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.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful    
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
