Mrs O'Mockney always called it Santana.

Irish gaelic, being absolutely a pronunciation mystery to me, I always deferred to her greater knowledge.

I did feel a bit better about it when an Irish chap in Madrid corrected her though, so the language isn't THAT insane.


And the Castle does, I'm guessing any pub with a sky box will too.

what do you expect you,re in ireland

I ended up at the Forest Hill Tavern, as the CPT hadn't paid the Setana subscription and the Magdala were showing the rugby.


Bloody rugby and a meaningless friendly at that. Guess that's the downside of antipodean bar staff.


Have to say that the FHT refurb is fab. It's a much nicer place these days.

    • Hopefully some of you are up for this.  I planted a small meadow a few years ago, hard work on these heavy clay soils.  The start is planting yellow rattle, but I've spent tens of pounds on seeds and plugs over the years and only a few species are successful - ox eye daisy, purple and white clover, with the daisies, buttercups and dandelions that many consider weeds. It's going to be tough doing MMM as I have not mowed over much of the lawn this year, so it will need one hell of a trim in June. Apart from the meadow that is cut three times a year by hand.
    • Would be nice if we had updates in the app rather than having to take it upon ourselves to contact them.
    • There was an email to members saying they'd get a refund - but only if they didn't use any of the other local pools - which we'd been advised to do! I've been going to Camberwell or Peckham, which takes up more of my day and costs more in the meantime, but feel very disappointed in the protracted closure as I became a member to use my local pool.
