oooooh...that also contains a link to the entertaining Declan Nerney. Now I can play him in the background whilst playing on the forum...erm...I mean...working. Thanks observermum.



*dee dee dee dee dee dee la la la la*

Actually, Declan Nerney was much better LIVE...out in the open air. I enjoyed listening to his band's music whilst I just simply sat/walked about with friends eating icecream, crisps and drinking cider. The whole atmosphere was lovely. Everyone seemed relaxed and to be having a good time. Sure some of the stalls were a bit naff - but so what - it was free, fun and pleasant, I was with good friends and the weather was perfect. Everyone I bumped into said the same. But then and again, I prefer the simple things in life.

I agree - pleasant atmosphere

Unfortunately the dates clashed with lots of other events and school fairs so many families were busy elsewhere.

But still a good turn out and many people caught up with old friends. As for the stalls - they're a one-off thing - it was not really a profit making event with just stands for the county associations with a few raffles to raise money for the elderly or Across etc


Well done to the organisers

Hope it continues for many years to come.......

Ah well...there's no accounting for taste...


And, no I really wasn't taking the Mick Mac (I like that by the way!) OliviaDee...I genuinely enjoyed DN's music on Sunday. It was cheery. And I do genuinely love that accent. But each to their own...whatever floats your boat...whatever tickles your fanny...

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say. 
    • I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
