'mensch'


This is my word of the month, HB.


Well done for dropping it into a thread with such wild abandon and double points as it's in a sentence alongside a triple 'Barry'.


I thought you were starting to lose your form - I see how wrong I was and for that I am thankful.

I've only been into Boss Man a couple of times but to have found them friendly and like their selection of imported beer (I have an unstoppable urge to buy and try new beers when I see them).....but I'm new here so what do I know ;)


Will have to check out Barry Off License sometime too, haven't ventured down that end of Barry rd much as yet.

I was very dubious of the bossman when he opened, now i think he's great for when the Majestic stash is drained dry. Just round the corner, good selection of workaday reds, not bad for ales, cheap bbq lager for the weekend. What more do you want? There are plenty of other places to get the posh stuff when your father-in-law is coming.

For those of you who have mentioned Nicholas as a place to buy something special, I would be interested to hear why you prefer them to Green & Blue. I ask only because it is always interesting to get feedback to see what we can do to improve our service. I am certainly not knocking Nicholas, who do a great job, but was more wondering just out of interest - we may well learn something that helps us run a better shop!


I'm not asking the same question of Bossman just because we don't really try and compete with them as they do more beer etc than we can.


Any thoughts or comments gratefully received though if this takes the subject off topic i don't want to make Admin cross, so feel free to PM me if necessary!

re G&B... whether it's true or not, I've always had the perception that it's a notch above Nicholas price-wise, so I might go into Nicholas instead for that reason.


And although I know it's a complete cop-out... for those of us who don't know much about wine, it can seem a little intimidating buying wine from a shop who specialise in small producers who you've almost certainly never heard of before.

I find the opposite. I buy from Green and Blue because I don?t know much about wine. The staff/owners as well informed, the wines are well described and (because I suspect they are quite selective on what they put on the shelves) I have not yet been disappointed by any of their wines.

    • Nobody would know because no force is collecting any statistics to see if actioning NCHS is linked to reductions in actual hate acts. The only basis for this is a paper written 70 years ago which hypothesised such a link. Face validity, rather than statistics, seems the basis for this.
    • There is also a Post Office at Mount Pleasant. Which isn't the Royal Mail Sorting Office for London. If you Google it it seems quite a large building, I doubt it's doing the trade that justifies it now. 
    • After the last 14 years of govt where things got demonstrably worse year on year on year - people did not rise up after 5 prime ministers in 6 years because of their ineptitude - the people did not rise up  The notion that a govt with a thumping majority is going to be overthrown is for the birds   People do understand what they inherited    the nfu might portray this as a battle on farmers - but so few will be  affected it’s impossible not to laugh   Plus, add in the hilarity of everyone who decried every street protest for 14 years now saying “bring it on!!” As for the poor - they have removed winter fuel from SOME pensioners who are more likely to afford it      they have also increase minimum wage for the poor   Which ain’t nothing    and well done for squeezing a jaded “money tree” reference in there   
    • My mum unfortunately left her Freedom Pass (and drivers licence) on the P13 bus going from Lordship Lane to Streatham! It was at approx 3.15pm on Sunday 17 Nov. They got off at the Langton Rise bus stop on Underhill Rd. Please message me if you picked it up!! Many thanks 😊
