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.

    • Sue My point being that if you experience something that could potentially be sorted by a GP, you might feel it necessary to go to A&E, which would be clogged up due to the doctors strike.  Just my opinion, but I don't really see that its necessary to close a surgery for half a day for staff training.  
    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
