Time was when you inherited or chose a pub to be your local. Had your own regular table or bar-stool. Might even keep your personal tankard or glass behind the bar. The barman was probably ready to serve your drink as soon as he saw you walk through the door. You stayed faithful to your pub.


These days in East Dulwich? Well, the youngsters seem to flit from pub to bar on a whim.

It's not just the young 'uns either MacRoban. I 'pub shag and run'.

I find walking up to the bar and nodding at a pump serves me well, I don't look like a half pint sort of chap, so that's all right. I occasionally take a chance and enquire as to whereabouts of that 'bastard Dave', on the basis that in some bars Dave will have been a bit of a bastard.

I find walking through the door, with an 'All right John', or 'Mickey' or 'Toby' or 'Indiana' depending on the bar serves me well.

Every barmaid in ED is either 'Darling' or 'Love' or 'Sweetheart' or 'Babe' or 'Lynne'.

It's served me well enough for a number of years.

In my teens I was sitting in one of the more lively hostelries and put my arm around my girlfriends shoulder, only to be shouted at from the butch bull-dyke behind the bar to "sit properly"

I coloured, stood up and poured the remains of my drink on the floor, stomped out never to return.

Bone3Yard, shouldn't that have been I Don't Like Mondays?

Let's not go dragging Bob Dylan into these things against his will.

Just 'cause he just happened to be there, that's all.

So did they have rules about public displays of affection in pubs back in the olden days? What position did they take on blowjobs in the toilets?

Yes it was Jah but I did it only the once and felt it was good to release my anger, tension, and embarassment.

No HB, the Davina I dallied with was much later in my love life, she met an American and went to Arizona to live.

and the Lady I was with on that fateful night, 'Glenys' (my first meaningful relationship) is happily married and lives in Derbyshire.

We are still good friends.

    • It was normal cyclists, in rush hour traffic, in the dark, in the rain. Just really want people to realise it’s that time of year even more careful and to get kitted out.
    • The other consideration is that users of Lime bikes and similar, plus younger pedal cyclists, probably don't view themselves as 'cyclists' as such and so don't get kitted out or even consider that they need to. I also agree that earlier nights are another factor for the casual or hire bike user more used to cycling in the summer. I don't think I have ever seen a hire bike or scooter user wearing a helmet or reflective gear- presumably that is because the bike is just viewed as a transport tool for short term use and users do not want to be encumbered by any of the safety gear? Before anyone jumps on me for anecdotal evidence and speculation, this is just what I have seen round here, there may be hordes of similar users elsewhere that are kitted out.
    • Well apolitical if that is an OK word for you.  Sorry if my choice of words was incorrect.  But on my original point if it wasn't for the Telegraph dragging this up, and yes they do have an agenda, an no they are not apolitical/impartial whatever, we;d be none the wiser. But as it made no difference to Trump's election campaign that why would he have a case in the American courts? Irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the programme
    • If she took a bus, has she tried contacting the bus company? Long shot, but you never know!
