Paul Daniels never actually sawed Debbie Mcghee in half.

Pity.


Mel Blanc, who was the voice of Bugs Bunny, was allergic to carrots.

I think this one is a myth - he used to crunch on carrots to get the sound effect, and them spat them out... but only because eating it would leave a long gap in the dialogue.

Oh-kay, prepared to stand corrected John K.


For once, my BS button wasn't switched on and I thought I was *reliably* informed on this by a local historian (and not a bloke dahn the pub either).

Naff is an unpleasant naval term for a woman who is considered perhaps 'uncomely'.

It's an acronym for either 'Not Available For Fun' or 'Nasty As F*ck' with a slilent not to say meaningless 'F' thrown in.


It really all depends which bloke down the pub you choose to believe.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
