Between now and the bastards shutting us down we have a massive amount of events happening - I’m going to be knackered - but we would love you all to come down and we would hugely appreciate your support for us and all of the events - only a couple of months left, we can all have a good old sleep when we close. Let’s go out with a bang!

Anyway, f**k Westfield, come down the bar tomorrow and dance the carpet to dust

In other news, confirmation that Westfield will not let us have a week’s grace to remove our stuff from the bar so you’ll be seeing things disappearing as we take our valued memories away.

Apparently we are the subject of a complaint that we have empty Calor gas (for our heating) bottles inside the bar. Croydon council have been in touch in a threatening manner. Well done you. For f**k’s sake.

Mr Mayor , why don’t you visit Bishops Wine Bar , in operation in Croydon for over 40 years , at present we are being closed down (June) for no apparent reason, other than they seem to think they have planning permission (Whitgift) we understand they do NOT
We would welcome support from the Mayor of Croydon as you seem to be trying to encourage Business in Croydon
