Hey apologies didn't mean to offend those who put in the time and energy to get the pub up and running.


Thanks for flagging up the community open day on the 7th of March.


Unfortunately it clashes with Southwark Homeowners conference although that finishes at 5pm.


If you want I can take a couple of tupperware boxes along and bring sandwiches back in the evening guys? The council always overdo it at these events...:).


Offering this as I'm aware the Ivyhouse management committee were reluctant to appoint auditors even after the floor tried to explain these could be non elected members and would not cost like external auditors do and there is unlikely to be any freebies (sandwiches) for existing shareholders.


If you think my offer to purloin a few sandwiches is strange I'd like to know why you think it's not strange to appoint auditors particularly prior to launching another share release and where the committee admitted there was a hole in stock? What exactly are funds being used for?


Having a party is one way of keeping people sweet I suppose.


No doubt we'll be hoping a lot of prospective shareholders will be woooooed! so further 'local/community' events can be organised.


K.

I find it quite appalling that the staff went on strike at the Ivy House over pay and conditions. I'll wager that they were already being paid a decent barstaff wage with it being community owned, rather than a ruthless pubco like Young's. I'd have dismissed them all on the spot.

Do you actually know the background to this?


If not, maybe better not post?

Many pubs I go to have told me that with the East European staff exodus bar staff aren't as easy to come by these days.


If we have to pay more for bar staff due to supply and demand then prepare to pay slightly more for a pint (I notice I'm already paying ?6 plus in some pubs)

What a shame that the Brothel is no longer open on Underhill Road as this may have provided alternative employment. How and why would you have sacked them on the spot? I'm not particularly sympathetic to the staff at that time but your post does amuse me. What is a decent wage by the way?

Hey Katesonic,


We get that you don?t like the place now however there is non need of spreading false information around, you should have done some more research instead of just posting a thread like this.


It?s very disappointing to see people post like this just because a place doesn?t please them...


Anywhoos, peace and love ✌️

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
