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 did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
