Inspired a bit by Snorks


1) Greenwich Market - all chains, tourists and tourist tat in the market compared to all the loads of different areas/markets back in the day

2) Shoreditch/Old Street - twats with beards and Essex boys, used to be fun up there

3) Upton Park - generally far quieter, just a pitiful handfull of songs, er somewhat safer for visitors

4)The EDF

Glastonbury - pre-fence wild and crazy rock n roll... now Wayne Rooney, Orange mobile and Jay Z.

Carnaby Street- Recent makeover has helped bring it out of 80's leather jacket hell but it's 1967 heyday has long gone.

Adventure Bar - vs before it was Adventure Bar.

Granada Service stations - perhaps it was because I was a kid in the 1980's. But they seemed like places of dreams. Now overcrowded Moto KFC toilets with people in there that you never see anywhere else.

definitely Borough market, La Rueda (Clapham), Duke of Edinburgh (Ferndale Rd), The Far Side (Stockwell Rd), The Abbey Arms (canning town).


ETA: The disappointment on revisiting some of these may owe as much to the past being a foreign country as the establishments themselves being 'crappier'


Oh, and yes, Upton Park - The scrapping of the South Bank for the BM stand was one step - but it's all gone really quiet over there since they moved the West Stand back and put up the disneyesque Castle-Facade.

Agreed. People say it was a shit hole, but I'd say it only got really bad the last couple of years, at one point I really liked it.

Yes .. But it was our sh*t pub ...and I had friends there.

Genuine decent people who looked after each other.


A few rough diamonds too..


But all in all characters... Colourfull characters.


Some sadly no longer with us.


Obviously not up market enough for you..

      Resident Doctors

      By ianr · Posted

      This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
