> The Shed/the Shelf/North Bank Higbury


I was in the North Bank in 1990 when we (the gooners) were playing you (the twats) and there was a small group of about 8 people in the North Bank lower tier who broke into a song:


West Ham in the North Bank

West Ham in the North Bank

TA LA LA LAAA


Please tell me it was not you.



[Oh and by the way you do not have to call it the North Bank "Highbury" - we all know where the fecking North Bank is.........]

The Barley Lea? The Farmstead? Or the perils of Whitworth Avenue? Or a mere dalliance near Macbeth's chippy on Acorn Street?


As someone raised on this estate I am intrigued (but not offended - I did grow up there)... when and where Citizen?

I took a mate of mine from Essex (Billericay) there for a beer once as it was the only place still open late in SE5 on a Bank Holiday Monday, he was a good looking lad and soooooooooo Essex, so it was quite fun.

The first night I moved in to a residential training place for my job, we all went out and got drunk and got to know each other.


Later that night I half drunk, half sleep walked in to another blokes room, and tried to get in to bed with him.


He was afraid... VERY afraid.

I was out with a (female) gay student from the art college for her 21st. The pubs had shut, so she took us there... I went for a wee at one point, and the loos were an intimidating place.


I have never finished a pint and left a place so quickly!

    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead
