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!!

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!

      Albrighton Community Fridge, Dog Kennel Hill

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
