My mistake. I'll take some time considering your biblical status after my Shaolin master has finished Skyping.

Apparently The Forest Hill Tavern is in East Dulwich Tillie... don't get on the wrong side of them, they'll start sacrificing geese on the green. Wicker Man meets Village of the Dammed....

It's close proximity to our home too but there seems to only be a few people who are acting like the Brixton riots have descended on their doorsteps. Why do you have to make faceless complaints about issues that you feel so strongly about? Just get a group together and arrange a meeting with the pub and let them know your feelings. I'm sure their are some journos amongst you that can present a decent and level argument. I've realised that fatty aka Les Dawson aka fightfightersforever is clearly no fan of mine so I expect some abuse from her in some form but you know.. water off a ducks back. I just feel you are being a little reactionary and I think involving yourself more in your local pubs ventures would be a worthwhile thing to do. Get the power back in a positive way.

why not approach the pub itself?

There's also the massive and devastating impact on the environment through cocain production (pestisides, deforestation etc) as well as cocaine consumption by wealthy (white) europeans detroying entire nations; assisting in increased poverty, mass unemployment and pandemics. I'm getting old too.. but wiser.

sorry ratty.

I was being flippant admittedly maybe not the best way to be on this forum but this whole argumement has become a joke. Sorry if I offended people. I understand the problems with drugs, I was trying to be a bit ... i duuno, just trying to bring it back on a level before fatfighter got all Les Dawson (bitchy neighbour over the fence) on me again.

I'm with *Bob*. I thought the issue was noise and guns not drugs. Ectasy def shouldn't be a problem.. I say the more E the better.. loved up people, HAPPY and most often without a weight issue. Now crack.. well that's a diferrent story.. none of that thanks but you shouldn't rule drugs out comnpletely, it can make society a better place.

Why don't we put it to them? Also gig's only really go on until about 11.30 so that'll please fatty too.

No. It's not a good thing to have shares in this 'current ecconomic climate';-) I've never actually put that in a sentence before and I've used it twice so far today ha!!

Jesus lady! You really have taken it personally, get over yourself. I like the FHT and it's not as bad as your making out. There has been one incident, at least they know how to deal with situations like this and learn that there needs to be more security/ bouncers.. whatever it takes to make sure that it's a safe environment for cutomers, passers by and residents. A friend of mine lives near Goose Green (East Dulwuich not Forset Hill) and someone random person got shot in the leg in broad daylight! It's happening everywhere, gun crime knife crime CRIME! We live in an inner city ... it's practically Peckham (nothing wrong with Peckham I love it) which was quite a poor area with very little community support until recently (as was Forest Hill and your glorious East Dulwich). What do you expect? Don't start picking fights with people (i.e the FHT) for something that is a problem for society on the whole. Obvioulsy it's a concern but I think you're over-reacting. If you want to waste your time being hateful to people who disagree with your views then you are an incredibly sad person and I feel a bit sorry for you. The FHT is a pub and in the current ecconomic climate it has to continually try and accomodate for it's clients to keep it's head above water. If this means it branches out to become a music venue (which personally I would prefer) or a late night venue then it actually is within it's rights to do that. The managers should be aware of residents feelings and be security conscious but it shouldn't be blasted by crazy people with too much time on their hands. Have a meeting with them and tell them how you feel. That seems the mostly sensible thing to do. Why not go to one of their nights, you may enjoy it.

mmm.. dreamy! I love him. hhum.. sorry... I need to focus.. yeah it's a great little shop, we need to support them I rec.

It's a record shop. Go in it's wicked.

Mr Ruthb is working tonight but if I can get my hands on some baby Valium to knock the kids out (just so the neighbours don't conplain about the noise) I'll be there like a shot. Can AllforNun come too?

Also Sean (can I call you Sean?) however I'd expressed my views I would have been shot down (no pun intended) by the fatfighter and other passionate and expressive forum users, whom, may I add, sound as though they need a calorie controlled stiff drink. The FHT anyone? My round.

Oh I see SeanMacGabhann.... well... I've lived in Forest Hill.. oh sorry East Dulwich, for 35 years (do you need to know my age.. maybe I should PM you as a girl should never disclose her age), 2 streets away from the 'Tavern'. I sometimes use the pub to quaff a few 'Chardonnays'and myself and family also make use of the glorious pub garden at the back. I have also hired the space for a childrens party (oh dear I feel an anti-kid insult coming on.. you EDF do dislike children don't you). I'm also familiar with the EDF and regularly pop into your chat rooms, although I have never posted before, admittedly (again another insult perhaps?). Mr ruthb is a regular forum poster... he seems to love it! Is that enough information for you? Please do let me know if you need any more information... do I work? Am I a stay at home mum? Which college/ uni did I go to? perhaps I should post a small photograph of myself so you can stone me in the street.

What's rude about disagreeing with small minded attitudes?

How many times has someone been shot outside the Forst Hill Tarvern? Is it just the Forest Hill Tarvern that people get shot? I think not. I didn't realise that this forum was some kind of 'Club' that only elite members can use (sorry SimonM I'm not sure what 'Troll' means...is that a secret forum term.. please elaborate). I also think it's pretty vicious to wish harm on someone just because they do not agree with your forum posts.(fatfightersforever: Hope you're just passing through...)... that's pretty terrible and really illustrates the kind of person you are. Good luck in your fight and hope that by overreacting you find eternal happiness. All the best.

Oh please! How very petty. Calm down. it's a pub we're people go to enjoy themselves. Often through this type of social event noise is created. Sometimes there is violence because alcohol is consumed, alcohol is sold in pubs... and so on and so forth. Move out of the area and stop reading the Daily Mail.

Why not move out the area? It's a pub; a venue in Forest Hill what do you expect? Stop being so bloody precious.
