but Fox those are specific example of very specialist beers, they are most definitely not your average beer prices in esat dulwich (although I do think prices are generally high but they are all over London).


I have seen some really expensive beers, packaged in boxes like champagne, that can fetch up waaaaaay more than twelve quid a bottle. They are in a different league to the range you get in a supermarket or bog standard off licence or pub. Not saying that most people (including myself) can afford them, but they are there. Sometimes people like to have the choice of something that is normally out of their budget, as a treat, y'know.

All Foxy needs to do is compose a story based on the very subject of the thread.


My little version.. with a hint of humour..


Staferjack pipes up.. and WW III breakes out.


Otta asked ?8 for a bottle of beer??? Where?


I just replied...


People need to chill. Have some fun. Stop taking everything here (EDF) so literally.


Get out, talk to people. No one is going to bite.


Foxy is going to lay down in a dark room.

It's a 750ml bottle of a high end beer. Compare that to a 12.50 bottle of wine.


Your average pint of stella kind of drinker is not going to be buying that.


But I didn't miss your point earlier, I acknowledged it. but the way you worded this


"Like when people are happy to pay ?12.00

for a Burger or ?8.00 for a bottle of beer and

then go on about not being able to buy a

property in the area."


Just came over as you saying if they didn't soend so much on these luxuries they'd be able to afford a house. My bad, just lost in translation.

Do they? I found it amusing.


BTW Foxy, I saw the link to your website elsewhere and was surprised you mentioned Dulwich Wood. Where is that? Nice website.

Thanks Alan...


Yes.. It was meant to be amusing....


Website is under constant re-construction.

Shops and businesses have a tendency to Pop-Up and close down.


Not sure what is happening with BoHo. Has it closed down. ?


Dulwich Wood. ? If you go up to the Grove Tavern (Closed) opposite is a gate where Cox's Walk starts.

Walk up Cox's walk which gets steeper as you approach the top. There you will find Dulwich Wood.


You can go left over the bridge which crosses a redundant railway line. (track long removed)

If you follow the path there is a strange little stone folly (not sure what it was.)


Walk on a bit further you will come across a Tunnel. The tunnel is closed off and is home to

a colony of Bats.

The other end of the tunnel can be seen on Crystal Palace Parade where the old

Crystal Palace Station was.


There is an exit on to Crescent Wood Rd.


If you had gone right on entering the wood you would follow the path to the right and entering

a small opening (difficult to find at certain times of the year) carry on past a small pond..

on and on .. eventually you will come to an opening where 5 paths converge.

The one to the right will take you to College Rd. Go straight across for a further 300 mtres.

you will exit the wood onto a steep path.

At the bottom is Sydenham Hill Station. At the top you will be rewarded with a nice pint at the Dulwich WoodHouse.


Enjoy

That photo has brang some memory's back! I used to go school around that area (a long time ago) the tunnel is very long as you go in you cant see the other end until you go in a fair bit and it is so dark you cant see anything, as kids we used to walk through that tunnel, climb over that exact gate that's in the picture and jump down its quite high and the first time I jumped down was the first time I was ever winded! Could not breath for a very long time (proberly 30 seconds!) What pictures can do, cheers
a few years back, a Securicor van was nicked full of dosh. The thieves drove it down into Sydenham woods via the gate at the back of the modern houses and hid it inside the tunnel where signals from it's tracker device couldn't be detected while they blew the safe open.

    • Well yes.  But only up to a point eu countries have had to spend a LOT of money to accommodate English madness  - and has had to deal with years of incoherent positioning.  It has destabilised the EU as a group - or has at the very least distracted it and consumed bandwidth  which is why Putin was so pro-Brexit. Which enabled other subsequent events - it’s hard to imagine the world as it is now without Brexit.  A stronger EU.  Uk not a mess and in its own after multiple elections and way more prime ministers than 9 years could possibly allow   a stronger united front
