Why is that then Sue.

Over the years I've been a regular in the Plough where I worked.

A regular in the old Uplands , the Palmy. The Foresters / Bishop

And now the EDT.

I tend to stick with one pub and move on from time to time when things change.

Like partners. Never felt the need for more than one at a time.

And a few dining. 6-8

So I I have tried. Friendly barman . Just the one.

Because if we were all like you, no new place would ever have any customers :)

Nonesense.. They will have plenty of customers..

People who live nearer. People who the new facilities suits them. I.E. Sports / Food/ Garden / childrens area.

Passing trade.


It is not compulsary to visit every new Bar, Pub, Cafe, Restaurant, Shop.

Why do people insist we all need to support ALL local businesses. ? Thats not practical.


I do not have the resourses to constantly Eat and Drink out in ED or indeed anywhere else for that matter.

I do my fair share of Eating and Drinking out.

I was in Bristol the weekend before last and couldn't believe how cheap drinks were compared to London.

I seldom drink more than 2 pints. Sometimes just the one.

I gave up drinking myself into a coma many years ago.

There are many examples in several threads where people have said they don't use / wouldn't use a place.


The Pussey Liquor thread is a good example. With some prominent users expressing such a view.


I have not seen any such judgement as above passed to those people.

You just cannot drop the knock Foxy thing can you. ?


Its tiresome..

I read Sue's response as trying to be friendly (the smiley emoticon gave me this impression) and I didn't read it as an attack of you Foxy, but more as a comment that it is good to have a mix of people. Those who are loyal to their locals and those that try the new openings, move about, or like different things on different days.


Local businesses need both of these types of people to grow, thrive and hopefully survive.


It's a shame you feel like it was an attack on you (I understand why you might, I've seen plenty of unwaranted negativity towards you on the Forum) but in this case I do think you have overblown the comment to feel unfairly judged.


Sue, If I am misrepresenting your intentions then I am happy to stand corrected. Dulwich Fox, keep your head high and do what you do, drink where you want, and eat where you want. Try not to read everything as a 'knock' most of us appreciate your input.

It was indeed intended to be a light-hearted comment, however I do sometimes find the Fox's life view as posted on here and as exemplified by that particular post wears me down :(



Sorry Fox.

With Pussey Liquor people are saying it's a childish and insulting name, and as such they won't be going there.


You're not saying anything like that, you are saying you like other pubs so probably won't bother going the extra distance to the cherry tree (or whatever it will be called).


They are very different things. There are loads of places I will probably never go to simply because I can't be bothered or am not interested. As such, I don't post on threads about them.


You just cannot drop the victim complex thing can you. ?


It's tiresome.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      All the more reason to support the BBC.  The last thing we want is a news service controlled by the likes.

      Ideas for week night activities for 14 year old boys

      By beansprout · Posted

      I am genuinely curious… what is this obsession with keeping children active with things to do after school. From what I know, most  CV kids to rugby or football of a weekend but do they actually need activities during the week after school? What about going home, relaxing before homework and I don’t know, reading a book, drawing, Lego, constructing a car/plane.. even making some cookies…

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
