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).

    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again. 
    • What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
