You seem to think I view the world negatively but I don't start many negative threads. I'm a happy bunny


And im only busting your chops as it was such a minimal post. No grudge here, i promise


I'd be surprised if problems happened at Palmerston or franklins but any other pub around the lane, I'd be less confident. Or the mag is ok with bookings too. Others tend to move things around pub style to accommodate drop ins

I guess the pub (or bar) is weighing-up the financial benefits of (eg) fourteen people who are definitely looking for somewhere to booze all night - against the possibility of someone else maybe dropping-in for one or two.



The former being the ones who (these days) keep the pubs open.. unfortunately / fortunately (depending on which way you look at it)

Ha! In my book, the words 'pub' and 'Lordship lane' are no longer compatible. No, most of the licensed establishments that line Lordship lane can only be best described as refurbished bistros that serve a variety of seaweed ales. My guess is that this new policy of booking tables is a fad that's been imported from Battersea and Clapham, and is being trialed in ED. Worry not, I'm certain it will fizzle-out in due course.

unfortunately (in my view).


although I do question how often these people who book for 14 are actually doing this? Sure, they might guarantee a huge profit that night but are they regulars?


I agree with you atticus, I much prefer places that don't reserve seats. that sort of thing really gets on my nerves.


Unless of course, karter has invited me to the Palmerston? B)

    • best chance of survival would be to remove this post and keep him secret and not a novelty
    • You can buy devices for fixed that spray water when a remote sensor is triggered.  Next door use successfully - we used to have but I was the one that mostly got wet and I now enjoy our foxes - agree we should protect our precious wildlife.  
    • Fantastic news. We have a beautiful albino squirrel living in Crebor Street and I’m hoping that local cat owners could put bells ion their cat’s collars as Albus, yes I’ve named him, maybe be partially sighted or blind. He’s a very special wee fella and is loving life here and I hope as a community we can give him the best chance of survival and do all we can to keep him safe and well.    For Albus updates, you can check out my account on Instagram…@TravelswithTiaTina x
    • Will we notice any difference compared to now ? In the dim days before electricity light our street lights, the idea of two classes of mail meant that 1st class was delivered in the morning and 2nd class later in the day (yes two postal rounds per day)  But now, with modern technology and other "efficiency" changes we get one or less rounds a day and 2nd class is now within 3 days. Somehow I feel the death throes of a ine great postal service
