The CPT usually gets quite busy when the rugger is on, same group usually turn up, but are never seen otherwise. They come in, speak in loud deep voices so as to show us all how knowledgeable they are about the game (like none of the rest of us have ever played), then after the game they carry on drinking because they're great at drinking (Hmmm), and by 10pm they're dribbling towards a scared looking girl, and then they fall over and go home!


God I wish I could be in their gang! :-S


Couldn't care if they're built like brick sh!t houses, any bloke who falls over by 10 is no man! Our own beloved Mockney Piers weighs about 1 stone, and I can promise he'd out drink these fools!


Ahem, sorry, I hate rugger buggers, put me off playing the game I used to love.

That may be he case in England but, as a valley's comprehensive school educated Welshman who lives around the corner from the CPT, I would like to point out that, in Wales, the game is very, very much a working class game...we're just a bit different to what has been described above! Thankfully...

I think I?m the only South African on the planet who knows sod all about rugby. People hear my accent and just start spurting forth this and that about the game. Normally I just smile and nod not wanting to let the side down by admitting my ignorance.


I can talk your ear off about cricket though.


And on review that appears to have precisely nothing to do with filming at the CPT. Sorry.

Rpike, it is still played in a lot of state schools, and I played myself from school through til I was about 22/23, but these blokes just turn up and annoy the normal rugby fan!


Having said all that, I played for a team in Liverpool, and they were not posh, the were absolutely psychotic!!!!!

Many apologies Jeremy for my sweeping generalition of rugger bugger type names but I think you get my drift. And, good man for pacing yourself. One has got to know one's limitations. "One", sorry I'm speaking posh myself now. I may well do the royal "we" next. This could be headed for the lounge methinks. CPT CPT CPT!

Apparently they were filming "crowd scenes" to show during the rugby?! Not entirely sure what they mean by that, but hey ho, that's what the guy told my friend when she asked!! Some kind of ad I guess.


They also filmed down round goose green, and then were off to do filming at a wedding. Bizarre.


As an aside, my friend rang and complained, as after they left Goose Green the catering company left loads of bags of rubbish behind which had split and gone everywhere. Would be interested to know if the refuse company came as promised and cleared up the mess?

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
