That is SO naff!! I never go there but still....

It almost makes me want to turn up dressed like 'Honey G' in full on shell suit look accesorised  with a hard hat and a pair of paint spattered workboots just in order for this to 'sedate' 65year old to tell them they need to get a grip or move to Orpington when they tell me I'm not 'suitably attired' and therefore cannot enter their establishment.

It is a bit provincial.  I assume it is a way to keep out groups who have caused trouble in the past if they need to?  I doubt middle aged ladies turning up in trainers and a hoodie are going to be turned away.

You do sometimes see those signs in central London pubs, usually on football derby days or ones near construction sites.    On the latter I am not sure if builders are particularltly badly behaved in pubs or if they think their more middle class clientele would be offended by the sight of a load of blokes in work boots and plaster spattered trousers.

To be fair, anyone wearing a hard hat & tool belt after 8 pm is either seven Stellas into a post-site session or a member of a Village People tribute band. Neither is particularly appealing.

The hat/hood thing is pretty commonplace in loads of places now, not just Bromley - it's for CCTV.

They've had a few problems in there in the past, you can see why they've had to make some changes. 

Strangely enough, curing the gents of the pong probably won't have helped. You could barely go in there without holding your breath, let alone take a great, big nasal draught of something.

Along with actress it was sold to GK.

Going back further it was part of Scott's chain. The actress (formerly uplands) was named to go with "actress and bishop ".

It got the name Bishop to match Castle in Camberwell. 

Before that Foresters Arms.

There was a competition to name the old Uplands when it was taken over by the person  who owned the Bishop,  and "The Actress" won for obvious reasons 🤣

The Foresters was vile (in my opinion).

I'm interested that there are still problems with the smell from the Gents, because in the Foresters days you could smell it as soon as you went in, and my memory is that  it felt like you were squelching your way over the carpet, though I'm sure that can't have been true 🤣

    • Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!
    • How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
    • I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
    • What's your answer, then? Should the council raise council tax to employ double or treble or more the number of workers to spend all their time clearing leaves from every street every day? Leaves have been cleared from my street several times since leaf fall began, including as I say very recently. It's impossible to keep every street permanently clear, and the situation is made worse by heavy rain. My partner broke his ankle in several places a year or so back when he slipped on wet leaves. He didn't blame the council.
