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.

    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you! 
    • Good to hear Sue - I  love Franklin’s  Although to be fair it would be a mad world where decades old local institution couldn’t do much better than (gawd help us all) a generic Youngs pub  (I had better meals in that place when it was the vale and ran by the Murphia. And that was fairly poor food even then )
