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)

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
