Hope they fixed the toilet smell.

No they haven't

It was closed over the weekend. Had a sign up encouraging people to go to the actress or the angel oak.

Is the Bishop still owned by the guy who started Meat Liquor and who annoyed all his ED neighbours during his house renovation?

I’m guessing that “work wear ” doesn’t include suits and “sportswear” doesn’t include Dulwich Hamlet colours. Or rugby shirts.

That is SO naff!! I never go there but still....

It almost makes me want to turn up dressed like 'Honey G' in full on shell suit look accesorised  with a hard hat and a pair of paint spattered workboots just in order for this to 'sedate' 65year old to tell them they need to get a grip or move to Orpington when they tell me I'm not 'suitably attired' and therefore cannot enter their establishment.

The toilets are fixed.... It's a breath of fresh air.

It is a bit provincial.  I assume it is a way to keep out groups who have caused trouble in the past if they need to?  I doubt middle aged ladies turning up in trainers and a hoodie are going to be turned away.

You do sometimes see those signs in central London pubs, usually on football derby days or ones near construction sites.    On the latter I am not sure if builders are particularltly badly behaved in pubs or if they think their more middle class clientele would be offended by the sight of a load of blokes in work boots and plaster spattered trousers.

To be fair, anyone wearing a hard hat & tool belt after 8 pm is either seven Stellas into a post-site session or a member of a Village People tribute band. Neither is particularly appealing.

The hat/hood thing is pretty commonplace in loads of places now, not just Bromley - it's for CCTV.

They've had a few problems in there in the past, you can see why they've had to make some changes. 

Strangely enough, curing the gents of the pong probably won't have helped. You could barely go in there without holding your breath, let alone take a great, big nasal draught of something.
