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.

      Roof replacement costs

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By vladi · Posted

      It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Sue · Posted

      I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.

      Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
