Frankito, fair enough and I guess the forum has become the place for people to vent their frustrations when things wind them up.

I'm also guessing that it'd be good old Admin who takes the flack from angry local businesses about any misrepresentation on here tho.


I don't think that everyone realises that some posts are from bots either judging from the way they respond to them, here is a case in point.


Now is it too late to second dearest Meds' nomination? He's probably got a rule book about that somewhere too!

Netts already seconded the vote. Evil.


Not sure how moaning about a bit of late night noise can be construed as misinterpretation... Now if I had been saying the place is crap or they rip me off then yes, I would expect to be challenged and pulled into line. But I haven't said that nor have I implied it. It's a decent local for all it gets noisy.. ... ..... :)


I have heard much worse on here although not from you.

katie, you noticed! (extracts earplugs and weeps with gratitude)


no more from me now as a. thou shall not hijack thread and b. thou shall not suffer it to undergo dread fate of wtf Actress threads


richbach may be bot, but he speak sooth

Thirded then please.


Nope, I didn't say you misrepresented them either. I'm sure you've probably noticed that the way things go on here sometimes a bit of light-hearted moaning and a negative thread title sometimes attracts unwarranted comments against local businesses too, that's all.


Edited - reply to Frank.

Frankie, in all semi-seriousness, you hardly said anything. You could have been complaining about seagulls or people talking on the street. It was just a comment. It happened to be the pub noise. I don't see it as an attempt to put Pete out of business. Regarding the 'wtf' bit, frankly in this age of textspeak we add things to comments because of it. It could have been 'be janey' if there was textspeak for it. I have to admit that some textspeak I have to look up as I don't know what it means.


I'd be more pee'd off with Pete if I was going to his pub last week-end to watch the footie and thought I could see all of the two games he advertised as on. The kick off times wouldn't have allowed this but on his thread they would have. Being the polite citizen I am I did post to let him know.

Katie, I tend to exaggerate. It's a 'problem' I have. I'm dealing with it.

No need for facetious remarks, Frankito.


I just happened to read this thread yesterday and unfortunately got caught up in responding to (in my opinion, unkind) remarks made by granadaland/Matt after the FHT posted on here. I know that far worse comments about local businesses have been made on here. I think I already said, oooh way back on page 1, that this one didn't seem to be intended to be deliberately malicious in any way and that the FHt likely didn't have knowledge of your usually good humoured posts.

There was no interest, believe me, until people started being unnecessarily rude to the response from what is, after all, a local business and someone's livelihood.


If I did work there, you'd hate it even more - I think Rolf Harris is great for karaoke :)

    • I hear that Landells Road has had a spate of parcels being taken,
    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
    • Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).
    • Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
