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

    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
