It certainly was. Called 3 Acre Best Bitter, 4% so a good session ale. Needless to say Dodgy Pete tried something stronger!

I visited a public house earlier this evening and drank some beer.

A revolution, or a civil war. Neither option very good but I canโ€™t see any other outcome.

Yes, and that went well for them. We can only hope for a similar outcome!

Hopefully but i suspect theyโ€™re too thick to realise. Their sort have never been noted for brain power!

Indeed. The parallel with the Nazis is remarkable though - the top dogs all hated the sight of each other and this lot are no different. It doesnโ€™t take much for the veneer to crack.

Itโ€™s great getting this insight to how itโ€™s all going to end. All turning against each other. Unfortunately a lot more people will suffer in the meantime.

I donโ€™t think that defence counts as being valid, Kristi.

It does happen in Charlton sometimes. This was it in October 2024.

Had a walk down Charlton Lane earlier, the pink is definitely emanating from the Valley.

Yes, it was actually reading his book that alerted me to this one at Charlton. Even as a Blitz historian, Iโ€™d walked past it so many times without giving it a second glance.

Yes, installed during the war as a result of experience during the early Blitz with water mains being damaged and the need to provide an alternative source of water. Water would have been relayed through trailer pumps either directly to fight fires or to fill dams.

The (as far as I know) last surviving Auxiliary Fire Service pumping station on the Thames at Charlton. Still hanging on!

The Anchor & Hope pub on Charlton Riverside. Closed after the owner sadly passed away and now looking unlikely ever to re-open.

It was very much in the direction of The Valley. Youโ€™d only see the Northern Lights on a clear night I think. This was either the groundsman at work, or a Viking funeral after the heavy defeat at Millwall.

Yeah, same sort of thing. If he lives at home with his mum, youโ€™d hope she wouldnโ€™t tolerate it but with some of these people there seems to be a startling lack of social responsibility.

Me too. I asked him to move them and just met with dumb insolence.

Itโ€™s just moronic - putting your dirty trainers on the seat. I always used to think โ€œI bet you donโ€™t do that at home!โ€ But now Iโ€™m not so sure!

Indicative of the halfwits currently running the USA and the halfwit-in-chief. (Apologies to all halfwits out there, as these people donโ€™t even have half a wit between them.)

My father travelled home from North Africa on the Dominion Monarch in 1944. Sailed out on the Athlone Castle in 1940!

If youโ€™re thinking of going to the US for holiday, World Cup or business, you need to think again.
Trumpโ€™s Goon Squad doesnโ€™t have boundaries, if youโ€™re a living being you can be targeted.
