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!

    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
