(interesting that two of his colleagues tried to cover it up, but one broke ranks with some whistleblowing)

More positively, did people know there used to be a recording studio for women under The Rio?

not for long
I went back to my old stomping ground and went to the Crooked Billet last night. Very nice I thought.... the only other 'new' Clapton boozer I've been to was the Clapton Hart 18 months ago which was absolutely horrendous and I vowed never to return.

I go to both - was in the billet last night as well
and I like both tbf

Perhaps I went to the Hart on the wrong night, was a Saturday and it was absolutely mobbed.... so noisy I couldn't hear a word any of my pals were saying, nowhere to stand, let alone sit and the bar staff were completely overwhelmed and it took at least half an hour to get served - not fun.

it does get mobbed later - I usually have a few after work - when it is quieter

The Billet is better than the Clapton Hart for three key reasons. The bar isn't 4 foot long, it has a much better garden, and its closer to me.
Went down the Adam and Eve last night to check it out in post-op form. They've not changed too much and don't seem to have alienated the locals. We then went to the Bonneville for a pint and found they have Bruges Zot on tap. Lovely.

This is pretty amazing from Pipe:
Hipsters are not to blame for Hackney's woes, says mayor
The Mayor of Hackney has hit back at claims by Pauline Pearce that the borough is being spoilt by an influx of hipsters who are driving up prices and alienating locals
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...ot-to-blame-for-Hackneys-woes-says-mayor.html
It's not like he, as elected head of the council, has anything to do with Hackney's woes either, it seems.

from pipe's article
i had a look at this exciting new work experience scheme recently, which seemed to be more about placing hackney youth as shop assistants or bartenders in hipster joints.
