Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

That is pretty good. I got a discount the other day that amounted to 10% off. To their defence it wasn't expiring on the day but 2 days later, but still felt pretty Scroogey.

For 99p what we are tonight must have been right on the edge!

Think you will find that I won this week. Got a voucher for 3.49 off a pack of chicken costing 3.49

I've gone past the White Hart quite a few times recently. I hope it does well but it's never looked appealing to me yet. And I fucking hate karaoke in pubs.

I was in there yesterday. Pretty busy. Watched the football, ate free sausage and roast potatoes and headed to Knowles.

They need to move that shabby looking Sky Sports banner that's hanging precariously from their name sign. It looks really unappealing.

I do wish them well though and it's nice to see life in there.

Apparently they have some great regular singers at the karaoke. Proper soulful singers.

I love the current incarnation of the White Hart. Friendly staff, cheap drinks, no nonsense. What's not to like.

Karaoke.

Karaoke.

Yeah fuck going there on a Friday night although if i *had* to choose I might prefer it to the hell that is the railway on a weekend evening. But really if you just want a no frills pint it's the best pub in the area.

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has tried the Caribbean shop on the corner by deejay. The builders are desperate for a change from their chicken and chips diet.

They need to raise the bridge.

 

[Crispy]

Or lower the road.
(often difficult because of buried pipes etc.)

Looks like the sacrificial beam did its job though. Glad I'm on my bike today.

 

[Maharani]

I'm just at the junction on the 196 and there's the usual amount of traffic on the road.

 

[Maharani]

It must've happened earlier this morning as the traffic was flowing just fine.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I don't understand - why does it happen so often there in particular, compared to any other similar bridge?

The South Circular is a major route for HGVs, as it connects with the M2/ M20 and therefore offers easy access to and from the Channel Tunnel & Dover, and it sees far more large lorry traffic than all surrounding roads.

It is odd that they would have a low bridge on a major route like the south Circular.

The bridge came first. The "South Circular" is just a name given to a hodgepodge of existing roads. It was going to all get bulldozed and turned into dual carriageway like the North Circular, but those plans were succesfully opposed.

Oh really? I didn't know that. Thank fuck the plans were never approved!

Although it looks like the Real South CIrcular would have been further south, sparing Tulse Hill from destruction.

This is happening at The Railway on 4th June:

I like the snarky time of the BBC article!
Hmmn think Tulse Hill could have stayed nicer if the south circular had been elsewhere (NIMBY I know)
