Jah- I think Caffeine Addict has every intention of getting out more - when he/she actually moves to the area any day now


Caffeine Addict - a quick google will reveal the location of most of thos pubs mentioned, or you could have a peek in

Snorky, sometimes of this parish, has written some very entertaining reviews on the latter site

I briefly lived in Basingdon Way, and I heard rumours of a "characterful" pub in the nearby area. I guess this must be it.


EDOldie seems to be a fan of this place and The Castle, could I deduce that the two places are cut from the same cloth?

As ever we have widely differing views as to where we should go - and many thanks for the ideas.


We did say some time ago that we would try and alternate ED venues with ED fringe venues and we would try and include pubs and bars. Logically as Hoopers is ED Fringe then the next venue should be in ED, equally we havent been in a Bar for some time.


T'Social Committee are pondering and will make a decision in the very near future, because someboy has to.


Our suggestion for next year is that we come up with a 12 month rota of dates and venues. This will include ED and ED fringe venues, a range of hostelry types and will take into account the practicalities of travel, the season (venues with Gardens seem sensible in the Summer, being hopeful) and the mainstream appeal of places. What do you think of that idea?


Once completed is there anywhere on the Forum the rota could be placed for reference purposes?

The Greendale had a certain reputation, shared by many council estate pubs, of being a bit rough around the edges.


Oriwisu spot now reflects much the new demographic of the greendale estate of being a Nigerian pub, and seemed as safe as any pub I've been to in ED.


It's a bit cheap formica, with carpet that can set your hair alight if you're wearing polyester, but the staff are friendly, the clientele vary between welcoming to nonplussed at a bunch of strangers in their pub.


But the beer is fine and damnably cheap, and it has a pool table and isn't averse to a gold old lock-in.

This seems to be an ongoing and significant issue. I therefore propose that, the Social Committee form a Sub-Committee responsible for the venue rota for the monthly booze up. The Sub-Committee should then set up a Working Group for each month who will submit a shortlist of 3 venues to the Sub-Committee for approval one month prior to the booze up for which they are responsible. The Sub-Committee will then rate the three venues in order of preference before submitting them for approval to the Social Committee.


The Social Committee will then commission a Life-Panel for each suggested venue. The Life-Panels will take advice from the other Sub-Committees which will also have to be established such as, The Sub-Committee for Seasonal Affairs, The Sub-Committee for the Availability of Draught Beer, The Sub-Committee for the Variety of Draught Beer, The Wine List and Nibbles Sub-Committee, The Overall Scrumminess Sub-Committee and the Sub-Committee for the Avoidance of Unnecessary Bureaucracy (a sub-committee to an overarching group called The Advisory Panel on Ostentatious Officialdom or A POO)


The Life-Panels will them make a final recommendation on the suitability of each suggested venue to the Social-Committee who by this time will have fallen out with everyone and gone to the Wishing Well.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
