Crystal Palace Tavern

Ah ha!

The Old Crown

[mockney piers]

I'm in. Can we employ Wendy Richards circa 1975 as the barmaid please?

[SeanMacGabhann]

That is some beer list on The Old Crown's page

Brendan - kick off? In this place? Between you and me?? I doubt it ;-)

American bars seem to do the bar/bar-stool thing very well in my experience. I find it much easier over there to grab a stool and end up in conversation withsomeone nearby

It got to one stage where a particular bar in NY recognized me after a 6month absence and put the pint of stella on teh counter before I ordered

If I ever get to Vegas, I've promised myself I'm going here:

Back on topic again: (thought I was in the lounge for a minute) I think I drunkenly suggested we club together for the CPT one night and everyone stared and said they had all thought of that several times. The rumours today suggest a happier outcome than I feared (ie full closure)

Here's hoping the vibe and the staff remain

[Brendan]

Looks great! I think visiting the bar would be a good enough excuse to go to Vegas.

An EDF pub co-operative...

Keef can be the pub sign, seeing as he's pretty-much there all the time anyway.

Alan can source a piano (no more than ?60 though please, Alan), so that Louisa can have her old-fashioned sing-sings.

I can use the piano at night for knocking-out.. er I mean.. carefully crafting my compositions.

Mockney can be the official photographer.

Madworld can do Reiki healing upstairs so we can save on travelling expenses (though 'the magic' will still be charged at ?50/hour, plus materials)

Sean can mediate when a fight breaks out.

The Admin can install peepholes in all the eyes of the paintings on the walls.

I can provide tasteful curtains and hops from my back garden. What about a site visit to Cumbria?

[BarryRoad]

Lottery syndicate, anyone?

>>so that Louisa can have her old-fashioned sing-sings.<<

Isn't this carrying the New York analogy a little too far then? :))

And if you're hoping to rope in Admin. he's going to insist on a sizeable lounge....

[Brendan]

Half the place is a Lounge. Or so it says on the door. (I think or does it say SALOON on the door into the back bar?)

I quite like the thought of people getting relegated to the back bar when their conversations degenerates into rubbish. I think it would get pretty full especially towards the end of the night.

[Amelie]

I wish whoever owns the CPT would sort out the exterior wood and paintwork, it looks terrible.

[Ko]

I hope the CPT stays. Its a good local. (tu)

[Keef]

Can pub signs still drink? I could actually do it in shifts with Fear n' Boozin....

Can I be the bar maid? :)-D

[Keef]

Do you have a low cut top? ;-)

[Jah Lush]

And a large chest? Shapely bottom is also an added bonus. Sorry for being so sexist but us chaps like to have something to look at when we're drooling over our pints.:)-D

[Brendan]

::o

Shocking!

[Annasfield]

Errrrrr ;-) :-$

[*Bob*]

We could have 'Topless Tuesdays'.

[SeanMacGabhann]

anyone here NOT know where this is going???

[Brendan]

I feel that a thread about a collective from ED buying the CPT and turning into a den of iniquity is a topical issue.

[Annasfield]

Hey! I only asked if I could work behind the bar :-S

[Brendan]

And see where it went. tsk tsk.

And I only asked if you have a low cut top.... If you say yes then we say yes :)-D

Think Topless Tuesdays may be a step too far, would give some of the older regulars a heart attack!

[Brendan]

Glad you said that before I went and suggested naked Thursdays Keef.

[SeanMacGabhann]

It's the CPT - let's keep in in the main forum if we can people!
