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 do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
