I thought that's what they might be but I know them as pinxtos.

I've only had pinxtos (in the Basque country, Bilbao in my case - or Pinchos in other bits of Northern Spain where I lived for a while) as tapas like things but on sticks - not necessarily pickled though - could be anything.

I think they have got the name slightly wrong. Banderillos are olives, onions and gherkins on sticks. I've had them in Spain.

just called them, I couldn't take it any longer.. they are onions and gherkins on sticks so I think you're right about them spelling the name wrong.. it's banderillas - not pinxtos or banderitos (although of course you could have them as a subset of pinxtos I guess!).
 
anyway - they'd better be some special pickled onions for £7.50 'cos they do some nice ones up the road in the Knights Hill chipper for a fraction of the price... ;):D

I would still quite like to get taken to the THH for dinner some time mind...

75p for one on its own, apparently. Bargain!
 
Wine list pretty decent too. I especially liked the 500ml carafe options, which meant we could have red and white for different mains without spending too much.

That's the badgers. Impressed with your dedication to the advancement of our collective bar snack knowledge management!

Sounds great. Next on our list. Going to The Major in Cla'am tonight for Mrs W's birthday.
 
Thameslink is completely and utterly borked. They 'can't guarantee' any services to London..... Avoid avoid avoid
 
Home with a poorly nipper so missing the train nightmare. If she asks me to fast forward the adverts/fetch sweets/if it's OK to just dance a little bit one more time I'll be wishing I was stuck on a train though [emoji36]

Not sure what ages your kids are, but I cancelled Sky and now if it's not on Cbeebies or CBBC, they're not allowed to watch it. I don't think the elder one knows the number for Channel 5, and I won't be telling her as it seems to be a non-stop advert punctuated with Peppa Pig.

we don't have anything but Cbeebies/CBBC (they don't watch TV in the mornings really so very rarely catch Channel 5) but we did record loads of films over Christmas on freeview, so they watch those, which is where the adverts come in.
 
Mine are 5 and 11. I recorded episodes of my little pony for her. They're short and with ads so she was demanding assistance every few minutes. Reached my limit petty quickly, now she wants to go to school [emoji35] [emoji3]
 
Fuck Thameslink! Just missed an important appointment in Farringdon cos all the trains are fucked due to flooding.

Anyone know if the disruption is likely to be sorted by tomorrow morning.

I had a shit journey in (ended up walking from Peckham) and am having a 'mare home. Looks like more of the same tomorrow :(
 
On Friday, instead of walking all the way to Elephant, I went to Borough as London Underground were accepting tickets on reasonable journeys.

The guy produces a document saying that as Borough isn't on Thameslink, I can't board there.

That's hardly very reasonable, is it?

that's rubbish- the sign up today said tube, buses, southern etc

are people walking because buses are overcrowded due to the trains being up the spout?

and because a train to peckham (which is as far as I got) then a brisk walk is 1000x nicer than a rush hour bus through Brixton!
C had bus nightmare when he left…. all full, drivers being arsey etc
 
yes.. just asking because I need to get to Elephant on Thursday for something that requires me to look pretty smart, so if it's all shit then it'll be bicycle and a visit to some kind of coffee shop with a decent loo to smarten myself up.
