    Anyone know what the five way pubs are doing New Years Eve? I can't be arsed with a club/house party/something in town, wondered if they've got stupid entrance fees or if one can simply go for a pint as usual...?

    £10 entry to each of The Dairy and Chapter One. Free entry to The Noble. Dunno about anywhere else.

    Cheers, Poxy. Brief, quiet one at the Noble it is then. Christ, I'm getting old.

    How was it, David? Was in for dinner on the 29th and wondering how they would do on NYE...

    Yeah it was good. Reasonably busy but not rammed. We had a pot roast slow cooking for midnight at home so was only there from early til about 11, but yeah, nice atmosphere. A strangely high ratio of Lesbians.

    How could you tell?

    Is it true it used to be a gay pub?

    Yes, it was called the Flag.

    It was neither very popular nor very much fun.

    Was it the Flag just prior to becoming the Big Fat Sofa Thingie (can't quite remember the name) or was it further back?

    I think so. The Flag was pretty rough and ready. The sofas torn. The toilets are still the same at The Noble as they were then. Still very cold.

    What's that place (in the row of shops between the railway line and Trinder Road) called The Crouch? It has a red shutter which I don't think I've ever seen raised. It looks - from the name/signage - like it may have been a very odd pub/drinking den.

    I've seen it open, but never dared to go in.

    It was a bit like one of those 'members clubs' you get in Finsbury Park South, but open plan - very odd - I shall try next time mind. If there is a next time.

    it opened for 6 months or so until the landlord died and then it shut. can't remember his name but it was something like 'old jimmy' or 'big al'.

    did it turn into the pizza place that got set alight - presumably for insurance reasons as they never had any customers?

    Nope. They're next door to each other. Possibly next-door-but-one. The pizza place / kebaberie reopened for one day after the fire and it's been shut ever since.

    Well then I've walked past The Crouch every day for almost a year now and have never even notice it! Amazing.
