I can't imagine he's suddenly going to treat his managers, chefs and other staff any differently from the horrendous way he's treated them in the past, whether the locals love him or not :(


I hope to be proved wrong. Not that I intend ever going there.

Hi Sue

When i got married in 1998, we rented rooms above the old wishing well, for my inlaws. The rooms were affordable and were very nice. My inlaws, were not fussy, being from Belfast, you would not be. :)But they loved the place, and the owners back then, the McCanns, laid on a great pre and post wedding party for us. Now thats what I call a good pub.And the ales were great :)

You cynic you. Just the other day I was chatting to a barmaid in Deptford and she was telling me that the previous owners of the Cherry Tree had in fact sold up so that they could donate the money to charity. They also promote race relations in deprived areas.


True story Bro.

The Rye used to on Saturdays - they even had a little ballot box

to keep it, and I voted YES.


I think the NO vote won though because it stopped - some people

don't like bands in pubs.

    • The deal with America is currently being announced Is it a good one for us or have we been sold a pigs ear as a silk purse ?  Personally  as it involves Beef bring imported to the UK, I don't believe its in the public interest. Interested to see others reaction 
    • Ground nesting bees are different. They don't swarm in the same way. https://beehunterma.com/how-to-safely-get-rid-of-ground-nesting-bees/#:~:text=Using a hose%2C gently soak,labeled for ground-nesting bees. Sorry I think that might be American bees. But so far as I can see the method for UK bees with water would be the same. It seems the most humane way, as it just encourages them to relocate. I had a nest of white tailed bumble bees in my garden last year. It was fascinating watching them go in and out of the ground.   But then I didn't need to put a shed over them!
    • If it's a bumble bee nest they won't be interested. But they are an important part of the local ecology. I don't know whether bumbe bee nest can be transferred readily. But they shouldn't be destroyed.
