It should be legally compulsary for all citizens to support a team during the world cup and I'm gessing those asking for footy free pubs are looking to escape footy mad husbands that have turned the family home into a stadium for four weeks hee hee.
When I watched the 1982 World Cup...it wasn't shown in any pubs other than in a few old mans pubs on sets that switched over to the races and at my hall of residence although there was a reasonable interest in the England games (maybe 20-30 mainly blokes) for other games there would be about five of us. How times have changed.
I really am not that bothered about football, much to the horror of virtually everyone I meet. I'm not sure when / how it became such an apparently, compulsory interest (like ???? says above, it wasn't always like this). I like a good kick around with mates, and I will admit to watching the occasional international - but I have friends who literally organise their entire lives around sitting infront of the TV, watching someone else playing football. The level of obsessiveness seems completely wierd to me.

    • So your remedy for anyone harming an animal, amongst which I assume you include at least all insects, is, well, to kill an animal. Good and logical call. Hyperbole only gets you so far, you know. 
    • Hello, just wondered if you found anything? I'm also looking for a studio space, perhaps sharing. 
    • From what I have gathered from Bradbury Oak residents  I have spoken with, that at a meeting with RNIB earlier in the year, none of the residents were in favour of new build. There is the implication that rent rises are anticipated to help towards building costs. Rent is currently in the region of £300 pw - as with most sheltered housing (council and Housing Association), Since these rents also include maintenance charges, utility charges - Housing Benefit is only applicable to the actual 'rent element' per flat.
    • At the Dulwich Hill SNT meeting last night we spoke about Met. Engage. Dulwich Hill had signed up 185 households. Scheme  had been trialled in other parts of the country successfully and now the Met. Police are rolling it out, To the end of August, the Met Police had gathered 17,000 registrations which equites to 2% of households.
