Crikey, I go back to bed for a little snooze and all the once-a-week drinkers pop their head up over the parapet and discover their 'sense of humour.' I wasn't pointing the finger at you *Bob* in particular but it would seem to me a lot of people only go to the pub once a week to eat a Sunday roast with the wife and kids.


How many threads have we had in the past on this forum that ask "where's the best place to go for a Sunday roast?" Quite a few I suspect.

It was just a throwaway comment!


The Clock House has long been noted for its shite food - it just seemed worth mentioning. Since we're on the subject (if you're listening, Clock Housers), there was a little less beef than I would have liked and it was expensive. But rather that than, say, ?9.50 somewhere else for a crap plate of food with a generous pile of rubbery beef.


On the subject of 'boozers', they have their place and (of course) I like/have liked them as much as everyone else does/did - but they just can't operate successfully everywhere these days. That's all there is to it.

What a load of b*llocks. A pub is for drinking, not eating. Anyone who goes to a pub and bases their entire opinion on the establishment around the food is in the wrong place. Sick of foodies dictating what a pub should or shouldn't be like. The most you should expect in the way of gastronomy in a public house should be a pack of scampi fries or some ready salted.

Yeah, with you Louisa, I was happy with some sweaty cheese or ham rolls and a scotch egg. How times change, eh?!


I wouldn't touch a pickled egg even if threatened at gun point though. I have a hardy constitution but it isn't that hardy. Like wise pork scratchings or "pig's toenails" as we used to call them.

Jeremy a Sunday roast may well have been sold in pubs which otherwise didn't do food, but most people who ate them didn't specifically go to the establishment for it. More often than not, they were pissed up pub goers with the munchies who would snack on any old crap. People who go out of their way to visit a pub for food need to get a life. The alcohol should take priority and food should always be a secondary thought if hungry whilst there.

    • The Peckham Rye Park heron was eyeing up two quite large cootlets on Sunday. Their parents were swimming around them and presumably trying to protect them. We couldn't understand why the coots  didn't swim off, but as they were under a large tree branch, maybe the heron would have been better able to catch one of the chicks in open water. It eventually gave up and flew off. Crikey they have vicious pointy beaks, herons! Is it for spearing fish?
    • The OP asked for advice from people on the internet. People who replied were trying to be helpful.  
    • Citizens Advice Bureau may be able to help, as they have connections with various relevant people/organisations. Your GP surgery may have access to a "social prescriber" who can similarly help.  I was referred to the  one attached to my GP surgery when I was very stressed with external issues. There used to be a community police officer in every neighbourhood, and if they still exist, I would say they should be your first port of call. I'm so sorry. It is so stressful living with nasty neighbours, although I agree finding out that other neighbours have also had issues with them at least makes you feel that it is not just you they are targeting. As regards the apparently poisoned plants and trees, if you know someone who is a member of the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society), they have access to a free advice service, who I'm sure could help pinpoint the likely cause of death. Unfortunately I didn't renew my membership this year, otherwise I would have offered to help.
