    What did you think, Reg?

     I went for my 60th last month & was massively underwhelmed, incredibly expensive (the bill was around £200) the vegetarian selection really mediocre & at 7.30 they didn’t have enough beer for me, my daughter & stepson to have a pint each.

    Won’t be rushing back, though it is clearly doing very well.

    We enjoyed it - the sharing plates we had were excellent, with special mentions for the Cuttlefish and the Bavette. Wine was expensive though I thought. It's quite small but didn't feel too overpowering so there was a nice atmosphere. Jon Lansdown was also there at the same time & seemed to be enjoying himself with his fellow guests.

    A good addition to North Street.

    On the subject of the shop, I think I crossed paths with either the store manager or supervisor today. A lady from “Southern Ireland” as she put it. Now, this may be me being picky but I can’t help but feel the store might be a bit better if there was an actual Bristol-born city fan at the helm. Though again, I acknowledge that many of the decisions around kit are made at the exec/commercial level. 

    The lady you refer to was nothing but incredibly helpful last few times I have been in there. It's a shop - it could be staffed by Martians (don't tell Suella Braverman) as far as I am concerned; as long as they're helpful that will do for me.

    I would like to share this article from a journalist who explains what the consequences of recreational drug use are to thousands of people across the globe.

    Absolutely. Organised crime in general but particularly the drug gangs are the main reason for all the stabbings/shooting/killings we sadly hear about all too often. County lines gangs using kids hardly out of primary school to peddle this shit FFS. Anyone who takes part in this shit has blood on their hands.

    Hopefully the council has published the worst case scenario and the actual time will be less than 2 years. Maybe learning from the Gaol Ferry which went from 6 weeks work to a year.

    You know full well that they'll find it in a worse state than initially expected and it'll take longer than first thought. See also: everything in Bristol

    I fully get what you're saying but it doesn't sit easy with me just handing over a million, hopefully the council will ignore them on 28th Sept' and see if they will take the risk with the high costs that come with it in taking it to court

    Maybe Steve could dip into his "nest egg" and buy ETM off. I know it's not his problem per se. It's a bitter pill to swallow but let's get this back on track ASAP.
