Well if Franklins are involved I'm sure it will be good - wouldn't want them to overstretch themselves though. As siddll implies, young Rodney's not getting any younger.

One thing that no-one has mentioned is that the Mag were cool about kids. My son's 15 and I've been taking him there for about 3 years to watch football matches. So long as the kids were quietish no-one ever minded. He knew John and the bar staff and I personally think taking kids into pubs like that demystifies the whole experience and will prevent them turning into raging binge drinkers. The CPT doesn't even allow kids outside on the terrace which is ridiculous. The Castle really is too much of a boozer and the Plough is sterile and lacks any atmosphere - and it keeps to old fashioned opening hours. Ye gods, where is a girl to get a drink at 1am in the morning without walking down Lordship Lane? And yes the Mag had its unsavoury moments but it's my local and I feel really sad that it's temporarily gone and just hope it doesn't change too much.

The CPT has just changed its policy, and the old sign (no dirty workclothes, no kids etc.) is gone. There's a new sign saying 'kids welcome' in big letters, and they've started doing barbecues on Saturday lunchtimes.

For anyone that needs their Quiz fix. The Magdala quiz is moving to The Herne Tavern starting from Sunday the 10th of August at 7:30.


Pietro Herrera is still hosting and running the show, there will still be the large card game similar to 'Play your cards right' and we hope to see the regulars there with some newcomers joining in.


I'll start a new thread to discuss the quiz itself.

Oh no! That's sounds like an All Bar One type colour scheme....yuk! Please God no. Not on Lordship Lane.

It's great that they have finally gotten rid of that sign and woken up. I just find it so annoying that for the last few years, some really lovely people (okay yes they are my friends) have worked there, and had to enforce this stupid nonsense even though they never wanted to. Then the owner turns to them and says she could make the place a better earner than they had, and finally spends a couple of pounds on the place, and takes away that sign, and does something like a BBQ. All stuff they'd been suggesting for ages!!! Grr.


Good luck to the new staff there who seem very nice, but I really just want to say that the previous staff did their best there with no support!


Aaaaanyway, with regards the Mag, it would be great if they started a bit of live music, although I suspect the neighbours would disagree!

soooooooo is anyone any closer to knowing who has taken the yellow away but will still be making pizzas?


as stated above it's not going to be a chain, location too far from LL drag and there are several local watering holes currently advertising for staff. someone must know.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
