Not a brilliant pub, obviously, with no ale and not great food, but was good for the Fulham game today. A decent number of Charlton in and they had it on the big screen plus two others.
Was pleased when some Spurs were complaining about having to watch their game on the smaller screens at the back of the pub. "Why's that then?" They asked. "Just because Charlton are down the road?"
"Well, yes," said the barmaid. "And you're only playing Brighton."
She could have added - you're in South London, it's a derby and you're about to get spanked, but I thought she handled it well.

Can you imagine going into a pub in, say, Enfield and asking them to put the Charlton game on the big screen?
Staff make you feel very safe whenever I went in there on my tod (used to go in there if I was early for my barnet culling).
And always an old Irish Geezer to share a tale over a pint of the black stuff.
The f****** landlord said "that's nice for you" when I asked if they were able to show our game.
tottenham, two bob a***holes.
I lived in Blackheath 40 years ago and it was the worst. Full of old men.
He was local in the Dacre Park Road area.

”Has Leaburn scored yet?”
How do pubs work with the red button and requests for matches? We were in Marlow so accept that there wouldn't be many Charlton fans around, but dont advertise it if you've not got more than 2 sky boxes.
Hare n Billet is the best by a mile.
