Yeah, and the new pub signs are up ? advertising 12 'boutique' rooms. I believe 'boutique' in this context does not refer to a 60s footballer's trendy frock shop, but a tiny room that costs a fortune. There's absolutely no prospect of any live music that is either loud or late.

I agree, but it might have been less cruel if Fuller's hadn't continued with the fiction that they were doing everything they could to preserve the live music. No doubt they'll have a jazz-lite singer-guitarist serenading the weekend diners and think that's pretty much the same...

Yeah, that's basically my take on it too. I very rarely saw the venue section particularly busy - even going back 15 years or so. Maybe they just didn't get the right promoter(s) on board. But signing a petition to save an underused venue seemed like a bit of an empty gesture.


On the plus side, I don't mind Fullers pubs/beers, and if it's a nice refurb then it could be a winner. Decent local hotel rooms will be useful too (and probably a better prospect than the budget hotel they're apparently opening in the village).

    • And halfway down, "commercial venues and events" 🙄
    • Help! I plugged an external hard drive into my laptop  to see what was on it, and now I can't eject it because it has started doing something.  I'm getting a message that it's currently in use, close any programs or windows that might be using it, and try (to eject it) again. But I've closed everything down that I can see. It's got an enormous amount of stuff on it, documents photos and music,  which I don't want to lose.  Could it be synching to OneDrive? What shall I do? Just wait till it's finished whatever it's doing? Surely whatever it's doing shouldn't have started automatically? I hate my laptop with a vengeance 🤬 It has caused me nothing but trouble since I got it. I also hate Windows 11. Rant over.

    • Mango Indian just off Borough Market is great. A bit pricy (though worth it) in the evenings, but if you're going for lunch they do a £12 set menu. Not quirky though, sorry!  https://lovemango.co.uk/menus/
