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.

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


Blunderbuss or Laurie and Co, Pcg?

So why're you after such a place, PB?

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...

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
