea why they thought I would be that interested. ?

We really DON'T need a sports bar. Walkabouts are awful.

I think tradesman has it backwards, people were desperate to like the cherry tree, and the promise of 'new management' meant people flocked there and were cautiously optimistic that a new leaf had been turned.


But the age old problems resurfaced.


If this is true then i reckon whatever comes has the potential to be a massiv success as its a fantastic building and perfect location.


Walkabouts are admittedly a bit meh (to resurrect a dead meme) just a bit clinical and soulless, but I've had some great times in them watching the rugby with kiwi mates.

Damn, was hoping for a Wetherspoons!


And I agree with El Pibe, people had high hopes for The Cherry Tree at one point, and those hopes lasted just a few months during which the food was excellent, the range of drinks was excellent and the chef and managers were lovely. And more and more people were sussing this out and going to eat/drink there.


Then the usual happened and it was back to its normal dismal empty self.


Any "abuse" (that's a bit of an exaggeration) subsequently directed towards the people responsible for the usual happening was based on facts and well deserved in view of their actions, in my opinion.


Anyway good luck to whatever replaces The Cherry Tree, it surely can't be worse than its most recent incarnations.

But a Wetherspoons breakfast is a joy to behold. And their beer festivals (?2.75 a pint) are worth a trip or two. As mentioned, I've hardly ever been into the Cherry Tree, so I'm not losing something I never had.


And Antic is a chain of 37 pubs (including EDT, The Tiger, The Sun of Camberwell, The Effra Social, Catford Constitutional, Westow House, Sylvan Post etc), while thw Walkabout has 32. So being a chain is not necessarily a mark of evil.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
