It's really rain...
If anything like today's rain, they can stick their summer cup; I'll be wanting mulled cider at the least!

I gave La Casa a 2nd go the other week, mainly cos Nanker Jnr has a crush on the waitress. It was alright again. I still think it's priced a little on the high side for what you get, but they are pleasant enough. I still think that location is eternally doomed though..eating next door to a bookies and it's assortment of tenant's extra rag tags don't really cultivate an appetite for me..

Note: The people who took over and gave it the first stripped down makeover in Dec 2013 gave up and quit in April 15, passing it on to the current shoreditchians, who have been reopened for around 2 weeks. The current ones have all the daft rules, the previous ones were just daft.
So this is the second lot in 2 years...

Someone who was almost certainly posting from the pub ("5 pound cocktails are unbelievable, using only the freshest ingredients & the highest quality alcohol.") has added a slightly odd comment to the article.

" I am impressed with how they have taken the place from a dark dive with lets be honest some unsavory characters to a bright & inviting space."
Just that really.

I have been accused of that many a time!
The more serious point is that I think it is better to stick to the real issue rather than picking on things that aren't pertinent. Yes it's possible to bitch about paying £10 for a pulled pork bun but actually that's cheaper than the Great North Wood up the road. So it's a non-issue. And nobody has actually tried one - they might be great (if you like that kind of thing - and if you don't then nobody is being forced).
If people start ranting about this kind of stuff (IMO) it dilutes and undermines the original argument/issue i.e. the attempts to rid themselves of people 'not like them'.

It cracks me up how people seem to think they're dead smart making the connection between Mike, Urban75 and Brixton Buzz....ha ha ha

I've posted what I consider to be a reasonable reply...

Good to see that all six people that have drunk in the pub since it re-opened have commented on the BB story. That's 100% engagement - the pub must be proud!

Ok - so - to demonstrate some balance...
I popped into the hart tonight. I was sat alone for 1/2 hr before anyone else came in, however the mood seemed to a have shifted a little.
The sit down thing is still in place, I still don't get it, likely I never will. I'm a bit thick like that.
All three people working there were polite and welcoming. The beard has been shorn, his hair too. A disguise? I dunno. They are well aware I'm a pain in the arse (they told (warned) me on Saturday that they 'knew who I was'), and just played it down. They wasn't so unwelcoming and defensive. They tried a little harder.
I decided not to test it too much, I was my usual self, which is testing enough. It was pleasant...or as pleasant as I ever get.
A previous local popped in, trainers, not especially smart (if anyone knows rockin' bill, he's a gent) with some friends. They were treated nicely, stayed for one, moved on. Bill tends to do the triangle before going home anyway. Not unusual for him to sink one and get going.
A couple of couples came in for cocktails, one couple ordered food. It's big food, carbs, not really something I would eat. I have to say when the pizzas used to come out the place was alive with smells that made you want a pizza. The food coming out tonight seemed odourless. it reminded me of the adverts in the cinema from the 70s. Colourful, fattening, beg your parents for it and then wish you hadn't....if yer know what I mean?
Beard was most attentive, he was grafting. I think there might be a humble man in there yet. The guy with the foreign accent, and I've no idea where from, is very sweet. He could crack a very tough nut with his his people skills. He may have almost cracked me.
The 3rd guy, asian fella, is still ansty, but less so, he did say hi to me, he made some effort. I wonder if he is nervous of the attention that has been shone upon them. I don't think he is a bad guy, I don't think any of them are really. I think they've made some misjudged decisions and they will probably make more. I think the Mary issues was a very bad call, and I'd still like to see some response to that.
Overall, my opinion is the mood has lightened a little, trainers were present, some people were in, and the feeling wasn't awful.
...that's about the size of it....as Kevin Rowland would say!

Make no mistake, I still feel the Mary issues needs to be addressed.

I'm very much with you on that. And interesting to hear how things have shifted a bit - no doubt down to people making their thoughts known.
I enjoyed reading it - you have a fine turn of phrase there Nanker

I'm not out to 'get' anyone'. I just take massive offence when people I know that have drank in the Hart for many years feel like they can't even step foot in there.
There are bigger fights to fight in our immediacy granted, but on a local level I just feel this is important to address.
