I apologise for the brawl I caused in The Castle last night. I just see red when they try to sell me a bad pint, but I really should control my temper. I feel much better for the night in the cells in Peckham nick. I promise to behave myself tonight. I think it was drinking all day for St Patricks day, I really should try to pace myself.
OK... my comments about their customers, and getting priced out of the area were a bit over the top in retrospect! But I am starting to get quite cheesed off with that place. There's still broken glass outside, you'd hope that the owners would have the common sense - and respect for the community - to clean it up.

They won't get priced out cos they're all on housing benefits anyway

How did East Dulwich Mum manage to get banged up in Peckham nick (in the sense or incarcerated, not impregnated!) I have been trying to get in there for months with no success. I pay my taxes, you know! This is clearly sexism in favour of female offenders!
I must admit, a fight outside a public house isnt exactly the biggest tabloid shocker in the world... but I it's a little too common for some of the newcomers to the area... perhaps we should put caged fencing around working class establishments so that it doesn't offend the oxbridge crew? lol
True, it is a "working class" pub, and it's all part of the risk you take by living near a grotty hole like The Castle. But I've lived in rougher neighbourhoods than this, which much nastier pubs. What I do find shocking is that they don't even sweep the broken glass from the pavement, in what is still a family area after all.

    • But they were going to cut down a tree that had no notice on it ? Either way thank goodness people intervened. My total lack of confidence in Southwark tree dept is justified it would seem… 
    • Hopefully the confusion won’t lead to injury. 
    • To clarify a few points- I didn't just happen to be passing, I saw the workmen setting up equipment worryingly close to the tree from my front window, so put my shoes on and headed over there as quickly as possible just in case. Unfortunately they had already lopped a few branches off in the two minutes it took me to get there. Although I didn't see them attach a notice, the wording on the notice pictured above has the same terminology that they used with me - fungal brackets - so presumably it was them. I have no idea who removed the sign, or why. Also worth mentioning that they were third party contractors, carrying out work orders from the council. I'm a bit confused by the 'mistaken tree' comments, as Councillor Renata Hamvas posted on a Facebook thread that she had raised the issue with the relevant council officers, and that the response she received is that the tree does have a fungal infection. So there seems to be conflicting info there, and I'm concerned that the tree is still in danger.
    • To be fair, do we know who put the notice on the wrong tree? The people wielding chainsaws almost certainly won't be the experts  who identify  the problems with the trees? They just go along and hack down what they're told to hack down? I might be wrong, but whilst actual tree surgery needs expertise, I wouldn't have thought hacking down a whole tree did? Apart from knowing how to use a chainsaw, obviously.
