Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

[Thimble Queen]

Absolutely not...

Bloody ridiculous! Like so your only allowed to stand up to go to the bar, have a piss and leave? What is this shit

 

[Maharani]

Are there many in?

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I just asked the guy what happens if all the seats are taken. Will you turn people away?

He said 'don't think this pub has had that problem for some time'

'You'd be surprised...'

'Well...we'll deal with that if it happens. I saw you looking at the menu a couple of times...see anything you like?'

'Too many carbs for me, mate.'

'Perhaps as a treat?'

'A £9 hot dog aint a treat. Its just a bad investment'

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Are there many in?

Those that came went after being told to sit down!

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Conversation 2:

'So is the Symonds off'

'yes, I think it's off'

'Think or know'

'I think I know'

'Well how about I STAND HERE at the bar while you go and know for sure'

'Ok...'

Am I bad?

 

[Maharani]

Bunch of mugs.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I'm gonna enjoy winding this lot up....

 

[Maharani]

There will be blood...

 

[gaijingirl]

I just popped into the Co op and I would like to nominate Julieta as the loveliest person working there. Every time I go in she has the sweetest, kindest smile and always has something nice to say.

Hipster control mechanisms. A more stringent form of social control than the last lot of wannabe gentrifiers who wanted to turn tulse hill hill into a place they live in and not a place they joined. Reclaim Tulse Hill anyone?

 

[Maharani]

Or maybe a bun fight or two??

 

[Nanker Phelge]

My, soon to be 18 year, just said 'so the last owners quit cos they made no money and the new owners want to keep people out? Weird!'

 

[Crispy]

This is hilarious
(if it wasn't so sad to see a pub going out of business over and over and over)

 

[Nanker Phelge]

You can have a sarnie for a tenner

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Oh...their mates can stand at the bar....

 

[discobastard]

Oh...their mates can stand at the bar....

Oh I can't wait to give this a go...

 

[Sister Midnight]

Mass stand-in protest

 

[Nanker Phelge]

And there were no hats!

 

[Maharani]

No hats allowed?

Right, I'm going in with my trainers and a hat on...tell me they're allowing jeans?!

It's like going out in Newcastle in the 90's...

 

[GypsyWings]

The White Hart is open.

Cash only.

No standing allowed. You have to sit at a table with your drink

I am yet to challenge this..but give me 5 minutes.

3 beardy hipster are running the bar.

Menu is pulled meat in buns...dawgs (hot dawgs) and sharing plates...

Oh and there's a cocktail menu.

This sounds ridiculous, seriously its a pub not a restaurant, no trainers, unbelievable, will give them 8 months

 

[Maharani]

are they really gonna stop a massive group of people coming in wearing trainers? Come on TH urbs let's test them out!

Mate. I'm in.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I think they will bend quite quickly given the amount of hipsters in retro trainers that will want to go in and suck their pulled pork!

Hats was a joke...

I was wearing jeans, a hoodie and desert boots. I walked (I was on the phone). Bloke said 'it's cash only and you have to drink sat at a table.

I hovered about talking on phone, perched on edge on the arm of a sofa, and he came over and asked me to sit down.

An guy came in with trainers and he turned him away saying 'sorry no trainers'

There were a couple of old regulars in there and their faces were a picture. They left after one drink.

I did make a joke to one of them (loudly)...'you sit still and drink that quietly!'

The tall beard wasnt very impressed.

I grinned at him.

I suspect I'll be barred fairly quickly.

 

[Greebo]

Mate. I'm in.

So'm I. The only question is old and beaten up trainers, or clean new ones?

 

[Maharani]

Any!

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Well....I'm away to Dublin again now, so keep me updated, folks. I look forward to hearing your experiences.

Oh, they repainted the bogs all white, but other than that they're still shit.

 

[Maharani]

They also have fancy screening on the windows and their meat is free range.

So when's the meet up Urbs? I can do Friday night.

 

[pesh]

free range hot dog

 

[ohmyliver]

I'm in (although I need to check if I have chucked out if I've thrown out my very, um, distressed plimsoles (they count as trainers, right?) first.)

 

[discobastard]

I've got plans Friday but might drop by tonight and see how the land lies. In a pair of hybrid trainer/boots. Need to stress test this rule.
