A few months ago I was in the EDT watching football when a bloke came up to me and demanded know the time and if I was from "round here" - old-skool, football awayday style.


I started to tell him to politely go away, but as soon as he heard my accent he quickly changed saying something like "oh yeah, no, I can hear where you're from...sorry mate."


He then went on to rant about "all the f@@King film producers that live round here now" before moving onto someone else.

It sounds like you have fallen into bad company ;) . I used to go to all the Irish bars. I married an English girl and now Irish pubs seem to be off the agenda. But hey, we both have a Rory. :)

I often have my revenge, poor girl has to see west ham games from time to time, and Spain's win over Ireland almost made up for a decade of Ireland panning England in the rugby!!


I managed to sneak Pedro in as a middle name for El Pibi?o mark II.

Well they can go to some cheap shop, pay - what? under a pound probably? - and get some vile egg covered in mainly rusk with a tiny bit of pork hidden somewhere in it, or they can pay four quid and get a gourmet egg covered in black pudding .....


Or they can go to a chippie and get a pickled egg ....


They'll probably complain that the beer doesn't have a strange off taste, as well .....

I absolutely love the new Cherry Tree!! The new managers are fantastic and very welcoming. 12 of us booked a table last Sunday to try out their Sunday lunch! I've to to say its by far the best & most delicious roast I have eaten in ages... Apart from my own ! I ordered the slowly cooked pork belly roast! Delicious my partner hd the beef , he really enjoyed it! Really nice crowd the sun was beaming all day which helped.


Im looking forward to popping along again with more friends next Sunday. Staff were great, I think it will take a while to fill up but by far the nicest bar is ED! About time!

Did you notice if there was any hot water in there? No hot water in the Ladies although it looked up to date decoration wise. I find it hard to believe it's kosher to not have any hot water in a toilet? Hygiene?

      What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
