I was pleasantly surprised to see that The Bishop had re-opened last night, ahead of schedule following the refurbishment. Popped in for a pint with the other Mr Derwent Grove and we liked the new look. Nothing too drastic but a new colour scheme, some smart new furniture. They also seem to have lowered the bar/tables in the windows which means that a short-arse like me stands a better chance of being served and also has the added benefit of letting in a bit more natural light through the windows. Didn't check out the food menu or the facilities so not sure if they have also undergone any form of upgrade.

Indeed. We got chucked out of it once because it was reserved for the dog, and the dog wasn't even anywhere to be seen :))


Put our head round on Saturday to see what they'd done to the pub, not that impressed really but then we never went in there anyway in recent years, so shan't miss anything :))

He doesn't. Not any more, finished with it and Greene King. Think Foxy is talking about a time, not now, a time in the past. I've seen him tell the dog get down as well. Circa 2013.


ETA: hope to pop in Saturday afo. Benches still out front presumably?

      Nursery school

      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.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      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.
