No, I disagree, I'm rather enjoying the entertainment of Dulwich Fox continuing to make a complete tit of himself.

I think 9 pages of 'nasty little thread' could be expected when calling a venue Pussey Liquour. I don't think anyone was or is trying to sabotage a business, in fact the thread has arguably had a positive impact.


Opinions changed, users now saying they might try Platform 1, brand recall improved.


PS JenF - Shop looked super busy this weekend. Great atmosphere out on the benches too. :)

Cheers Baggs - it was a great, fun weekend with a lovely bunch of folk joining us for a drink in the sun (and the rain). :)


Hopefully this thread WILL have a positive outcome for Platform 1, with the name change removing barriers for those who had concerns. Personally, I'm with Keith Richards - "We are not old men, we are not worried about petty morals" - but each to their own. It's great to see so many people have enjoyed such wonderful experiences when they've dined there.


My issue is with the small but vocal minority on here who seem to feel obliged to find fault with any new business attempting to make a go of it. (I imagine Dulwich Fox to be the Miss Havisham of shopkeepers, sitting in his flat, surrounded by the detritus of businesses past, wishing ill on all the young upstarts... Incidentally, Foxy, the term is nouvelle cuisine, not "nuvo".) I note, Baggs, you "give it two pop-up residencies", even after Platform 1's name change. Why the ongoing negativity?

Your imagination is Vivid.. Have you ever thought about writing a novel ?


.... and I do not live in a flat..


As for being a shop keeper ? I was one of the first when I opened a shop at 13 Upland Rd in 1993.

There were very few shops on North Cross / Uplands Rd back then.. I did not want to take on a 14 year lease

so I got out and the shop is now flats.. and I went back to Telecoms which is what I spent 40 years in.


So you see I gave it ago. I know the pitfalls. I know how difficult things can be. I've been there.

So to even suggest that I wish ill on any new 'upstarts' as you put it is-


Total ******ks with a Capital 'B'

The winky-face after that comment was supposed to convey a sense of jovial sarcasm - notoriously difficult on the interwebs.


There is a fine line between having an interesting (and sometime constructive) discussion about the future of the restaurant industry, pop-up culture, and its impact on our local area and wishing ill on a local business. I am keen on the former, but not the latter.


NB. THIS POST IS IN NO WAY CRITICISING DULWICHFOX

Constructive Criticism like suggesting a name change. (under the circumstances) or removing the blank out

window material or having more regular opening times is not wishing a business ill will.

No ill will was ever intended and any sensible person would know that..


No one else who suggested disapproval of the original name got any stick..


It's just the faceless Anti-Foxy brigade having a pop.


How many of them have actually been themselves.. ??

DF,


My response was to JenF, Not you. I have edited the post to make this clearer.


They just happened to be posted at the same time. The constructive criticism you mention is exactly the type of thing I meant - and feel is justified on a forum like this.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
