Not so sure, the top sign is the old one, the name over the door is QH 144

Turn the volume down please.
Why do pubs all have different names? Starbucks are all just called Starbucks. Why aren't pubs just named after the brewery? I think this could explain their demise.

Federation sell teapigs tea which is really good quality for tea bags. A mug of tea does lack the charm of a proper pot of tea though

I have come over all anti-muffin too, am craving some small sandwiches with the crusts cut off.i went in here on sat to watch the rugby as nowhere else in the vicinity was showing it..
hell. sheer hell. young children, mellow music, no volume on the sports and smug lap dogs on middle class laps. oh and no card facility. i was directed to the offie next door which charged £1.65 for a withdrawal.
Hold on, you went to watch rugby, tried to play with credit card .... and then have a go at the place for being middle class....
Bloody immigrants coming over here and moaning about our pubs. To be fair to them they've only been up and running again for a just about a week - it's more that possible that their credit stuff hasn't been sorted at pos yet.

Don't you drink in the Trinity from time to time? That's a pretty awful shirts in chino pub with all the character of a the usual Youngs identikit boozer.
Not sure if the QH is anywhere near as bad as you've made out to be fair. I've not been there since it reopened admittedly, but given that Stefan crew's sold it on to another localish character known to at least one urbanite, I think you might be barking up the wrong tree here. That's certainly a daft conclusion about Clapham anyway
It seems more than a bit harsh to write off a pub on one session anyway, particularly when you're going to bemoan the place feeling middle class and having kids in - it's a bloody afternoon when you're watching rugby after all!
In other news, people keep waxing lyrical about the Duke of E and its new management. Apparently a lot of bums on seats again in there, which is good news.

The Trinity is a proper boozer though. In fact its the best boozer in london... Not full of aspirational young families who look like they've just stepped out of some shitty christmas catalogue.
The look i got when i asked if there was a chance of putting the volume on..
Has it actually changed hands? I'd almost prefer it was still being run by that grumpy old arsenal woman.

Here's a thought, next time you go to a pub why not take some money?
It makes transactions much quicker you know.

That's good to hear, although I fear it's best days are behind it (well, for me, at least).

i like the trinity. don't think it's full of ruggershirt types at all. think maybe tarrannau and editor haven't been in there a while (although in 10 years of residence opposite the pub, i've never seen a bloke in a rugger shirt in there). the main clientele seem to be local residents and council workers.
Because it's 2010. You'd think a pub might take cards in this day and age. I rarely use cash.

well maybe you should. it's quite useful.
Then get some you plonker. You're buying a pint, not purchasing a high value item with a need for payment protection. People paying for the odd pint on a card are inconsiderate, disorganised tools in the main imo
The Trinity's pretty much an identikit Youngs boozer imo. Average beers, rubbish food... and the usual picture of the Queen mum pulling a pint. It's more anodyne rather than anything I can get worked up over.
I'm pretty sure the QH will settle down just fine to be fair. I'm not convinced that I trust the word of someone who throws a tizzy because a newly taken over pub (shock horror!) won't take cards and features - oh shit - young children at the weekend. What a shocker eh.

i like pubs with families in. what's so bad about being surrounded by kids?

since when is it not easier to hand over cash rather than go through a card transaction?

you're no fun. don't want your sort in my pub - screwfaced tutters begone

really? how?
hmm well, i dont have to wait behind the likes of you in a queue at the ATM. you, looking astonished when you get to the front and the machine asks you to insert a card, something you could have had ready while you were watching the chump in front of you struggle with the same process...I dont have to fumble for the correct change when i buy something, I dont have to have coins dropping out of my pocket when Im reclining on a couch watching the game, etc etc etc.
im sure bar staff must prefer dealing with cards too.

you're gonna have a heart attack at this rate if you're gonna let so many trivial little things bother you.
Because Gabi needs to use an abacus to count? I think he's forced himself into this daft corner and is too stubborn to admit mistake
I can't believe that it's quicker to use cards than cash. Both necessitate opening the till (cash vs receipt), but there's usually a delay as staff have to reach for the card reader rather than just bunging the cash from their hand into the till and getting change. Add to that the inevitable processing delays and some printing time and it's hard to see why the card transaction would be quicker.
Gabi sounds a pile of laughs anyhow. Too proud to carry cash, too scared of the noise of children, too prole for the QH.

Not ime. It's a faff that holds things up
The rest of your post seems to largely about personal organisation, incompetence and impatience rather than anything else.
