It's better to sit out the front. Proper sun trap.

In some ways i'm happy to see the building will used properly


BUT in some way I like its almost good/crappyness


If that makes sense, just that when these places get "done" they tend go a bit meh, all knowing bar snacks in jars & staff with swipe fobs


And "i'll be with you in a minute"


Tho i'll probably change my mind as it evolves, then love it/slag it off when it opens.


(think thats all the bases covered)

It had already become a bit meh though.

Character was only bestowed on it through the sheer diligence at effected insouciance of the identikit-hipster sixth form staff. Their training must be awesome as in all my years I never found one who let on they were, in reality, capable of spotting customers, knowing what drink was where, or doing any sort of mental arithmetic.

I've been going in there for 40 years and for the last 30 I've been dreaming that. The place went downhill after Roy Gleason left and the soul was ripped out of the place when they got rid of the booths in the public bar a few years later. I still have a soft spot for the old place as I spent so much time in there with my friends when I was much younger than I am today and so I am still an occasional visitor but usually only when the sun is out and I can sit out front and watch the world go by.

I thought maybe the sixth form bar staff was so that they'd recognise those who were in the Upper Sixth and could be served (almost) legally and those who were from the pesky Lower Fifth and refuse them alcohol - a sort of poacher turned gamekeeper idea.

And when room-size shrinkage is achieved using ECOBoards - (Bio based Panels made from agricultural residues like straw or reeds and bonded together with the natural lignine of cellulose fibres - preferably of organic stock) rather than MDF.

    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
