Did this really exist back in the good old days or is it load of old romanticising cobblers, used simply to dress up some of societies more undesirable characters in their sunday best?


Perhaps it still exists now. Anyone with a bit of 'knowledge' care to shed some light on this?

All anonymous like. Gertcha!

I remember talking to a sucessful old time bank robber / gangster who had his fingers in a lot of pies and he had very cordial relations with the old bill and told me that it was not uncommon for him and his ilk to grass on rivals in order to take over some of their business if they had become 'too' sucessful. So I don't really think that there was any honour amongst those theives.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
