That's a shame. I thought that Network Rail had agreed that existing tennants would be helped back post-refurb... have I got confused?

I really dislike the Florence - in particular with the kids.
In a perfect world, a no mark like him would respond to something else and mend his ways.
In a perfect world, the scorn of three women would have silenced him.
We're not in a perfect world and IMHO you did no more than was reasonable. AFAIK you've also done your share of getting us closer to that perfect world with your consistently antiracist stance.

thats a good point but does it outweigh:
- most of the seating is either too high or too low
- its full of children in the daytime
- its full of teenagers in the evening
- the beer isn't usually good

I know it's being redeveloped, but I was wondering why they hadn't been invited back?

But wasn't there some line about 'working with businesses to help relocate and return if they want' (or something like that).

No, they told me they clearly weren't welcome back. Their lease term is different from the rest of that block. NR want more restaurants to replace the current normal high street shops.
In other depressing news No 22 owner has closed - still waiting for insurance money from the floods. friendofdorothy out Italian landlord friend could be losing his flat because of it.

You're full of shit news

Number 22 is a bit pricey but went there for a treat a few weeks ago and thought it was great and they seemed busy so thought everything was going ok

so had a conversation today with basically the most reliable source of all re this, who I don't think would mind me sharing it.. a brasserie type restaurant, run by Railway, Tulse Hill guy - they've got a former Shoreditch House manager in to manage it (hence the Shoreditch House rumours).

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Opening as a brasserie, and not a bar/club, might be what it needs. It's never had much luck with the neighbors holding late events/music etc...

well that was exactly the jist of the conversation - its fundamental unsuitability as a music venue due to its construction, amongst other things.

Pity we can't trade with Network Rail and give them The Florence, The Commercial and I'd be happy to throw in the Regent for good measure.

Then there'd only be OTC to drink in though and I don't have any hats

...and there's the question no one's asking. Will OTC be OK after all the arch related giggery-pokery? Us habitual hat wearers need to know.

The OCT hats moment is sadly going be my finest ever U75 moment isn't it? Aside from the nankernobantics.

There's a garage sale in the garages beside Dorchester Court today and tomorrow.

Just hear from a friend who said she was there last week and it was freezing - no fire and doors open too much.
I used to meet a lots of people in the Commercial and very few of them go there regularly anymore. She said she doesn't like it much now as the service is indifferent.
No, IMHO your finest was chasing that racist and sexist arsehole out of the Pub the other week and teaching him a much needed lesson in manners.
