Monosyllabic grumpy barman/manager. Music that my dad would've rejected as bad. It just didn't feel like the Noble, and was pretty empty (seemed like everybody had gone to the Stapleton). Hopefully we just caught it at a bad moment.

Going downhill steadily if Saturday night was anything to go by.
-
Some more recommendations here from earlier this year.
-
They obviously never met the older bloke behind the pie counter. Everyone else is nice though.
-
quite a few
-
I've also used Scott's twice before. They were very good.
-
That's a very handsome pie!
-
I've done lots of reverse commutes over the years, including Watford, and it was certainly one of the better ones. Just a few stops on the Viccy line and a fast train to Watford Junction. Much depends on the journey at the other end though.
-
Blimey .... hope it went well becky.
-
@becky - I usually go for a steak and ale pie if I'm making one.
-
@mapsa - Absolutely agree - both staggeringly cheerful, but are they still there? I haven't seen them at the weekend for a while now.
-
This one from the Arsenal website struck me as odd .... Wenger behind Arsenalisation of the Emirates

Best Topiary: The Mount Pleasant Crescent elephant

@Arkady - can you really get an OEP online? The TFL page I found doesn't mention it.
-
I was there on Saturday afternoon, and things didn't seem quite right I must say.
-
Porchetta seem to have cornered the market in "horror" caterpillars if the this morning's Metro is to be believed (page 30).
-
I'm still astonished that somebody thought question 1 was a good idea.
-
Yes, it was still like that on Sunday afternoon. I got cold feet and didn't try it out.
-
Went in the Larrick/Stapleton on BH Monday and it wasn't bad. It's obviously not finished, and there was a bit of a limited beer choice, but it certainly felt better than previous visits. We noticed the improved music too.
-
Good to hear that Jeremy.
-
I heard the blood-curdling scream at midnight, but didn't see anything. Could it have been foxes?
-
I also used to live in the area about 20yrs ago (eek), and it wasn't unusual to see the odd bit of kerb crawling. The Brownswood Road chicane was the usual spot, as cars naturally slowed down there. Is the accordian shop still there?
-
The T-shirt Rule has always existed - just as r_c explained. Nobody ever tells you the rule; you just absorb it over the years. Nice bullet points from andy though.
-
There's a Mount Pleasant Road in Tottenham.
-
I like Papa L's footballer analogy. Does SG have an Emile Heskey?
-
Beyond weird ... and with a local participant too.
-
I'll be using this handy video to help me decide.
-
The Lords of the New Church did a version once. It wasn't good.
-
I much prefer Pappagone to Porchetta.
