Help...


Ok, i need the combined experience and discerning tastes of the whole East Dulwich forum team to help me out with this one;


Can somebody help me find a traditional south london pub?


Doesn't have to be Dulwich based, (which could be rather tricky these days!)


No re-furbed gastro pubs allowed.


Must be as i described. Needs 'character', old style architecture, good range of beverages, and, well that boozer 'x-factor' that seems to be disappearing.


The place i'm after doesn't have to be chocolate box pretty, or tourist friendly, it could even be described as 'manky' in the right light.


It just needs to be real.


(Oh, and i'll happily say why i'm after such a place if i get enough help with this!)


Looking forward to your suggestions.

That's pretty helpful, thanks for your thoughts...

Remember the resident weekend Group thru' the 1970's/Early 1980's at The Beckett?


Blunderbuss or Laurie and Co, Pcg?

My god red devil, I was invited to a 30th birthday party there 3 years ago . I went along thinking 'give people a chance' What a Chav Hole! Most uncomfortable. As soon as i walked in the women tried to 'stare me out' ready for a fight . Have to add , i sacked the 'friend' after that

It's definitely 'a rites of passage' type establishment Daizie, the last time I went there was the night of the Soho nail bomb, I was with some workmates on a stag do at Wimbledon dogs, afterwards we planned to go up to Soho, but because of the bomb we decided not to, and I suggested the Queen Anne as an alternative, I'm still having therapy for the 'mother and daughter' act I witnessed that night...

      Park in the street and walk in.. Notices are not that small and certainly readable from car, but guess depends where abouts you are on the site!!!

      Research - Seeking PHSE leads/Heads of Years (secondary school)

      By Emss · Posted

      I’m currently conducting exploratory research into menstrual health education in UK secondary schools and would really value the insight of PSHE leads, Heads of Year, or pastoral staff.    The research aims to understand:   How the menstrual cycle is currently taught within the RSHE framework Where schools feel confident — and where there may be gaps Whether students are taught and  asking questions around the full menstrual cycle, symptoms, wellbeing and conditions such as PMS/PMDD or endometriosis How schools support students in feeling empowered to understand their bodies and seek help appropriately Whether education around nutrition, lifestyle, and menstrual wellbeing is currently addressed   The long-term goal is to explore whether there is a need for additional, age-appropriate, medically informed support on the menstrual cycle.  I’m not selling a programme and there is no obligation beyond a 30 minute informal chat online (Unpaid). All conversations will be confidential and used only to inform the research. If you work in a UK secondary school and would be willing to share your perspective, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you. Please comment below or email me [email protected] Thank you for the vital work you do. Best wishes, Emma

      Nice topic and nice song!  1) Definitely top of Canonbie, looking North. 2) What used to be Francesca Cabrini school at the top of FHR. 3) Honor Oak playground, next to Camberwell New cemetery.
