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!

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
