Jaysus how did all of this kick off? Every month we bat venues back and forth and without TOO much bother we settle on a venue. If you setup a poll what is it going to give us that we can't already work-out using pen and paper from people posting on here? Most people likely to attend have posted their preference. Anyone (and everyone) who is even considering it are urged to do the same


I think we visit pubs rather than bars for a reason - people talk more. If I think about a turnout such as last Friday's turning up on a Friday night in Adventure Bar or EDT I get a headache. I have no idea how people turning up for the first time would feel about trying to get a conversation going with those noise levels. But if people want to do it then by all means go for it


Most of the pubs mentioned already would do a perfectly good job - my preference is for one we haven't been before, or one we haven't been to for a long time. I wouldn't worry about "periphery" too much - Hooper's is probably one of the more obscure venues and look how many people came along to that

I thought we had already decided on the Wishing Well and all this was just sillybuggers.


Anyway pretty much what Sean said. Let's try somewhere we haven't been before. That is inevitably going to be somewhere in the border regions as we have been to all the SE22 pubs have been exhausted.


So Wishing Well or maybe the Rye?


Pheonix? (just to throw a curve ball)

One negative about choosing the WW is the fact that I have that Terence Trent D'arby song in my head now


I know several people know this, but for those wondering "where"? it might be of interest that it is the pub where some of Last Orders starring Michael Caine and Bob Hoskins was filmed (exterior-wise anyway)

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
