Street Party: July 2
Just been in the Florence. No interesting beers to report.
Herne Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip
- Thread starter choochi
- Start date
Happened to me recently, ended up in East Croydon instead of Tulse Hill. Had to wait in EC for a bit, change at Selhurst.
Thankfully I didn't have my ticket checked.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint

IIRC there's a very amusing detail where they had to cut the window sill around the tap for the basin. That's the highlight of the Gents loos of Brixton for me.My blokes loos in the Regent are ok, can't say I've ever noticed anything wrong but I don't like the atmosphere in there lately, it seems a bit soulless.

Had a couple of pints of Beaver Dam, which also comes in a sparkling variant at £3.90/pt
Both are pretty decent

The 'spoons thing is nonsense apparently. They're still pretty much as they were with the insurance, although it's complicated by the estate insisting on turning upstairs into residential which can never be a good thing for a pub.
boohoo
No.
At least it's not the toilet in the Ship in south Norwood.

Told the owner I wanted to complain about the loos - he said 'again?' - yes again
he said to report it to the (rather busy) staff. It obviously doesnt bother him at all.
The only Herne Hill news is bad toilet news ...

I really don't understand why they don't sort it out.

The Sunday market has applied for planning permission to extend to Saturday (same times) too.

Having just been to the Electric for the first time in decades - at 2.30am their loos still flushed, had paper and soap and were reasonably clean. I've seen the Regent's loos look worse at 6pm. It's not much to ask for.

Half Moon update. Dulwich Estates will be turning the upstairs into flats. The pub will remain a pub - no timescale yet for the reopening but it will reopen in some form or other possibly run by a pubco. This of course means we have lost another live music venue.
Doesnt sound good...

There was a stage and live music going on outside the station when we went past on saturday night - but we were on our way to a party and couldn't hang about. What was going on?
and why hadn't I heard about it - where do they advertise these things? Does anyone know will they be doing anymore outside events there this year?

Yes.. just checked - that's where the info is coming from.. it was this;
Picnic for our Piano - it is all happening this Saturday
Get the party frock out, dust down your dancing shoes - it's a reminder for the Picnic for our Piano this Saturday in Station Square.
Cake, bunting, music, fun and a good old chin-wag with your fellow Herne Hillbilly awaits you. All the stars of the piano will be there, performing just for you, how good is that? The road will be closed, the tables up and ready for your amazing cup cakes, nice neat sandwiches with the crusts cut off and maybe even the occasional strawberry or two. Bring enough to feed you, your family and your new found friends that you will meet on the day. Maybe also bring something to sit on as well, in between all the groovin. It is a share and share alike kind of day.
Did I say dance? well the Lindy Hoppers will be there, strutting their stuff for all to join in with so no excuses - let it all hang out, the next day isn't a school day after all.
It will start around 4.00 p.m. and if the piano survives and doesn't get party fatigue, will be playing away until 8.00. After that the piano will be put back in it's home, tucked up with a nice cup of Horlicks and hopefully will survive the obligatory hangover the next morning.
If you are one of those wonderful people who just want to make things that much better and could help out on the day, maybe even an hour or so then we would love to hear from you. Drop us an e-mail to join the team.

This was in the same email:
Meet the new councillors - tell 'em what we need
Way back some time in May we all (well some of us) elected a whole bunch of councillors, some new, some back again for one more time.
Always curious as to what they look like, these upstanding volunteers from our community who want to represent us to the local councils?
Well your chance has come, on July 10th we are holding the Herne Hill Forum AGM where all the new councillors from Herne Hill, Thurlow Park (Lambeth) and Village Wards (Southwark) will be attending. The meeting will be all about getting our priorities for the area, what needs fixing, what needs improving, what are the issues and so setting the councillors priorities over the coming years.
It will be a very interactive evening where your ideas for our area will be added to our embryonic Neighbourhood Plan. The local councillors will all be there, discuss with them what you want to see happen, what needs changing.
As it is also our AGM there will be the chance to get more involved with all the activities and projects that we are working on in the local area by joining the committee. Don't worry if you think it requires endless amounts of time, it doesn't. It just needs whatever input you can give, large or small. Do contact us if you want to join the committee.
We will also be having our special soap box slot - the 3 minutes of fame that you get to talk about any local issue that you want raised. Slots available for the 10th - let us know if you would like to book your 3 mins.
The meeting is being held on Thursday July 10th, 7.00 p.m.
at St Pauls Church Hall, Herne Hill, SE24

There was some good music but i may be being biased as I know a few of them. We sat outside the commercial for the last two hours. My drunk gay friend was not so impressed. He stated that it was the result of straight people organising stuff, shortly before he declared Herne Hill as a queer caliphate before staggering off home.
Drunken fuckwit being drunk and acting like a fuckwit shocker.
