It's a fair point, and probably loses them some custom, and I think the staff would be first to admit it. However, it's out of their control... They do lots of nice shots though ;-) Oh, and Fear, if I'm there, there's a fair chance you'll be with me, lets be honest now... :))

As soon as I see a giant screen in a pub I make a run for it.

Since when did 'proper pubs' start having sport on?! I blame America (for everything)

Please - no anti-American rants. Whilst it's completely easy to fall into that trap with the current administration and well publicised surveys about... oooh, anything - there is no denying how much good there is also


To travel there and meet some of the most warm-hearted and intelligent people, and see some of the most amazing scenes (urban and rural) is to open ones mind. If they relied on media reports of Britain (which I'm sure some do) then they would think of us as in equally stereotypical terms


But this administration does stink the place up

Thats got more to do with Sky and the rise of Lad/Ladette culture than the United States though.

On the subject of "nights out in ED" bars - one of the other reasons I love this place is that the bars, by and large, avoid many of my bugbears - specifically - fruit machines are noteable by their absence


Also those dodgy boards outside that pretend to be chalk boards but all have the same pre-printed font


Corporate promotions are also largely unnoticed (by me anyway)

I love watching the footy in the pub. It doesn't make it like a sports bar, people go there specifically for a match, the match is shown, the match ends, and the screen disappears...


Nothing like a sports bar with 15 screens showing some dodgy motor race from Australia, Kabadi from India, Dodgeball from America, and every other sport you'd never dream of watching....... That said, the film Dodgeball is fab ;-)

I do apologise Mark for my over familiar behaviour. Treated you like a long lost friend but from my side of my head, it seemed fine at the time. As I say Mojitos do make you a tad weird. Gorgeous girlfriend you have there by the way, the guys in my company were like the exorcist (heads spinning round to get another glimpse) saying who was that, corr, and all that!!

I had intended to post my thanks yesterday but I just wasn't up to a bright screen and the noise of the keyboard. Now I'm back in the office..


Had a great night out in East Dulwich and the north London pair were delighted to be forced of the train at Peckham Rye where they witnessed a full blown Peckham Rye punch up - bicycle chains an' all! Marvellous!

Glad you had a good night out - it's funny how some people from oop North are so surprised to have a good time when they come down here isn't it?


But Saturday nights out are easy - it's the Sunday nights out you have to watch out for. Ouch..... My head hurts today

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
