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).

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • 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?
