    On the same matter of toilets in pubs a very annoying thing if you do need a pony is a lack of a seat and usually a lock as well though anyone who use to drink in the Dust Club in Harlesdon may recall the khazi did not even have a door not that it stopped some using it

      Do you ever drink over Whitton way Isleworth?

        You dont?!

        I love it when my pints half empt, sit it next to the urinal next to me and by the time I leave the bogs Ive been topped up to a full pint again. Bit warm mind, but beggars cant be choosers n all that.
        You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

            Winning Post is good for a cheap feed

            My favourite Pub in Isleworths the George.

            London Apprentice and The town Wharf are decent.

              When I first moved to Isleworth I spent at least an hour in the George one Saturday afternoon before clocking on what it was!

              Love popping down the Apprentice on a Sunday (after church of course) and then the Legion and the Working Mans expeciallly when there is football on

                Choice of spirits includes Apple Sours and After Shock

                Offers on snakebite black

                BBC News on mute with subtitles

                Fridge stocked with alcopops you haven't seen in over ten years - Metz, Twos Dogs, Hooch

                The choice of lager begins and ends with Carling and Carlsberg

                Mixmatch of different balls on the pool table, ended with you having to use a yellow as the cue ball.

                    the wrong lager coming out of the tap (the princes head in battersea pour their stella out of a castlemaine tap!)
                    a juke box that hasnt been updated since 1996 (eg white horse)
                    pubs that close for lunch
                    pubs that have a longer wine list than beers on tap available
                    in fact any pub with a wine list
                    pubs that show football without the sound or pubs that mute the football for karaoke
                    any pub thats marketed as an aussie bar

                            Can't believe any one is complaining about the state of pubs when we used to have to wait for them to open at 6pm just for last orders to be called at 11! :impatient:

                              I used to live the estate that the chopper was on, Badric Court. its called the battersea bar now and serves large portions of west indian grub, actually quite a nice boozer if you dont mind being one of the only honkys in the gaff. Used to be good when david rodigan used to play a set in there too. the fray bentos pie tins that serves as ashtrays are a classy touch too.

                                some great pubs closing down, put a pretty young barmaid behind the jump, look after the beer, sorted, not a lot to ask for really
                                I must away now, I can no longer tarry
                                This morning's tempest I have to cross
                                I must be guided without a stumble
                                Into the arms I love the most
