I think she can be forgiven for it, only just though.




Hmmm? I really shouldn?t be so hard on the Bishop. A few years ago a young lady once suggested that we go there on our first date. Consequently she agreed to marry me.



Although I?m not sure if what that says about her judgment reflects well or badly on the place.

I was actually refused entrance in there a few weeks back because the management had recognised that I was already in an advanced state of refreshment. Fair enough but probably no more so than 99.9-per-cent of the clientele that were already getting plastered inside it's walls. It's a pub for feck's sake. People go there to get pissed. Oh! How I celebrated. Elsewhere of course.
Blimey, I never knew it was so ill thought of. To be fair I do spend 95% of the time out the back necking tabs so am rarely actually in the place itself. So what do the Camra Pub Snobs recommend instead? Is there a fusty old backwater hostelry that stills sells Manns stout and Hofmeister I didnt know about...ah, those were the days.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
    • Highly recommend landscape gardener Jasper Davis. Jasper designed and built me a bespoke summer house.  He also transformed my garden including natural paving/sleepers and planting. Can't recommend him enough.IMG_9568.HEIC Contact Jasper on 07966 251778
    • Is anyone  replacing their clip on buggy parasol?  Looking for a foster mum friend please
    • I don't think so, sadly. The Zenoria Street indoor market failed to take off and generally speaking traders at Christmas Fairs and Farmers Markets are reporting that it isn't worth their while now. If you go to North Cross Road, the vast majority of visitors are only buying the street food! It was the same when I went to the Horniman Sunday market and second hand market yesterday. With the lack of footfall I couldn't understand how any of the traders could be making any money.
