The Shed

Do correct me if I'm wrong, but do I detect just a note of dissatisfaction in your tone of late?

Oh you keep banging on, that's what The Shed's for, mate; you got a gripe, you vent it here from the safety of your armchair - we listen.

Mind you, at least you don't have the most patronising & condescending advertising campaign of all time running on TV (have you seen the latest Nat West ads...?)

And yes - prog curry still on (what was the date again? )

Sorry, forgot to say we pencilled in Friday 3rd April.
If anyone's interested, I will suggest we meet at a pub called the Walrus and Carpenter near Monument Station. It's fairly quiet (note to self - check it's still there) and there's a good curry house called The Rajasthan next door.

Yes, it is still there.

3rd April it is then - I'll get my special calendar crayon out this evening when I get home

Mind you - have you read the reviews of the Walrus & Carpenter?

If you suffer from chronic constipation, I'd suggest that a pint of beer in this pub could sort you out pretty quickly. Otherwise, don't bother.

Otherwise, don't bother. you could always hit the 'report this for removal' on that post, Jim  but seriously, how could a place called the Walrus&Carpenter not have superb dining?

You are definately not The Eggman, James

A couple of pub suggestions if I may make so bold...

The Princess Louise
This a very famous pub close to Holborn Tube and is at the New Oxford Street end of High Holborn. Quite close to The Drury Lane end of Covent Garden

The Harp.
Chandos Place, WC2N 4HS
Not far from the curry houses that we have visited before.
This pub won the CAMRA London riband last year...I think.
It has had some very good and interesting beers on recently and a selection of ciders and perrys.
The blurb says Leicester Square.In fact,Trafalgar Sqaure is closest and it is not far from The Coal Hole.About 2 minute's walk.
