Barring the Brakspear and Leffe there's not much to work with. oh well, probably ought not to get too merry or i'll messup my game.

EDT's never been the best for beer, but it will always have my heart.

It's my spiritual home, a bit like Keef and his CPT.


It was also where we said goodbye to Huguenot; as he poignantly said "it might as well end where it all began".

You kind of had to be there I guess.

EDT have done a great job in many areas in recent months but the beer is not one of them. I'm not an ale drinker but I can see the choice is poor and none of the lagers appears to be as well served/chilled/lively as other bars...


Shame


As for the footie I'm up for it but my confidence took a major blow over the summer when Mr Georgia absolutely hammered me

Hello Mockney,

Yes, Sounds like a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?!

Seriously, what do you think of a Sunday night Table Football League?

I would happily support it, I'll need a volunteer however to organise the teams etc. (they can get some type of drinks comp. for their efforts) and I might even push to a EDT Table Football Cup for the ultimate champion!


You lot up for that then?

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the diplomatic constructive comments on the beer at the EDT. Can I just say that I am not happy unless my customers are happy.

Thanks for noticing changes; I aim to continually improve our products and services. I must say that I am surprised to hear that you think the beer is lacking. I have spent considerable money and effort into optimising all brands that I pour, everything has been tested by independent and brewery engineers and everything comes up a-ok. As far as the lively factor goes, this can only be down to bad pouring, a warm glass or a failed mini cooler which goes unnoticed for a time in my absence. I am currently giving all staff a refresher course on all dispenses and I can only apologise. I have recently installed some super chilled lagers and I am serving cask ales at 9c.

I am attached to Punch Taverns so my range is not endless but I would gladly take any suggestions on what beers you and the rest of the community would like to see here.


Best Regards,


Ray

Oooops Al - my post actually did sound more negative than I intended. I've definitely noticed the temp of the lagers improve (ie much colder and a Good Thing) and I always get a good head with the pint - I think the staff do everything spot on. (behave at the back!)


It just seems to me (and it could be just me so if anyone fancies joining in on this feel free - I feel bad enough as it is!) that thereafter it loses it's fizz pretty quickly - not sure how else to put it. Esp as it's obvious the effort you are putting in


It's not a deal-breaker and I still head to EDT regularly (4 out of the last 7 days in fact) it's just something I've noticed and mentioned

Sorry but my sense of humour stopped developing when I was 3.


I?ve not been in the EDT for a while but in my experience the Guinness has always been good.

Hi almurray,


What about getting a Bonzini's table football? These are the real thing...


Here are some links:

http://www.footietables.com/

http://www.bonzini.com/english/home_fran.php


John Lewis has a few:

http://www.johnlewis.com/Sport+and+Leisure+/Sports+Equipment/Sports+Equipment/Sport+Tables/736/230333929/Product.aspx?source=22567


I will be up for a babyfoot tournament -- any date yet?

I'm up for it guys just let me know where and when.


Almurray - I echo Tim Taylors Landlord, also any Crouch Vale, Dark Star, or Harveys. Alternatively a Paulaner on draught would be great. Beleive me they will fly out as they taste so good. You should also capitalise on the oktoberfest in Munich as a few pubs I went to this weekend had a 4-5 German or Belgian beers in (real beers!).

Hi Everyone,

Just to let everyone know, the football table has been ordered and it will be arriving from Italy on 19 October!

It has a floodlit pitch and is an upgrade from our old one. I am still looking for a volunteer to organise and referee the Sunday night EDT Table Football Champions League Tournament. (I will happily give the organiser a complimentary drinks tab for the evening) For the matches: A drink and/or branded merchandise can be the weekly prize for the winner/s, and we'll make the final something special!

I will post a new thread regarding TF shortly, standby.


ps- TT Lanlord is on the way!

I too couldn't possibly commit to every Sunday. I thought this was going to be a one-off Forum tournament. Nevertheless well done for getting this up and running and I look forward to the arrival of the new table. I Will certainly need to get some practice in. And a double well done for getting the Timothy Taylor's Landlord in. (tu)

    • I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.    
    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
