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.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
