Street Party: July 2
Excellent - kids love it and it's cheap.
I recommend Wowo - Wapsbourne Manor - especially now I have found the short cut to the pub

Oh, I went to one of those at Kennington Park in the 80s. The only thing I remember about it is it pissed down and I had gel in my hair which went in my eyes

So I got the flower show regulations in the post as a previous entrant. I'm not planning to enter the knitting competition this year but thought I might possibly do a vegetable figure. HOWEVER the category is REALLY disappointing this year as it's just "a vegetable sea creature" for both the adults' and kids' categories.
We are not going to be seeing an aubergine Charles Saatchi strangling a cabbage Nigella Lawson again.
Herne Hill Stitch and Bitchers are all knitting furiously!

ah yeah, that's the year. I took my b/f to it. Was a bit of an eye opener for a country boy like him

Went past Brockwell park - I see the funfair has arrived, marquees are going up and poraloos are lined up ready. I'm getting quite excited!

Swimming in the lido today everytime I looked up parkways to take a breath I could see the top of the main stage. Quite exciting.

ditto - as you know. Soooo many bad experiences there (I should have learned sooner) - but you've seen my rage.
Lovely walk to get there though.

Didn't notice the beer was costly - they had three excellent real ales. Is the food a rip-off?

Appalling service and rip off food for kids in particular. A lot of us on here have been there a lot over the last 5-6 years in groups and on our own, and it's gradually got shitter and shitter

if you get there too late and it's a nice weekend and busy you end up in some ridiculous queuing system with no guarantees of ever being fed (and by too late I mean later than about 1pm) - this has happened to us after waiting some hours on at least one occasion. It makes for a really unpleasant atmosphere - queuing for ages at the bar to be put into another queue for food with loads of disgruntled punters. He just won't pay for the extra staff it seems.
I've also stayed at one of the the landlord's campsite (next to the pub - you walk through it from Wowo) which is lovely but also a rip-off.

Yes, service has always been slow but I try to avoid eating out when camping, for various reasons.
Not least because this is more fun (not me pictured):

Cider i up everyone, hope to see some of you this weekend 
Come and visit me and other urbanites at the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters Trust stall, where we will indoctrinate you into the love of Dulwich Hamlet FC and regale you with witty banter and possibly ill-thought out songs. Also hopefully a penalty shoot-out game for kids & adults, and maybe some tickets to games. We should be on the left hand side inside the main gates closest to Herne Hill station.

Which is why I'll be buying a few pints on the first day, as early as I can.

Yep, me too - that's my main mission each time
You can actually order it online (a pleasure I need to keep in check) but it's nice to have it on your doorstep.
