It would be a destination though, wouldn't it.


And surely it's exactly because it's in what is presently a drought place for beer that it would do well?


I would go, and I don't live up that end of ED.


ETA: No I didn't go to Barcelona (twice was enough) but that was because it was crap :))

It depends what you mean by a difficult site - it won't be close to the rest of the bars and restaurants on Lordship Lane so they won't get as much passing business or people stopping in before going to the cinema or on to eat. At the same time, there's a huge amount of homes nearby - the LL Estate, Underhill/Overhill/Melford/SC end of Wood Vale/Horniman that don't have anywhere to drink within a 10 minute walk. Come up with something that appeals to the local residents rather than passing trade and it will do well.


I don't think it's about "defending" the location - more that most of us would love somewhere to go out for a beer that involved a short walk - the Grove was always busy before it shut after the fire and Barcelona was averagely busy considering it wasn't great at food (I do miss the sangria though).

    • Hi there. I have a medium sized one:  https://www.petsathome.com/product/pets-at-home-single-door-folding-dog-crate-grey/P71660x58 Dimensions 63 x 58 x 93 cm Drop me a message if you're interested. 
    • That's interesting.   I see there are plenty of thumbnail descriptions available on the web, mainly from solicitor's practices,  of the types of citation.  I think this has the most detailed and circumspect one in some respects that I've seen so far. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/wills-and-probate/content/103565.   Other sites can probably help fill in the picture. I like the word "intermeddling".  Never come across it before, not even in a crossword.
    • It sounds like a horrendous situation and I truly sympathise. And to make it worse, he is probably handling other deceased estates in a similar manner. Given that (1) the main beneficiary is  "the typical 'friend'" and (2) the main asset has diminished in value and continues to do so (3) he will be deducting fees then there may be be nor very much left at the end of it. That being the case, I would press the case against him through the Probate Registry.  to have him passed over using a citation process.   
    • Considering the private revision study that my children undertook, perhaps 15 to 20 years ago in that library it seems a shame they have timed the refurbishment so it won't be open at this crucial time for children. But hey, so long as it's greener...
