And before that, The New Hamlet Inn. Only went there a handful of times before it became The Vale. For a period around 2003/04 it was a regular Friday/Saturday night venue for a bunch of us (start at The CPT then head down there before grabbing a wrap roll from Yilmaz then often heading back to The CPT (upstairs).


But despite putting ?100+ behind their bar EVERY time I went in there (God, to have that money to spend now...), never doing any drugs in there (honstly), and never getting in any scraps, the owner still looked at me like I was something unpleasant he'd trodden in. Eventually you just think maybe your money would be better spent elsewhere.


Plus the music changed from fun stuff to dance to (Hey Ya) to stuff I wasn't remotely in to, and the crowds dwindled, and other places got later licenses so it wasn't the only local option after 11pm.

No it's not, at all. a branded chain with all the same named pubs, menus, etc and aimed at delivering the same experience to people who want the security of a brand they know is very different to a pubco that owns a bunch of different pubs with different names (although some pub cos standardise some of the offering).

Legend has it that the robbers celebrated their success with a drink in East Dulwich at The Cherry Tree pub.


I believe this to be just an urban myth.

Let's hope it changes from The Not Very Cheery Tree to The Cheery Tree :))


Do the Adventure Bar people also own this Australian (?) chain then, or is that a franchise?

So does anybody have some actual link to a written source which will tell us without a doubt who has bought The Cherry Tree?


I'm beginning to think the Not Very Cheery owners are going to stay there after all! :)) and :(

      Request for bells on cat collars near Crebor Street

      By Kritina · Posted

      Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Sue · Posted

      Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
