Saturday just past. No dramas, just wasnt very relaxing and im no shrinking wall flower with bad language etc, but this was getting over the top. Spoke to manager he was helpful in the situation but not much he could do really. If they dug their heels in I wouldnt like to have got involved!


ETA: Palmerston is great, one of my faves for a pint or dinner. Very unusal on Saturday night and absolutely not the norm. In fact first time in 9 or so years so dont be put of going readers if you haveent been. Just unlucky that night and one of these things.

I think the Palmerston would be better if they re-thought the pub/restaurant separation. Maybe just a very small bar at the front. Nobody wants to pay ?40 a head for dinner while sitting next to a bunch of lairy beered up blokes.


Do mean this place, DC? http://www.mintmagazine.co.uk/general/beer-and-loathing-jfks-aka-canavans-pool-club-peckham/


Looks interesting!

Ahh, missed meeting you again then HMB!

Was with Mr Buggie in Palmerston for my birthday meal and the lairy group were there the whole time... Is weird how worrying it is when blokes start slapping each others arms & kissing each other they can still look like a fights about to kick off!


Very unrelaxing but nothing the staff could do (think it would've caused it all to kick off).

Agree buggie, we had table booked at 8, left shortly after. There was no way the manager was going to dampen those boys spirits and we were sat right beside them. Manager was dead on about us leaving and gave me my pint on the house. One couple were moved to the back just before we left. Franklins slotted us in and had a good night there.


Hope you managed to enjoy your birthday as best you could Buggie.


As I say, just one of those things and unusual.


Back on topic:

The steaks and other meat I have had in Palmerston are good, maybe they get them from The Butcher by The Plough...

F&H is great, we feel lucky to have it as our local butcher. As PGC says, nothing seems to be too much trouble for these guys.


The Butchery is good too (got some great steaks from the Bermondsey Spa Terminus branch on Saturday), but the name still bothers me! Butchery is the name of the activity/practice/occupation, not the establishment. It's like calling a school "The Teaching".

Still use Plough man with no name when we can. Very good meat. It's the lamb and pork comes from his Dad's farm I think not the beef - but it's all very good.


We have asked him to spatchcock a chicken for us a couple of times recently, really easy to cook and carve and he's more than happy to do that.


Heard him chatting on Saturday to a customer about a full pig for roasting and can also price up a full lamb !

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      No and Wes Streeting is heading in this direction because he knows the NHS is broken and was never built to cope with the demands currently being placed on it. A paid-for approach in some shape or form, and massive reforms, is the only way the NHS can survive - neither of which the left or unions will be pleased about.

      Labour talks about, and hopefully will do something about, the determinants of poor health.  They're picked up the early Sunak policy on smoking and vapes.  Let's see how far they tackle obesity and inactivity. I'd rather the money was spent on these any other interventions eg mental health, social care and SEN, rather than seeing the NHS as income generating.

      Had to take a second look!

      I think it's connected with the totem pole renovation celebrations They have passed now, but the notice has been there since then (at least that's when I first saw it - I passed it on the 484 and also took a photo!)

      Labour was damned, no matter what it did, when it came to the budget. It loves go on about the black hole, but if Labour had had its way, we'd have been in lockdown for longer and the black hole would be even bigger.  Am I only the one who thinks it's time the NHS became revenue-generating? Not private, but charging small fees for GP appts, x-rays etc? People who don't turn up for GP and out-patient appointments should definitely be charged a cancellation fee. When I lived in Norway I got incredible medical treatment, including follow up appointments, drugs, x-rays, all for £200. I was more than happy to pay it and could afford to. For fairness, make it somehow means-tested.  I am sure there's a model in there somewhere that would be fair to everyone. It's time we stopped fetishising something that no longer works for patient or doctor.  As for major growth, it's a thing of the past, no matter where in the world you live, unless it's China. Or unless you want a Truss-style, totally de-regulated economy and love capitalism with a large C.
