I don't want to get into personally slagging any individual off,what I will tell people is that the owner has since made personal threats towards myself which I find absolutely digusting,me and my friend were loyal members of staff working days off for no pay but to no avail,I personally paid for deliveries out of my own pocket on many occasions as the management never seemed to b around!!and now after leaving they are throwing accusations round which is totally unexceptible,there is much much more I could say but that's just not my style,when I work for an employer I always give 100% as does my friend

barrym, do not take this personally. the landlord in there is notorious for this kind of thing. it' s a total mystery how this pub is still going. i have yet to come across anyone with a good word to say about it.

if you now find yourself without work, have a wander into the 'george canning' on grove lane. the couple running it are terrific and they might be looking for a live-in chef/bar-man as the previous one has just left (under happy circumstances) to go travelling.

I'm not sure of the reason for your post, barrym but you say you have had threats made against you-that is a very serious allegation - not wise to do on a publib forum without offering any proof. I recall seeing you drinking and laughing with the management several times so can only assume the relationship has broken down quite recently. I hope the new year brings better for you.
O I have proof ok,tony made the threat to my second chef on sun,and mite I add he was there to collect money owed for deliveries I paid for months ago,needless to say we never received money for days owed,anyway to answer ur question yes I did drink with them many times till they started one by one turning on all the staff,gary twice in one week lost the plot with me shouting about a booking they were meant to confirm,I was head chef,he decided to belittle me while intoxacated infront of costomers..is that fair?and secondly my and my friend was living upstairs,with no form of heating at all,we both ended up sick for about 2weeks,wen we received electric heaters it was costing us 10pound per nite cus we had meters in our rooms so take what u like from that,u try living in them conditions, I will not b accepting being verbaly abused by a drunk man

Sounds like you're better off out of there. Letting rooms out above the pub with electric meters must be how they make their money.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
