I went on a Monday night when a quiz was on and I must say the staff were...er...lethargic. And a little surly. But everyone has their off days and until I've been a couple more times I'm reluctant to cast a judgement in stone.


Also they have a pool competition on Tuesdays, I think, which I'm well up for!

Inside 72 is a bit of a gem - the Drum a pleasant oddity, a bar that moonlights as a cafe: i went in there once for a coffe and croissant - they made the coffee, the waitress put on her jacker, skipped out the door and came back ten mins later with a plastic carrier from Somerfield. then I got my croissant. laid back.


I'd concur with the general view regarding CPT being a damn fine place.

Pretty much Bob. Although most of it's current regulars are 20-30 somethings (although regulars range from 20 - 80+), it's never going to be trendy! I for one am pleased about that, but you're never going to pick up chicks in there, so Fear n' Boozin (stud that he is) likes to venture out ;-)

Good stuff. I was in again last night with some out-of-town friends (they're from East London [spit]) and they both loved it. I think I prefer the snug end rather than the modern bit. Darndest thing though....they had the radiators on. I know July in England isn't always balmy but that's taking it a bit far!


I'll have to look out for you Keef....are you permanently armed with a pint and a laptop?

I was in there last night as it goes til about half 9 (I think... was only meant to be a swift pint after work!!!).

Was in the "new side" at the bar with Fear n' Boozin... Well between the bar and nipping outside for ciggies.

      The Mansion Tax

      That beacon of socialism and notorious envier of home owners - the USA  - has a property tax.  Generally an annual charge based on the fair market value of your house.

      The Mansion Tax

      Just had fun on RightMoves - luckily everything on my street is sub £2mm so if the valuation method is recent trading multiples then we'll all be OK...for now.   The new tax law might create an artificial resistance point at the £2mm level where natural inflation will not bring a certain population of houses over the threshold.   If I had unlimited funds this place would be AMAZING!! https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/162706352?utm_campaign=property-details&utm_content=buying&utm_medium=sharing&utm_source=copytoclipboard#/&channel=RES_BUY Total 1-off that obvs pre-dates the other houses around it.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Rockets · Posted

      There was an interesting chat about this on the budget The Rest Is Politics and they highlighted a challenge that taxation levels are now getting to Scandinavian levels yet our public services are nowhere near as good as theirs and the government is pouring money in to, for example, the NHS but people aren't seeing the improvement as (the politically dreaded) productivity is actually going down. They cited 20% to 30% more investments in nurses etc yet productivity is at around 7.8%. This is a big challenge for the government because if people don't feel the difference or feel they are getting good value for money they will turn on them very quickly.

      Certainly the threshold won't be increased, but, additionally, once the position is accepted that central government can impose a rental, for no return, on property you might expect it to be widened. Remember Council tax, also a tax on property, is in exchange for the services we get from our local council, but this property tax is in exchange for nothing. Indeed those hit by this tax are amongst the relatively few people, in general, who are net contributers to national income, as opposed to net benefitters.
