I thought so! Yes I do know the public house. Cos I is an Islington gel.

Changing the subject, there is to be a festival on the Thames for the next 10 days. Sideshows, singing, displays and the like. Get down there!

Yes, 200 yards tops.

Correct me if I am wrong Rollo, but is it the one on the corner, just a cough and a spit from where our former Illustrious Leader lived with his lady wife and sprogs?

You are more likely to find me with a pint of Guinness and a snooker cue.

The Tarmon is not really a kiddies and lemonade sort of place. Grown ups only.
I took my mother in once and she asked for a pot of tea. Sensational. After I got it put about that her father was from Dublin everybody calmed down.

They have recently decided to let some light in but that is just to make it easier to read "Sporting Life" and "The Irish Post".

If I pass the Tarmon will you be propping up the bar Rollo, or sitting sedately holding a lemonade?

Anyone been to the Herb Garden next to Kenwood House. It is very pleasant to sit there on a warm afternoon, the smell is amazing.

I thought the best view in London was the view in the rear view mirror whilst driving west bound on the M4 :-D

Thanks for the posting MotownGal , look forward to seeing that.

I took a friend there about three years ago he had never visited the museum
before and thought it was amazing. At the back of the building there is a herb
garden with all the plants named and what they are used for. There was also
different plots of plants showing what was grown from each century. Very
interesting and well worth a visit.

Thought this might be of interest to Londoners and people visiting our fair city over the Summer.

Wednesday, 9pm on Yesterday Channel 19 Freeview.

The Geffrye Museum, former Almshouses turned into a museum in Hoxton. Professor Hutton shows us around.

aha a classic song from a classic chantreuse.

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
C'est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé !

Avec mes souvenirs
J'ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux !

Balayées les amours
Et tous leurs trémolos
Balayés pour toujours
Je repars à zéro

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien, qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie, car mes joies
Aujourd'hui, ça commence avec toi !


Mercy buttercups!
