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 :(

      So everything postal wise is likely to take longer, pay more = get less.  This is the beginning of the slow and gradual death of Royal Mail.

      Foxes, and how to get rid

      By Sue · Posted

      They don't "crap everywhere". Do you call dogs (or their owners)  "pests" as well? I see more dog mess on the streets round here than anything produced by foxes.

      But in those distant days, there was no other means of communication for most people. There was semaphore, then morse code, then telegrams, then landline telephones (no idea of dates or what order they were invented or introduced).  Actual written letters might be carried around the country on horseback or in stage coaches. I'm so ancient I remember it was a big deal to get a birthday telegram on my birthday, and my parents didn't have a phone for ages. Now many things are done by email or other online methods, and most people (at least in this country) have mobiles. And if something needs a physical copy, it can usually be printed out at home (or at a print shop if you don't have a printer). So actual physical post is becoming less and less important for the vast majority of people. I'm pretty sure the idea of first and second class post was originally in terms of the time taken between posting and delivery (first class next day, second class longer) and nothing to do with the time of day things were delivered, but I stand to be corrected. If the changes mean we get things like new bank cards and random items we've ordered online quicker, then great, but otherwise I can't see it's going to make much difference to most people. Even things like hospital appointments are dealt with by apps and/or email these days.
