We’ve become drunk party central again

Not sure about Brockwell Park, but the amount of people heading to Clapham Common loaded down with bags of booze yesterday at about 5pm was amusing. some rather interesting interpretations of the rule of 6 too, some groups numbered 30+!

I met someone for the first time in 4 months on Saturday at Clapham and it wasn't too bad, but then the weather wasn't amazing. Most people were in small groups/pairs, with some exceptions.

Brockwell Park this morning was a bit of a tip, but mainly around the bins. Didn't seem as bad as some of the photos of other parks across the country on social media this morning

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

There were bins that were full at 4pm on the common yesterday. There will be a few sore heads this morning.

Brockwell Park wasn’t in too bad a state this morning - they have cleaned enough to be mowing the grass.

I think it's impressive the way people do their best to load their rubbish into the undersized bins:

With the lockdown rules being relaxed to permit outdoor gatherings of up to six people or two households, the booze returned to Brockwell Park en masse on the weekend. The vast amount of cans and b…

needs more recycling bins

needs more recycling bins

Yes! I always think this in parks...such a large proportion of the stuff you see piled up after busy summer days is easily recyclable.

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

Im hoping they once again install portaloos in Brockwell Park and Clapham Common this summer-it makes sense. Just because the hospitality might be open again in some form doesnt mean they should be public toilets when most people wont even buy a drink.

A jazzy wind band just wandered down Railton Road. Uplifting start to the day!

Apols if already posted - I've only just seen this



It was a scam, obvs

Super old photo would be the stand out thing for me. Would have been interesting to visit pre-flooding.

Apologies if I am repeating old news, but a friend just rang me amazed that the Prince Regent is in full throw of a filming session. I only realised what he was going on about when I checked their website. They are offering themselves as a fully equipped location filming venue Filming at The Prince Regent. 69 Dulwich Road, London SE24 0NJ. 020 7274 1567.

 

[friendofdorothy]

Saw that - struck me as an ideal time to be filming inside pubs clubs or restruants that are all empty anyway. Wonder what the film/show is?

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

Theyve been filming in the East Dulwich Tavern of late too. Rumoured to be a Guinness advert.

The filming thing was happening well before Covid-19/ lockdown. As most pubs don’t open before the evening then it’s an easy way to make some extra cash.

A friend was sent this, in case any of you good folk of Herne Hill are interested

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

There should be plenty of folk in Herne Hill willing to show off on TV their £1 million+ houses and new lockdown fitted out expensive kitchens.

It's not being filmed in people's homes because of Covid.

Oh. I missed the line in the flyer about not being filmed at people's homes.

But that's half the fun of that programme, when the guests are allowed to roam free around the host's house, criticising every last bit of furniture, decoration, and even items of clothing they lay their eyes on.

Especially when it’s local and you try and work out where they live

Possibly the weirdest bit too- im not exactly the dinner party type, but if i was, im not sure it would be a thing to let people go rummaging through my bedroom, unless they were helping find my lost stash or something similar.

It's all set up though, isn't it?

We should have an urban version. Bunch of people arguing around a table about whether lasagne and chips is proper food or a sign of gentrification

The “Will I Die” special.

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

I have an idea for a program which will be based in Herne Hill, and specifically in 'The Half Moon' public house. It would be called "How to go Bankrupt in 10 minutes" and it will simply involve ordering 3 glasses of beer.

What’s going on with the commercial? It’s a Mitchell’s & Butler pub so cant have run out of money

I thought the sign said it was opening on 17th May when I went past last week. My guess is the amount of outdoor space there isn't worth the cost of opening up till they can have punters inside.
