Exactly right, which is how my dad knew him. He was always really good to me, and he always had some filthy jokes to share. He moved with his new wife to Norfolk (I think) around the turn of the century, and unfortunately died a couple of years ago (or maybe more). Very young to go, but he used to drink gallons of vodka, and I think he'd had 3 heart attacks before 30.


Really lovely bloke.

turn of the century - that's the first time I have seen that term referring to 2000... makes me feel old for some reason.

Now I don't want to be pernickety and it may be because it was their 25p/wing night (every Tuesday) but visited the Flying Pig again tonight - 8pm and it was standing room only.

Titch, I ate there last night and the menu is almost identical to the NYE menu on Facebook:

Food wise it was one of the best meals I can say I've ever had locally (?70 for two for two courses, bread, water plus four large drinks). I actually preferred it to ToastED in terms of more conventional portions. Also spotted... another regular forumite in there with one of the best "I didnt realise it doesn't comes with chips" ever. :-)


Nice atmosphere and for a Tuesday in early Jan I counted about 30 covers with 12 or so at the bar. I looked out for Foxy peering through the windows but didn't see him.


Maxxi - Wing night? I'm in!

Hello Mr. Ben,


I think that your coverage on last night's event at The Patch was very accurate. I was there last night as well and I would agree with your comments on the food and so forth. However, I must agree with the other forumite that you spotted and the inability to order side orders.


I also noticed that the tables are well spaced apart, so I must congratulate you on your sharp ears with regard to picking up the other forumite's comment. :)

    • The estate agents are *supposed* to act on behalf of the sellers but they often don’t. They want to get the sale through asap so they can get their commission.  There should be a sellers information pack to accompany the sale.  Have you seen one for this property?         
    • There have been at least two or three threads on the topic in the last couple of years. I'm afraid they'll all confirm that you assumed wrongly.  I remember looking into it myself and finding nothing to assist anyone who made the same assumption. While recently having a look through the Townley Road appeals decided in 2023, I came across this determination that also clearly spells it out. 31/3/23 Reasons     Mr X appeals against two Penalty Charge Notices. He argues that they have only been issued in order to make money for the council. Mr X states that the restrictions were introduced to make it safe for school students in the morning and afternoon and that as both 26th December 2022 and 2nd January 2023 were public holidays there was no purpose in enforcing the restriction. The appellant states that he was driving to collect an elderly relative. Townley Road is a route that is for buses, cycles and taxis only Monday to Friday 8-9am and 3-4.30pm. The restriction is in operation every Monday to Friday whether or not schools are on holiday or if it is a bank or public holiday. There was no indication on the sign that the prohibition was not being enforced on either Monday 26th December or Monday 2nd January. I have seen the CCTV footage in relation to each contravention. I have also  seen photographs of the signs and camera car footage that show the signs  and warning signs. I find that the signs are clear and that there is sufficient  warning of the restriction to enable a driver to take an alternative route. I find that each contravention occurred. I refuse both appeals.
    • I suggest you write to the estate agent asking specific questions and request a written response. Otherwise they will tell you anything to get a sale.
    • Hello, I walked past this a few minutes ago on the corner of Shawbury Road X Lordship Lane. Had a look, put it back but then saw the cut security chain as well 20 meter down the road and thought someone definitely is missing at least some handlebars. If they are still there when I come back I can take them in as I live on the next street, please DM me to arrange pickup if they belong to you.   --- UPDATE: 20:02 PM, it's still there.   I've decided not to touch it again or take it with me as it's oily and the wife will not appreciate it.
