I saw a photo of a bar sign in Fitzrovia advertising their "burger club" - a beer and burger for only £16 every Monday! Thank f**k for corporate credit cards. There's a Wetherspoons at the corner of Edgware Road at Marble Arch. It's dearer than normal, but cheaper than some other around there. The old Marquee venue in Soho, rather sadly is a 'spoons now as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Road Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 London has a number of good old classic boozers if you know where you are going. Sadly it all seems to be family and tourist pubs these days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 See if the Winchester club is still open. Old uncle Arthur swore by it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 My tour of the south continues on Monday. Anyone know where the cheapest boozer in Taunton is? There used to be a boozer on Taunton high street called The William of Orange. But it's not there anymore.It's ok though, King Billy was apparently a hit in those parts. He's got another place nearbyhttp://www.kingwilliaminncatcott.co.uk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Fortnightly bin collections. I live in a block of 8 flats, so there's a wee area round the back where each flat has one black bin. Since we don't have separate bins for different materials, everything has to go into this one fucking bin, they can only hold about 3-4* bags each and we need to get rid of much more than that in a fortnight. Which normally results in having at least a full bag or two lying about with fucking garbage in them with nowhere else to put them once the bins are full. *and that's on a good week, if some twat hasn't started using yours after filling their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the opposite extreme - 5 wheelie bins and 2 boxes. The collection calendar looks like the periodic table and the bin men just ignore it anyway. We're lucky, we have a bit of garden. There's other houses round here where you can barely get to the door for bins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 You get what you deserve for calling it 'garbage.' Thought I'd go with 'garbage' for its dirtier connotations. I feel it emphasise the inconvenience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty more on Bayswater Road and Queens way, maybe a bit pricey for WeareElgin. The Leinster claims to have been Michael Winner's local. It's even better now he's dead. Brilliant food and beer. Edited September 25, 2016 by Sergeant Wilson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre usually well priced with the Alpine lager a favourite of mine Whilst the Alpine is decent, at only 2.4% it's a driving lager, utterly pointless, it's a real shame they changed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't always that % was it? Haven't had it for ages but I'll be gutted if I was frizzling away my premise on 2.4% nonsense 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
