Look, I'm a little flush at the moment, so have what you fancy.

Ladies, don't stint yourselves, have a port and lemon alongside your usual sticks of mild. Or indeed whatever takes your fancy.

It shall be my pleasure.

Gentlemen, steam in with a large dose of 'top shelf' of your choice to accompany your light and bitter.


I know I'm having a triple Drambuie alongside my pint of keg.


So, it's Liberty Hall round here, just tell Stan or Doreen it's on me.


Cheers.

Indeed so LM.


Stan get the Muckster a triple of the most expensive malt you have and two sticks of mild.


Mud in your eye, LadyM.

Doreen had a quick look downstairs (and let there be no ribaldry, here I refer to the cellar) and is sad to report that they don't have a Michael of Krug, but has sent Ken the potman out for a case. In a black London taxi cab if you don't mind.

The Bombadier is right there for you, and she's also put the early David Bowie song 'The Little Bomdadier' on the jukebox, special like.


Nice touch I thought.

Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends as Richard Bacon once remarked, probably before his cocaine-demise from Blue Peter.


Ooh, talking of bacon I wonder if Stan thought to order some of those 'gourmet' pork scratchings, you know the ones that have had the hair removed.


They're the only ones good enough for real friends of the calibre of PeckhamRose.


That'll be two packets, please Stan.

There's only 'Bolly' at the moment, but Doreen reckons it's just at the right quaffing temperature and I trust her judgement.


I've told her to keep it coming until you can't even remember where you parked your bike, let alone ride it home.


Mi tab, su tab.


Enjoy.

Doreen, Stan, kindly keep the Blandford Fly flowing for my new chum Katie1997 and if she requires it 'strengthening' with a medicinal dose of whisky, or even whiskey, then let your hand be generous and you represent me in a fullest and most favourable light.


You're welcome, K-K-K Katie.

I think I can picture Doreen and Stan, she is welcoming but won't stand for any nonsense. Stan is efficient but can be a tad slow in the execution of his duties. Salt of the earth types the pair of them...


Definitely hold the whisky/whiskey, the blandford ale is already alcoholic and I wouldn't like to cause any extra work....though saying that, a snack would be nice ;)

Doreen gave a smirk and a rise of her right eyebrow.

Stan shrugged and said he knew little of cocktails.

He's gone upstairs to rouse the Australian barman, who he reckons will be able to sort you out.


Honestly, where else would you get service like that?

Corks Katie1997, you sound as if you're a reg'lar down at The Mott The Hoople.

There's a chair round the snug next time you're in.

Spot on about Doreen, any sign of what she describes as 'ructions', she's straight through the 'jump' informing the 'ructioneers' in no uncertain terms to 'either pack it up, or get packed up'.

Stan, on these occasions always seems to find something to attend to in the cellar.

It works well for them, though but.

Doreen prides herself in having a nice bit of boiled ham and a spot of mature Cheddar cheese always available.

She'll always get Ken the potman to cut along to the baker's for a fresh roll or two when necessary.

And she'll always knock up a toastie on the Dualit when required.

Pickles of various varieties provided on the side

They'll never get mentioned in any food guides, but as Doreen once said, "F*ck 'em".

At the time, Stan gave her a bit of a look and remembered he had something to attend to in the cellar

I've checked with Doreen, PGC, she's fine with the pickled egg, but says there's not a tin of caviar soup left in the place and she doesn't want to send Ken out again tonight, what with his chest being what it is and all.


I reckon though, she's deliberately misunderstood your request for comedic purposes.


It wouldn't surprise me in the least, it's rumoured that she and Bernie WInters were once 'close'.

EEEEEEEHH!!!

PGC, no one wants to be responsible for Ken's chest, least of all it would seem, Ken himself.

Doreen's great-auntie Vi suggested precisely the remedy you put forward.

Would he apply it? Would he buggery.

Claimed it made him all 'too smeary' and would end up staining the Lord John shirt he bought in Carnaby Street that time.


Doreen continues to indulge him, I reckon he's just putting it on though.


We'll see.

Of course I'll join you LM, but I insist on paying.

As for the knee/groin incident, think nothing of it. A mere bagatelle. As it were.

The main thing it did was to get Susan Cadogan's 'Hurt So Good' playing on repeat in my head.

How bad?

I think you make a good point KatieNumbers (I think it's about time you got yourself an American mafia style sobriquet, I mean you're practically a made guy, already).


Mind, Doreen is very protective of Stan, so it's not politic to even imply the slightest criticism of his behaviour.


Just a couple of weeks ago, Stan fell prey to melancholy for a couple of days.

So distracted was Doreen, that even when a horse entered the bar, she didn't think to ask him 'Why the long face'?


Stan watched all 12 episodes of 'Fawlty Towers' and soon was his old self again, though, so it all turned out alright in the end.

HonaloochieLetter. Quite right. Wouldn't dream of it.

So ssssshhhh, but between us I bet I'd be right in saying that Stan watched 'Fawlty Towers' in the cellar. All 12 episodes!


Was talking to Chee Chee about changing my name. Big Paulie and Jimmy the Weasel weren't happy about it. Shame as I think Lucky Boo Boo has a certain charm.

    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
