[i have to be careful, as I have had a post deleted and a warning given on this thread already- this is a general point & ( Mr Admin ) not directed at any particular business]



MY point is obvious - Pubs are not of much benefit to the community these days - the days of a husband & wife team in a local corner pub providing a Eastenders kind of meeting place are long gone. the Victorians knew the benefit of having this type of establishment on most streets and incorporated them into their gand plans


Opportunistic bar developments like we see on LL of late posess no such nobility - they are a blunt instrument to make as much money as possible & have a detrimental effect on the local area - those Saturday night victims from Penge add nothing to the ambience of LL and make the resident lives althogther poorer


Downsides far far outweight the upside of having ( another ) bar on the lane.


If you consider this objectively & take emotion & right wing free marketry rubbish out of it - Who would truly welcome the opening of a business that is likely to destroy the relative tranquility of locals lives?


I am sure various offended business owners will send in tbheir complaints to admin on and , some may even have to gall to post ( unlikely ) but IMO, whatever case they put is indefensable


so there

"My pram won't fit through the door."


EH, are you joking?


"It's too noisy. It's not noisy enough."


I'd rather silence than a stinking, screaming pram by my side whilst I'm trying to enjoy my meal or drink. Nobody should have to put up with that.

Stinking Screaming Pram. Thanks TheXWinglessXBird., the perfect name for my up-coming punk/prog project.

Keep 'em coming. That's the album title.

"I doubt there would be too many prams in bars on LL in the evening as the venues probably don't have a licence for that beyond 7 or 8pm, do they?"


No, I suppose not. Actually, I had caf? Nero in mind & brought up a bad experience. I haven't had the time to check out this new bar. Anyway...


Is it Boho or Hobo?

Oi XWinglesXBird stop being so dithery, front up with some proper 'tude girlfriend.

How else will I source names for my future musical projects?

That may or may not exist.

Get with the scene, as we Bohos insist on having it.

Elephant/sparrow, both animals. Both fine.

Unless the elephant decides to take a 'piggy-back' of the sparrow.

Elephants being the dopiest lumbering schmucks of the animal world, they'd likely as not do it, the gormless f*ckbuckets that they not only look, but probably are.

Anyway, it'll all end up in a smashed sparrow and a slightly confused looking elephant.

More confused looking than they usually are. They are dozy looking aren't they? Elephants.

W*nkers.

I'm not even being dithery. I don't even know why I'm about to explain why, given that you just pooped out 7 posts of crap. Somebody has way too much time on their hands.


The topic is about bars NOT coffee houses, otherwise I probably would have given out full blown attitude. I could bitch all day about the hippies of East Dulwich (& village).

    • yes of course you are, more than entitled to do so, I was just showing what my experience had been, sorry to hear of your problems with trying to get them to help you.
    • I don't think H&B can be doing very well. I went in yesterday to collect my order (lots of nuts. I freeze them. I eat a lot of nuts). The place was empty. The manager, who seemed to be the only member of staff  there, was very helpful (I had to remove the nuts from the box to fit the order into my backpack, as the box wouldn't fit, so I think in future I will stick to getting things delivered!) But then he said, have a look around, you can have 10% off. But I didn't want to look around, because if there had been anything I wanted I would have added it to my order and got 22% off! Just wondering if they are offering everybody a discount to try to get people to buy things? I felt a bit sorry for him, rattling around by himself in a big empty shop.
    • Their sausage and mash was an absolute bargain in the days when they did a really good veggie sausage and gravy. Then they got a new chef. The veggie sausages (I assume bought in, and from a different - presumably cheaper - source)  became absolutely disgusting, verging on inedible. So no longer a bargain. If you are looking for a bargain lunch, head to Chern Thai, near the station. Lunchtime special 12 -3 Monday to Friday. £9 for a main, £12 for main plus starter. Thai lager on draft.  Very nice food and lovely people.
    • They have considerably upped their prices since the refurb, in the larger shop at least  (though to reflect generally better quality clothes etc being sold, to be fair) so they can probably afford it. It's "vintage" now, not "charity shop." 🤣 Annoying for people like me who have always frequented charity shops and found bargains, and now there are loads of people shopping there, and very few real bargains! I'm assuming it's the same trend for the children's shop as for adult charity shops.
