SE22 vs SE15 night out

[ernesto]

have a septic chum coming across in the nextr few week and will blates go out for a freshing half of ale

should I do the now civilised SE22 ( since that awful cocktail bar went) or the more Edgy SE15 environs ?

[Alan Medic]

I hope it clears up before he arrives.

if he's from Brooklyn and has a beard the answer is obvious

If he/she/they happen to be visiting from the Home Counties ED it is, especially if they're thinking of moving to Clapham any time soon.

If it's a septic just take them to Leicester Sq. they'll be happy with that.

Septic from where? I'd take a 30-something Williamsburgite to Peckham and a 45-something Bostonian or Californian to ED but there's a big old range of experiences in a country that big. I once recommended a foodie colleague from Texas go outside central London to a really nice restaurant and she just couldn't deal with it. She had to turn round part way through travelling there (she was travelling on her own, meeting someone there).

Isn't this post just another wind-up?

[ernesto]

no

Start in SE22, end in SE15. There is a good route.

Who cares

^^^^^^ What Seabag said.

If it's the hipster choice your septic may just regale you with tales of how much better they do that sort of thing (unless from Louisville KY obvs.); give him fish and chips and a pint at the GE and tell him it's a quintessentially English boozer and has been 'like this for years' - he'll buy that.

You will blatantly go out for a freshing of ale?

How blatant are you going to be? What is a freshing of ale?

[ernesto]

its a dyslexic spelling of refreshing. the majority of septics dont do bar crawls as a rule , but this one has done in the past - took him to WC98 in Paris for the Scotland game , thence onto Amsterdam, so he knows the score.

Why not try the edgy pubs in SE5?

This. There are obvs several good routes that will wind you to Peckham lite (Bellenden) or peckham proper with a start in ED.

Oh god. I'm getting flashbacks of a 5 minute handshake / totes hardcore Burns recital with the security guard at Tesco Metro.

You sure it wasn't William Totes Topaz McGonagall ?

Could miss out Flying Pig (if you don't like empty bars), or Four Quarters (if you don't like arcade games or prison-cell themed toilets)

Oh god!

I got homesick after the Gowlett and turned back.

[MrBen]

Gowlett is something of a border post. And a fine one at that.

Jezza - Flying Pig was rammed on Saturday at 3pm and almost every table at the back taken with diners in mid Jan. Go figure.
