Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

I was at the Railway last night and one punter was so shocked about the price increase that he walk out. Mind you most of the customers from the White Hart was there as the heating not fix yet. Don't know why as it was freezing in the Railway too.
 
Their menu is rubbish. The only thing ive ever bothered to get is a pizza from there when it is a fiver, even their pizza's are average- who wants a pizza with just mushrooms ('classic fungi') on it?
 
They're having a fucking laugh. The English breakfast was £6.50 before, it wasn't amazing tbf but it was alright for one of the cheaper meals in the pub. But £8 now plus all the drinks increases?! UGH
 
See the railway are pushing their new menu on fb, last time i commented on their ridiculous prices got absolutely shot down by some sort of railway fan club, no doubt the masses that flock from all over london to visit on the weekend!
 
I just checked my bank account it looks like the Tulse charged me £1 for using my card. I started a tab yesterday which cam to £27.80, but an additional cost of £1 is also showing.

Now, perhaps they take a pound to start the tab, and the total at the end is £28.80 (hence they charged £27.80 when I leave)

I'm gonna have to ask them....cos they never said 'we take £1 to start the tab...'

controversial! one of these days, Tulse Hill may well get a pub everyone likes, one that isn't too expensive, one that isn't shit, and one that doesn't charge you a quid for card payments.

It may be the £1 was part of the overall total, but they don't say they take a pound first...so on my account it has come out as two payments...

Which goes against their supposed policy of not taking card payments under a tenner....the fucking scumbag liars
 
Burn it to ground!

apologies to change the subject, but what's going on with Co-op these days? I don't go in there anymore but often randomly wonder how their queue policy is working out since they changed it last summer (to queue down the booze aisle), as the last time I was in there it was going quite well. and is Tina still behaving herself and not giving you a filthy scowl when you ask for extra slim filter tips?

Tina hasn't been seen for months (at least I haven't seen her).

The new queuing system seems to be holding well. Occasionally a clever git might approach the tills from the magazines aisle and jump the queue by proceeding straight to one of the stand alone tills, using the excuse that he hadn't seen the queue in the booze aisle. But overall I think it's working better, and people are queuing in the booze aisle only.
 
Maybe Tina has been promoted into management at another store? it would not surprise me in the slightest if she pops up at the West Norwood branch where she runs the show.

Ive never seen anyone actually push the queue, I've seen people try and they seem genuinely confused and join the back of the queue when they realise what a heinous crime they have just committed.
 
There are two new coops near my office, one (by the Thameslink) is fantastic: one (by St Paul's) is seriously bizarre. But between them I haven't been in ours for weeks. I went in today.... And was struck again by the fact it's tatty, dirty, oddly stocked, and really, really smells.

Anyway, I was coming to say that the bizarre commuters were out in force this morning. As well as sniffing-man, knitting-Frenchwoman had bought a friend, another Frenchwoman, who was cutting out pictures from a magazine with a pair of child's scissors and passing them to knitting-Frenchwoman. Unusual activity on a rush hour Thameslink, I felt.
 
So I got the 7:45 (I think it was) Thameslink this morning and it was... ok! I didn't get a seat but it wasn't horribly crowded and it arrived/departed on time. It was somewhat depressing though - quite glad I don't do that daily.

7.17 for me four mornings a week. It's usually alright but when it goes wrong it goes horribly, spectacularly wrong. I don't mind it- people watching and playing on my phone keep me amused.

  1. That menu is an old one. They are soooo unimaginative they reproduce old dishes! I also feel like a bit of a saddo knowing their menus so well. My one hope is that Knowles do decent nosh.

I would like to see this incredible activity - quite a feat at that time of the morning

I haven't seen wee Tina in a while. I used to find her abhorrent then I realised her kindnesses and I now find her so charming I miss the lady!

The queue system however I STILL find abhorrent. People get so confused and feel in the way. It also makes me buy more wine. The whole place needs a redesign or knock it down and start again.

It's usually a sweatpit in there. I only go for some of the decent music 'nights'. Dancing in there for 10 minutes is like doing 3 sessions of bikram...
 
Got a poorly baby and a 35min walk to school for my other boy. Almost made me want to get the scab bus (not really). That's the 2 in case you didn't know. Actually maybe we'll just stay home.

Tried the Great North Wood? Worth the walk up the hill I reckon for the food.
