I'm definitely interested in tomorrow's announcement on the EPS and Saxons.

14. Ashton

13. Turner-Hall

12. Twelvetrees/Hooper

11. Strettle (Sharples would be on the bench)

10. Farrell (Hodgson on the bench if things aren't going well)

9. Youngs (Dickson as first replacement)


8. Easter

7. Woods ©

6. Robshaw

5. Borthwick (alongside Easter, adds some experience in a young pack)

Are you going to any games jacks09? I'm hoping to be at Hoopers pub for most (if not all the) games. It's a good rugby-loving crowd there.

At Hoopers there is a big projection screen at the back of the main bar (nr the gents). There is another tv at the front of the bar and another in the snug. Given the timing of the six nations, I suspect two will show the rugby and one will have some football.


Jamie, the owner, is a big rugby nut and you get a rugby loving and knowledgable crowd for the games unlike most other local pubs.


More than happy to have a few halves with you, Help-Me-Boab. With Scots and English blood I'm always torn on that game but if you're going to be there I'll cheer on the men in white just to make it interesting.


Can we interest MrBen and other ED-based Scots?

Think I'll give Hoopers a whirl then for the opening game. Always feels like the winter gloom is lifting once the 6 Nations starts. Burns the weekend before so will be on a major Scottish jag come the 4th Feb....


After having a fairly dry January, LASERS will firmly be set tae MALKY!.....CHARGE.

LASERS will firmly be set tae MALKY!.....CHARGE.


Always wondered what that expression meant: according to wiki here:


Malky / Malkie - slang term originating from Glasgow & the West coast of Scotland, used to describe slashing someone with an open razor. Comes from the rhyming slang Malcom (Malky) Fraser (Razor).


Is that right?

Many of us regulars have rallied round and written to the authorities asking that the complaint not be upheld.

At the time Jamie asked us to let our opinion be known it was 1-1 so I'm pretty confident that in terms of wider input into the case the pro hoopers lobby has done well.


Fingers crossed, and see you all there.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
