Pub crawl suggestion...as tried and tested this evening with a couple of friends.


Started at The Vale - pleasantly surprised. I asked a man (who said he was the owner) about this Whetherspoon thing and he said it was "all a load of crap". Make of that what you will. But nice and cosy sitting next to the real fire.


Then we moved on to...oh gawd...where was it? Was it Hoopers? Yes, I think it was Hoopers. Not my favourite - a bit too quiet...and decor a bit old fashioned for me...a nice old man's pub...lots of old men reading their papers in silence. But I was sold by the TV showing Man. U playing Wolverhampton. One of my friends said it was her favourite of the evening...so it's all very subjective.


Then the Victoria Inn. One of Scott's bars. Prefer it to the Actress...less noisy and a bit more comfortable. Certainly not as crowded.


Finally the Montpelier...I can't remember anything about that one. Oh yes...a kind of cross between the Actress and another pub but I can't remember which right at the minute. My tongue is numb - that last Sambuca was over the top.

You are right! I am off cider at the moment. Started off tonight's pub crawl with Cahlua - lovely sweet toffee like coffee flavour. The final pub (Montepelier) didn't stock it and I fancied something sweet, so ordered Sambuca because it tastes of aniseed balls. Nearly blew my head off - but delicious. Drank it slowly by dipping my tongue into glass for a few seconds at regular intervals. Result = numb tongue LOL!


See you soon for a Sambuca (or two)! x

DJKQ, go have some Sambuca, it will help with your footie injury.


It was a great pub crawl for a Tuesday night, i liked all of the bars, we didn't need to drive either :), it was a good walk and a fair amount of booze involved. The Vale is a very nice bar and very cosy and the food on the menu looks great. The chef was friendly when he came out to put the menus out. Hoopers bar is quite traditional and local footie players were having a drink in there. The Victoria nice as ever and the burger with onions was fab IMO. Two of my p!ss-artist buddies did not rate the chips though, didn't stop them from woofing them all down though. The Mont- great last stop, friendly and cosy too then it was the walk back to ED.

Knowing me, it'll only encourage me to pole dance on my crutch........nooooooooooooo - don't even picture that......


And Dita - you may not have drunk any Sambucca but at least I wasn't acting out my bedroom seduction techniques in the middle of The Actress on a Friday Night! Killer wine that was eh ;-)

Hear that karter? Respect for...erm...Laddy:-S Muck!!!!


Tongue fully recovered today.


Oh and as for Dita's...ahem...(*coughs*)...dance...well, that was an artistic feat the like of which my eyes had never seen before...I feel quite, quite privileged. Nearly coughed my own lungs up with laughter! The lady is blessed with enormous talent - of that there can be no doubt.


As for you pole-dancing on your crutch, Queenie - that I've got to see LOL!

    • It’s not great, but this only happens when a business is in trouble and is facing bankruptcy. The landlords are free to say no. The restructuring will often then have to be approved by a High Court judge, so it’s not a total gun-to-the head. It does upset landlords quite a bit though, because if the business does go under, they’ll likely not see any pay out. So they often feel under pressure to comply. 
    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.
