Well quite... Ridiculous name (can tell it's offensive without looking it up in a dictionary Loz!), nothing could induce me to go in there. It's like a return to the seventies or something.

Completely agree! I usually have a puerile sense of humour but don't think this is particularly funny or clever.

Wait and see.. They will be packed out.. queuing down the lane to get in...


No one has the gumption to boycott this place despite what they might write here..

.. and why should they. ?


I must admit at first the name went over my head and I never saw the innuendo till mentioned here.


I'm just a bit slow.. :)

Maybe they're labouring under the impression that East Dulwich is an internationally renowned stag night destination, on a par with Magaluf or Ayia Napa?


I don't mind a bit of smut either usually but this is just spectacularly misjudged. A shame, as I normally like trying new places and the pics look quite nice on Facebook, but I don't think I could bring myself to set foot in somewhere with a name so irredeemably naff.


I do hope it's a wind up...

Agreed, but I was laughing at the poster being offended at the strange definition they had to look up on the net and yet missing the completely obvious just-as-offensive one.

For years there has been the popular and critically acclaimed Meat Liquor in W1.

It's a gag. Hopefully they'll reveal their real name shortly having gotten some good controversial PR.....or


...its a dying throes of hipster movement play ala Death Row Dinners and Cereal Killers Cafe....In the totally wrong family orientated location. Even in Peckham it would jar.

Meat Liquor actually serves Meat and Liquor, so the name works.


I doubt Pussey is on the menu at Pussey Liquor.

This evening I saw Made in Chelsea's glamorous Victoria Baker Harber walking down the Lane. She looked like a nice young woman. And I certainly don't know, but I did wonder if she was going to PL's opening.


I tend to agree with the sentiments given about the name - somehow it doesn't fit with my impression of ED being a considerate community. I certainly don't want to hear children asking what PL means. I don't think ED is prude, just a bit cleverer.

Now I'm no parent (I hate children in pubs, or should I say parents in pubs who feel it's their written right to tell adults how to behave pubs around their children, but that's a different thread) and no feminist but I think it's crass. I do have visions of a parent walking down the street with a child whose just learnt to read calling out every sign they see and say Pussy Liquor and a random bystander starts giggling. How do you go about explaining that one? The fact they know they're being 'risky' makes it all the worse as they know what they are doing by using their name to get everyone talking about them. Which I've done. So I'll stop.

Referring back to Mrs Slocombe, and her pussy, this thread http://www.minki.net/aybsforum/showthread.php?t=4759 gives lots of examples of things I saw and heard as a child which have failed to scar me for life. It's a joke, however funny or not you find it.


When I watch Are You Being Served now it's much funnier!

    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
