Good thing we're not all like you then, Foxy, eh?! :))

Why is that then Sue.

Over the years I've been a regular in the Plough where I worked.

A regular in the old Uplands , the Palmy. The Foresters / Bishop

And now the EDT.

I tend to stick with one pub and move on from time to time when things change.

Like partners. Never felt the need for more than one at a time.

Because if we were all like you, no new place would ever have any customers :)

Nonesense.. They will have plenty of customers..

People who live nearer. People who the new facilities suits them. I.E. Sports / Food/ Garden / childrens area.

Passing trade.


It is not compulsary to visit every new Bar, Pub, Cafe, Restaurant, Shop.

Why do people insist we all need to support ALL local businesses. ? Thats not practical.


I do not have the resourses to constantly Eat and Drink out in ED or indeed anywhere else for that matter.

I do my fair share of Eating and Drinking out.

I was in Bristol the weekend before last and couldn't believe how cheap drinks were compared to London.

I seldom drink more than 2 pints. Sometimes just the one.

I gave up drinking myself into a coma many years ago.

There are many examples in several threads where people have said they don't use / wouldn't use a place.


The Pussey Liquor thread is a good example. With some prominent users expressing such a view.


I have not seen any such judgement as above passed to those people.

You just cannot drop the knock Foxy thing can you. ?


Its tiresome..

I read Sue's response as trying to be friendly (the smiley emoticon gave me this impression) and I didn't read it as an attack of you Foxy, but more as a comment that it is good to have a mix of people. Those who are loyal to their locals and those that try the new openings, move about, or like different things on different days.


Local businesses need both of these types of people to grow, thrive and hopefully survive.


It's a shame you feel like it was an attack on you (I understand why you might, I've seen plenty of unwaranted negativity towards you on the Forum) but in this case I do think you have overblown the comment to feel unfairly judged.


Sue, If I am misrepresenting your intentions then I am happy to stand corrected. Dulwich Fox, keep your head high and do what you do, drink where you want, and eat where you want. Try not to read everything as a 'knock' most of us appreciate your input.

It was indeed intended to be a light-hearted comment, however I do sometimes find the Fox's life view as posted on here and as exemplified by that particular post wears me down :(



Sorry Fox.

With Pussey Liquor people are saying it's a childish and insulting name, and as such they won't be going there.


You're not saying anything like that, you are saying you like other pubs so probably won't bother going the extra distance to the cherry tree (or whatever it will be called).


They are very different things. There are loads of places I will probably never go to simply because I can't be bothered or am not interested. As such, I don't post on threads about them.


You just cannot drop the victim complex thing can you. ?


It's tiresome.

"I seldom drink more than 2 pints. Sometimes just the one"


I didn't think you went to pub quiz nights Foxy?

    • They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.   
    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
