An Update on Government Progress

Not Bob

Priti's in the back room

Cursing at her secretary

I'm on the front bench

Trying to run the government

The man in the beanie

Kicked out, laid off

Took out his cardboard box

Gonna get paid off

Look out kid

Here comes covid

God knows when

But you can catch it again

You better pray that the vaccine

Doesn't fail with Brexit

Truckers in the Farage Garage down in Kent

Want some instructions, but you got none of them

(harmonica)

Corbyn don't scare you

Just say he hates Jews

Keep locked down tight

No sneaking out at night

Oh damn, papers say

Must end for Christmas Day

Science gets put away

Christian country anyway

Look out kid

Keep your plans hid

UK PLC

Open for business, see?

Safety, security

Movement's no longer free

Nail down the BBC

Walk on to destiny

Just tell yourself you're gonna go down in history

The Pubs Around Nunhead: 24 - Pubs Under Pressure

It is well known that the hospitality sector is suffering badly at the moment.  And we fear that, as we're treating the virus with some seriousness, and shielding, we personally are not helping.  Although, it is probably quite a good thing for our liver and mental health.

Anyway, when chef Tom Kerridge included a piece on a Nunhead pub in his recent series on "Saving Britain's Pubs," we at the Trees had to watch.  So which of the various local hostelries we have discussed over the last many years would he visit?  The Rye, The Nuns?  The Pyro or The Man of Kent?  

No, he went to chat to the owner of a pub we have barely mentioned in all this time - the Golden Anchor on Evelina Road.  We did mention it in passing, just the once, in 2012, during the first of this brief series.  But that is all.  And we have never crossed the threshold. 

To be fair, it was an interesting programme, about how such business might survive repeated lockdowns and restrictions.  Then Tom - in his role of avuncular expert sorting out her business - took the landlady to have a look at another nearby pub, that is doing quite well, given the circumstances.   Well, a lot to choose from, still, we thought, so surely now we will see something familiar?

Nope.  The Prince of Peckham.  Not even in Nunhead. 

Never been in there either.

Oh well.
