Agreed Re: the Foresters. Wasn't so happy with the pub dog jumping up on the tables, but it wasn't as bad as people make out. Was it the Millwall fans and the big screen that put people off? They were a more open and varied crowd in there than you get now.


I also miss the large fruit'n'veg stall with the bloke with the flat hat 'n' beard (also a Foresters regular - not surpisingly as it was right next door) and his female accomplice. Very handy that place was.

I certainly do. I lived right opposite in Quorn Rd at the end of the 80s and used to nip in there all the time at two or three in the morning for a little bit of gear and half dozen Red Stripes.

jah those were the days, i had my first ever toke of skunk in that place how i ever made it back up the road i,ll never know, but i remember waking up and there was a kitten in the kitchen which i had somehow or other picked up on the way back, happy days.
Wha'ppen Spadetownboy, you probably floated back up the road I should think. I lived there way before the paranoia, schizoprenia inducing skunk came on the scene and if I was lucky I usually got a little Sensimillia with my Red Stripes. Proper sensible herb. The Weed of Wisdom.>:D

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
