The Drum in North Cross Road will definitely be closing for good tomorrow night (Saturday 15th November) so if any of you want to pop in and have your last drinks in there tonight or tomorrow this will be your last chance.

For many of us regulars it will be the end of an era and I'd like to thank everyone involved with it - Dave, Sam, Coops, Marie, Brian, Annie, Nikki, Gaynor and anyone else who I may have forgotten, you know who you are) for all the good times I've had in there. Cheers!

Interestingly, 'vegetable' is not a botanical term, whereas 'fruit' is.


'Vegetable' is a culinary term that covers those plants that tend to be eaten with the starter or main course of a meal rather than desserts.


Hence a tomato is both a fruit and vegetable.


The US Supreme Court classed it as vegetable for tax purposes. More fule they.


Can someone pass me my pipe?

Sad I never made it for a final drink over the weekend, although to be honest, I'd said my goodbyes, and the best days of the place finished a while ago. Will be missed, but I think my wallet and my health will be in a better condition without it!


Back to house parties after hours!!!

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
