I had a question (admin deleted) about girls getting their hair cut in the barbers - ok it was a bit tongue in cheek, but the last time I was in the barbers, there was a girl having her hair cut before me.


No law against that of course, but a bit unusual, in fact I've never come across it before. Wasn't meant to be an insult. Maybe I'm just a bit straight laced.

I posted too and that was deleted. I don't understand why...this is the Lounge. My post referred to DJKQ flirting with two dogs (Woof and Artful)...again tongue in cheek. Those 3 posters' posts have been deleted too. I thought it was OK to go off topic in the lounge.:(

I agree with you Narnia and others...this is the lounge. The thread should be elsewhere, maybe even in the what's on section if is to be kept purely on topic. Or maybe someone should start a thread 'lesbianism in East Dulwich' where woof, artful, and others can post without fear of being deleted. Should I start complaining to admin everytime any of the guys post on my ladies football thread? (btw mac...look at what women get charged for a cut in a haridressers, compared to a barbers....you'll see the answer, and if I had short hair I'd do the same)


Back to on topic though...Strawbs when is the next Rye in the Rovers game as there has been nothing on the FB page for a month?

I used to go to a barbers to get my hair cut when it was short. I am not a lesbian. I also used to go to a particular hairdressers because they charged the same price for both men and women. I left them when they started charging more for the women.

I would also like to know if there is anywhere local to find gay friends. I've lived in East Dulwich for nearly a year now and I haven't found any gay bars/pubs here. I don't think the drinks at the Rye are organised by the pub itself, afaik it's by members of another forum who are otherwise not connected to the Rye. My partner and I did try it on a couple of occasions but it was a bit hit and miss - at the first one there were easily 60 people which was a bit overwhelming and the second time only two others turned up besides myself, my partner and another couple we know, so that was a bit weird. As the OPs sister will know Hackney has more than it's fair share, what's the deal!?

There aren't really any bars in ED. The nearest proper gay bar I would say is Southern Pride on Norwood High Street. If you don;t already know it, it has a pub at the front (where they do cabaret as well) and a club at the back with another bar and a good sized beer garden too. Clapham High Street has some bars too - more male than female though.


There used to be someone on here organising a pink drinks night every once in a while too but there hasn't been one of those for a while.

That's what I thought...or pubs or any gay/les venues at all, or even nights! How disappointing. Well if JD Wetherspoon doesn't take off maybe there will be a gap in the market for that venue! C'mon, amongst all those buggies on LL, I've seen a few crew cuts (please don't delete, *I am gay* after all and am too sozzled to work out my tongue from my cheek!)


So why are there no gay places to go then?

I like your post....but won't add to it as I'm in enough trouble as it is apparently lol!


I've lived in this area for twenty years and there's never been anything around here as far as I'm aware (apart from the monthly drinks at the Rye Hotel). We could organise something amongst ourselves though. Maybe restart the forum Pink Drinks. Can't remember who used to organise that (one of the guys I think), but it would just take picking a day, venue, and putting it in the 'what's on' section. It would be good to have something locally that's both les/gay in addition to the Rye Hotel thing once a month maybe.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
