I do have to say that my lodger a few years ago was drinking in the Uplands, and witnessed two women were quarrelling over a man. Each poured their pint into the other woman's handbag! I have to say I have never been tempted to go in there since hearing the tale.
no way moos, im not a snob, hehe, a bit of a chav meself infact! . just commenting on what i found in the pub on three occasions. It is no different from saying most of the people who drink in the bishop during the day are pretentious and up their own backsides, either end of the same spectrum. where do unaffected people drink in Dulwich?
yes, your right Brendan, the EDT has more of a mix of people, not very exciting in there though is it...it always amuses me the way the east dulwich folk talk in such 'earnest' to each other on a friday night, no one seems to be having fun, apart from the small crowd of people round the snooker/pool table..

EDT? I was referring to under the tree with a few cans of Diamond White.


If however you require a slightly more refined atmosphere there are loads of other pubs. The CPT is good as are the Gowlett, Plough and the Mag.


But you know pubs are like marshmallows, white and pink and fluffy but gooey when you cook them.


Or is that bunnies? I can never remember.

xxxxxxx


The Uplands used to be a very rough pub some years ago, and there were frequently fights etc - it isn't any more.


I find the people in there very friendly, staff and punters, I just wouldn't go there again to eat.


Daizie, I think referring to people as "chavs" is unpleasant and says more about you than about them, just my opinion.

I agree, very entertaining!! Pouring drinks in to handbags does save smudged makeup!! sensible girls - obviously they were not THAT bothered about the bloke!!

Do you know that Di Barker (Real Name Tracey Wilkinson) from Badgirls is a barmaid in the Uplands, my wife spotted her so I asked her are you blah blah from blah blah when I went to the bar. she said she was, she is really nice and didn't mind me asking her about her acting.

when I first moved here (about 8 years ago) - the dry cleaners on Lordship Lane (near the EDT) used to have signed photos of Jim Fenner and Di Barker behind the counter! Also I saw Yvonne Atkins walk past Caffe Nero the other week!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
