Crystal Palace/Sydenham/Penge Chitter Chatter

Tell me more . . .

Sells cask beer and bottles. Nothing on pumps. Bit of a hodge podge inside but pretty nice and cosy. It's a bit small so can get busy, prices are slightly cheaper than average IIRC - but it's not wetherspoons. Try it, if you hate it you can walk up the hill.

we'll have a penge-ish urbanites beer night there.

A giant sinkhole has appeared on Penge High Street outside the Sainsburys! Pics later, but the diameter was approx 7-8 feet, and at least as deep Water mains half exposed too.

BTW el-ahrairah the shop next to that hole, the Penge Food Centre, is one of the better (only?) independent veg and non-British grocery shops in the area. Just opposite the big Sainsbury's.

I love that shop. Sheep's milk yoghurt. Great fruit and veg, including those pale green courgettes. A million indistinguishable types of halloumi. Pepper paste. Dried mulberries.

PS when are we going to Beer Rebellion? I've never been and it's annoying me.

I've never been either. I'm free most days except Wednesdays, given a bit of notice.

To the untrained eye perhaps

Beer Rebellion you say?

 

[RubyToogood]

How about Wednesday 26th? Or would we rather do a Fri/Sat?

 

[TruXta]

Wednesdays are no good for me, but don't let that stop you.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I'd be up for it. The 26th is a Thursday though I think.

So it is. I meant the 25th then. But TruXta should come. Someone else suggest a date then.

I don't work Tuesdays and Thursdays at the mo, and I have a low alcohol tolerance, so Mon/Weds/Fri/Sat are my best evenings for going out on the piss.

[el-ahrairah]
