Am just lovin' this thread... I have burst out about 20 times reading through it..


I am well and truly honoured that my initial 'youth-club-on-a-saturday-night' jibe had a part to play in the Valegate scandal!


Apologies to the Bishop and the EDT though, the comment I made about walking around view the competition must have hit a nerve. Oooops.

Keep up Snorky. Your education is sadly lacking.

There is no excuse for not having seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off, unless -


No, there's just no excuse.


I did a film degree and denied it for years, but now I'm out and proud - Ferris totally pisses on the collected works of Ingmar Bergman. Does "Smiles On A Summer Night" have Charlie Sheen in it? No it does not! Score one to Ferris!

How about "disempowered and marginalised"?

Why is it so expensive in the Bishop? I went in the Bishop last week and ordered a Coke and their equivalent of a JD & Coke and I think it came to ?5.90!


I think a Coke costs ?1.50 in the EDT, and a pint of Lager ?3.50 - but sure about JD & Coke?


What are the equivalent prices in other East Dulwich pubs such as the the Bishop, CPT, Magnolia & Vale?

I was having a drink with my friends Brian and Glyn in The Vale last night. I took ?10 out of the whip and bought a large lager shandy, a rum and coke, and a pint of brilliantly kept bitter. When I returned ?4-85 to the whip we all agreed The Vale is:


DE best value in ED


Roll-on next Tuesday's post-Badminton drinks I say.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
