General Dulwich Hamlet chat

They've done a nice job with the place but the biggest improvement has to be the staff even if there seems to be a predominance of beards! (Don't mention the H-word). Oh and artisan style aprons as part of the uniform. Prices good though; £3.60 for Southpaw.
All real ales (four handpumps) appear to be £3.60 a pint regardless of strength. Last weekend they also had Kent Cobnut and Brick Blenheim Black IPA, which were served in excellent condition. One cynic has suggested that the relatively cheap (for the area) price is an introductory offer and it will soon go up, but I do like the feel of the place. (EDT is now £4 a pint for real ale.) As Griff says, the Cherry Tree has been tastefully and smartly refurbished and furnished with nice comfortable furniture, without being too poncey or having any of this 'shabby chic' nonsense, i.e crappy old oddments of second hand tables and chairs in danger of collapsing when someone over 13 stone sits on them.

The previous owners/landlords of the Cherry Tree now have the Golden Lion in Sydenham. It's been done out in near enough identical decor to how the Cherry Tree used to be, and the ales are £4 a pint.

August Top 5 Average Crowds Step 3:

Amazingly, Darlo are also above Dulwich in the footballing scheme of things. First time that's happened for over three years.
 
Second in the crowd tables..to be honest: nice, but who cares. All I'm interested is that we're highest in the Isthmian League Premier Division table come the end of April!
 
Is there really a need to post this on here, when you've duplicated it on the attendances thread?
 
I remember when that route first started around 40 years ago with Ford Transit minibuses! They were like the one below, there was a flat fare of 10p for adults, exact change only, and you had to put you coin in a perspex box next to the driver's cab:

Excellent, I can't remember the transit but the P4 was always know to us as the 'Little bus', so that would fit.
It was my favourite as a kid as it went from my home in Honor Oak to either my Nan's at Champion Hill or into Lewisham for Our Price and Beatties
