Last night four of us had a last orders pint at the Bishop pub in Lordship Lane. When we were finishing our drinks the 'Barsteward' drying glasses sought to deny any of us use of the bogs. Is this legal after taking our money? Surely was he was taking the piss?


The time before I went there a different barman overcharged me by ?105 on my card, luckily I got it back in the end, no thanks to the mardy bar manageress on duty that night. Not going back there in a hurry...

Were the toilets being cleaned? I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to use them otherwise? Seems a bit strange to me, and I have to say, I'd not be happy having to head home at that time of night (presuming it was late if after last orders?) with a full bladder!

Nope, they weren't being cleaned, on my way there the baldy barman said in an abrupt manner "Where do you think you're going?", I said I was going to the toilet, he followed this up with "Don't spend too long in there", what a charmer


The rest of our group got similar grief later on, I think the boss needs to organise some customer service workshops for his staff. It's a shame as the ale is pretty good in there and they have a decent range of drinks.

Not so much typical of the forum but typical of some sort of people. Specifically the sort of person who gets arsey with a barman and posts anonymously for the first time on a forum having a whinge


Neither the Bishop nor the forum should worry too much...

I've always said it's not my bag, but have always found staff perfectly nice. One real gripe, and this is aimed at all bars, not just the Bishop, is when they serve you a drink and a minute later you have a doorman standing over you telling you to drink up and leave. Don't serve a drink unless the customer is going to get 20 minutes to drink it in peace!

The whole place is a toilet they've got a right cheek.


Full of nutters! The Staff are the biggest nutters in the place so it does not surprise me what happened one bit.


They're doing you a favour serving you a drink.


Steer WELL clear there are so many other good drinking spots well not the EDT.

I don?t like the Bishop much but I always seem to end up in there. It?s god/karma/the universe or whatever you want to call her playing bastard silly buggers with me all the time.


But luckily, if you aren?t a masochistic idiot like me, ED is full of far superior, cheaper and friendlier places to drink.

No way though......


I'm not sure that many of these places should licensed by Southwark.


East Dulwich is beginning to attract aggressive drunken revellers who would otherwise be going to areas more suited to large numbers of drunken louts.


Like the Old Kent road.


East Dulwich is turning into a mini Croydon town centre next there?ll be hen and stag parties roaming up and down lordship lane. Every other shop entrance will be splattered with vomit, luckily most residents have children and are will be quite used to the stench.


Hey that?s what we?re all about anyhow; it?s the up and coming area we have all decided we want to live in FAB we?re so Lucky!

I say I does do live in ED.


In mi mansion with such lovely surroundings who would want to live anywhere else except possibly I?d consider monaco the cayman islands boston ummmm

chelsea fulham chiswick so many other places just not enough money, so I be stuck in ED but I do have a love hate relationship love the place but mostly hate the people. But that?s true of almost all cities the people are rude aggressive like caged angry animals.


We live like animals and the animals live free to like kings on organic farms only thing is we end up eating the poor things.


Guess it?s just the nature of City life.


That?s it I?m off to live on a Farm?????????????.. n get mi nose in a trough.

Bit like the local politicians, only not just for the weekend. Only joking.

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
