    Been in London with Mrs D and popped in the Daylight at Petts Wood for a nightcap before going home.

    Pint of Neckoil and a G&T please squire.

    And this is what both were served in.  Plastic glasses on a Sat night at 9pm. Sorry but why?!  To be fair, every other punter had a plastic glass in their hand or on the table in front of them but I didn't get an answer out of the barman when I asked.

    £14.20 for the record.  Should I be peeved or are plastic glasses at peak time on a Sat now the norm?

    Our band had an afternoon gig there in the car park yesterday afternoon for the switch on of the Christmas lights, Everyone had a plastic glass then. It might have been they had too many of those bloody glasses and they wanted to get rid of them 😀.
    Yep, spoke to my neighbour today who is very much invovled with the PWDRA and apparently the pub decided plastic was in order all day due to the large number of expected takeouts, which makes some sense.

    I would have politely asked for the drinks to be put in a glass, if refused I would have walked out and gone to the spoons over the road.

    That cup looks very much like you get in German stadiums, when you pay a deposit on it which gets refunded later (or you can take it home as a souvenir).

    Buy us a pint whilst you are there mate
  • I believe The Rose and Crown Welling has closed down ? every time I go past it has the blinds down and has for a couple of weeks now, cant say i ever went in there much but did attend a birthday party there once, shame to see another Welling pub go
    Isn’t owned by the person who also has the oak in Charlton?
    Yeah the same person owned both the Oak and Rose but both have been sold now.
    I normally go to the the rose of denamrk before matches these days, is the Oak still open ? I thought a father and son bought it ?
  • The Oak is still open and has had a refurb.

    Good, I used to quite like the Oak and on occasion went there for the early kick off before Charlton, in recent years i found it too busy to even get a pint in and resorted with a number of others to just buying cans across the road, hence moved to the Rose of Denmark pre match.

    I didn't drink them, I only bought them to throw at the peasantry

    Just to let everyone know i will be in attendance tonight either in fanzone or crossbars, in case anyone wants to buy me a drink, shake my hand or have a photo with me. I may even answer some questions you no doubt have for me. See you there.
