Shanter "noun": Generic Portsmouth term for any ale house.


I am popping out for a quick shant - I am going to the pub for a beer.

I have been on the shant since 9 this morning - I am inebriated due to my desire to drink alcohol from an innapropriate time of the day.

I am totally shanted - blow me, I seem to have vomitted all over the cat again!

Feel free Mockney! There are a few Portsmouth exiles in the ED area (and yes, we are all obese drug addicts!) so you may get some knowing looks when using the term, but as you point out, it can be used instead of 3 alternative words so it must be good!


13 mins until I am out of here for my particular shant! Rye Tavern Garden me thinks!


SHANT ON!

    • Hi, hoping for a bit of help from the forum hive mind so thanks in advance.... Our property on Barry Rd was included in the External Major works that took place in 2022 (Dulwich Externals QHIP 19/20 Street Properties).  Recently we have discovered that Saltash, the contractors who carried out the work, basically patched and painted instead of fixed or replaced rotten window frames and didn't do anything to the cracked brick work which has now caused a bad case of damp in our property. Does anyone whose property was included in the works have information of any warranty or guarantee of work that was promised by Saltash or the council? As we moved in just before the work took place we weren't privy to the original communications around the work and I'd like to know where we stand before approaching the council to get it fixed..  Thanks!
    • used to love Meson don felipe with the funny guitarist who used to climb up and play on a podium, still a nice lively atmosphere and we still pop in if at the young vic but there's a lot better Spanish eateries near Borough market which is closer to the Tate too. Barrafina, Brindisa (though neither are cheap) and a few weeks ago we tried one called Parrillan, where they bring a little grill to your table and you cook your own tapas - this one certainly ticks the box for quirky but the portions are small so the bill can mount up.
    • Their finest moment...
    • How about Ev or one of the other places under the railway arches in Isabella Street behind The Cut.  And there's leafy outdoor seating if the weather's nice.
