I cycle from peckham rye to bishopsgate every day via peckham, OKR and tower bridge. I think people should own up to cycling the wrong way up rye lane outside woolworths. I know I do. Everyone does it even though i is reasonably dangerous. The council should blatently put a cycle lane up there.

There is no Greggs on the high street.

big thumbs up to the last two posts

brilliant. do you think the people who write the commentaries up put in john motson's tourettes style vocal tics?

I was just a bit riled by the attitude of the landlord. This wasn't the real conversation, just the made up one in my head... LL - "you must listen to Nina Simone" Me - "yeah, nina simone is one of the most important jazz vocalists of our time, but everyone is watching the footy, put the commentary on" LL - "no, that aint in keeping with the atmosphere this pub strives for" Me - "well why don't you kick out everyone in the pub then or turn off the screen?" LL - "i don't want to do that as I understand that you are all here for the football and paying for drinks and food, but this pub wants to be all sophisticated like" Me - "i'm off somewhere else for the second half. i also hate nightmares on wax"

Hey First time post so go easy if this has been covered before! Went to the Montpelier yesterday to watch the football. They have a massive screen at the back so thought it would be a good place ... Wrong. Despite everyone round the screen wanting the sound turned up on the football they wouldn't turn the music down, which was really loud. Fair enough the landlord wants to create a nice atmosphere by playing Amy Winehouse and Kate Nash records, which I have nothing against. But to isolate all those people seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
