People are tending not to respond the thread but just turn up. The start of the drinks proper will be 8ish onwards, but people can gather earlier if they wish to do so as its a Saturday, it might be sunny and the Herne has a nice garden.

Im with you on this.. We will probably get down there for say 2- 3 but then wont be hanging around for the night time do.. Of course I need to confirm this with Jaws but I know she will want either to do the day or the night but prob not both x

Err no it's not.


Anyway yes the drinks are a week on Saturday. I have asked the Herne to reserve the conservatory (incase it's raining) but they won't keep it reserved all day as they get very busy, and we can't say how many forumites will turn up. So it will probably be reserved from 7pm but I will let you know. During the day we will have to find space, hopefully outside.

As someone who's never been to one of these things before, how do you all know who the other people are? Do you wear badges with your usernames on? Or do you just go up to random strangers in the pub and announce, "I'm PinkyB, who are you?" I can imagine if you picked the wrong person that might not go down too well.


Oh, and I really wish it wasn't the Herne Tavern. Most expensive pub food in the world and no cider on tap, so a hugely expensive evening out for me. ?4.50 for one of those stupid massive bottles of organic cider, which is my only option apart from soft drinks as a non- beer drinker. ?4.50! They're having a laugh, aren't they?

Have confirmed with Jaws we will be attending the day part so will probably get there between 2 - 3.. x


PinkyB - it is a bit hard on your first one, I just had to walk up to a random group of strangers as there are no badges or anything, depending on what time you are going to be there you might be able to get a number off someone (I wont be there for the night time bit).

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
