I suppose it is a fair price for an imported Cornish beer - but I was expecting (hoping for) more local beers (like the Crystal Palace Bitter the Draft House had a couple of weeks back for ?2.75 a pint).

Well maybe they do - online for free. Why buy the paper? The Guardian's continuing losses in the tens of millions a year are only sustained by the cash cow of the GMG's "Auto Trader" sell-off. Liberal eco-awareness being subsidised by the petroleum economy. Nice irony there.

Mind crushingly dull debates on the merits of The Guardians funding model, stance and reason for being can be had on other threads. I'm wanting live chickens, warm bread and a pea garden. Roof grown rosemary and crane lifted cow.


And at least one pint of Bishops sock under ?4 to keep the old guard happy.

I understand they are tied to one brewery. Therefore they can't sell other

ales , only what that brewer has, and they have to pay that brewer's prices.


I think that's right but I

stand to be corrected.


Don't know if that applies to bottled ales as well.


The Mag always had Doombar, or sometimes Landlord, and sold it at a similar price.


It was always going to be an issue for The Patch, as discussed on here ad nauseam months ago

, at the time they were trying to raise community funding.


I agree it's a great pity for a self styled community pub not to sell local ales, if that is actually the case.


The Ivy House does.


Sorry for odd formatting am on my phone.

Very disappointing beer selection... After the selections at flying pig and ivy house, it's very much a step back


If sue is correct and they are brewery tied there isn't much they can do about it. They are probably as annoyed as the customers


That said, I did pay 3 pound something for a pint of lager which is cheaper than most places around here

The more I hear of The Patch, the less interested I am in going. It seems to have taken the less appealing, up-its-own-bum with pretention aspects of ED and gone a step further.


Which seems sad for a new place.


Hope I'm wrong - but the prices, the menu, the abysmal student style graffiti-art

Yes, I too am confused by all of that.


Discussed ad nauseam on a long-ago thread.


I don't understand how they can make any of those claims, but hope to be enlightened in due course.

      Foxes, and how to get rid

      By Sue · Posted

      Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄

      Dogs out today in unbearable heat

      By beansprout · Posted

      Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.

      Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".

      I’m beginning to think YOU are an AI agent at this point  would be less troubling than you actually believing all this stuff
