Eeek Squeak, it's about time that place was done up! The wife and I went to have a quick shant there once and legged it when we saw the inside!


It's near me too, and definitely on the way home so I might have to give it a go!


Boring fact - I was once going to rent a flat opposite to this pub when I was a young man!

ratty - I would have agreed until recently. It's not that culturally entrenched in the UK but when I was in SF last year, more than once I was the only one without one...


Second thing that made me think again was having work give me a laptop. So I would be waiting for other half in Bar Story, paper finished and thought I would give it a go... don't knock it

OH MY GOD ITS THE F'ING IVANHOE!!!!!!!!!!!!


Excuse my incredulity, but I lived almost opposite for nigh on 20 years and it was always a dump, I went in there precisely twice.


I and anybody who could be bothered listening to me always thought that it was ideal for a thorough make-over that would attract nice, interesting people.


Last thing I had heard was that it was going to be turned into flats.


Strewth.

Nope


I checked out Hoopers tonight with Huguenot.


Nice place. Good ales (Harvey's, Brakspear and guest, porters and Belgians in bottle), it's done the place up with no gastro pretensions, just a lick of paint, a carpet clean and a smile.

Those who lament the passing of real pubs in ED might want to check it out as it's a boozer of the old CAMRA school. The main thing it seems to lack is custom, I hope it manages to fix that as it's not got much else wrong.

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "Sep, you don't even live here."   ???
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
