| Re: "anonymous - 2 Feb 2010 19:33". Having read this rather personal post I should like to point out a rather obvious inconsistency, a tongue in cheek correction and a rather obvious pointer as to whom actually made it. 1: The poster stated: "The managers name is unkown (sic) although I know what he looks like". Yet in the last sentence the poster then stated: "the current manager "Mike" needs to go". The author of the previous post then rather ironically wrote: "Dont (sic) let this Mike character fool you". This sentence is ironic, because the poster actually seems more bothered about other people tendency towards foolishness rather than avoiding a rather hilarious example of their own. 2: Until reading "anonymous's" post I had absolutely no idea how to spell the previous manager's rather exotic name, and I've been coming to the pub for quite some time. I however understand that the previous poster has actually managed to spell this exotic name (pronounced "Chead-ham") absolutely correctly. In conclusion, It would take quite a suspension of disbelief for someone who claims to only visit the pub only on Tuesdays to get this 100% correct, that is unless of course they had enjoyed previous access to a written/printed spelling of this name. 3: The previous poster wrote: "I see this so called manager with his "trophy girlfriend" what is she about 10 years younger than him??" I understand the "trophy girlfriend" is in fact 13 years younger. I wonder if this fact would increase the level "anonymous's" hysterical indignancy? 4: "anonymous" wrote: "after they did go there was another gentleman called Sunil he was only the holding manager as he called it, he was a great bloke, always chatty and I dont (sic) think I ever came in and didnt (sic) see him either working or the other side of the bar, either way he was always there." Now I'm no Sherlock Holmes, yet subtracting the poster's mention of previous managers (in an attempt to give their assertions some supporting reference), and the latter mention of this poster's target of ire, only one person is actually named in a good light. In conclusion I feel the identity of the previous poster's identity can be determined via the rather elementary process of deduction I have set out above. Castlefan1 - 12 Mar 2010 17:18 |
| The managers name is unkown although I know what he looks like, he does talk to people but only if he can be bothered, I come in this pub every tuesday and the staff are friendly enough, I dont se him on this particular day, on the other hand when I come in on other occasions I see this so called manager with his "trophy girlfriend" what is she about 10 years younger than him?? The staff work very hard, all I see this guy doing iis talking trying too be the big I am, in my personal opinion II think he is up himself. There was a couple who were the managers before him, I do kno the names Matt and Cigdem, absolutley lovely and it was a shame to see them go, after they did go there was another gentleman called Sunil he was only the holding manager as he called it, he was a great bloke, always chatty and I dont think I ever came in and didnt see him either working or the other side of the bar, either way he was always there. It seems Fullers seems to always get unlucky with lazy managers on occasions, the current manager "Mike" needs to go. I will continue too visit the pub as the staff always make you feel welcome. |Dont let this Mike character fool you, I dont like him one bit, and I am entitled to my opinion. anonymous - 2 Feb 2010 19:33 |
| First time of visiting this pub, do not park in the car park opposite beside the bank, nice clamping guy advised me he does clamp. Totally agree with Pinkgirl30's comments, really friendly bar staff, Mike is manager, introduced himself when I was being nosey looking around the pub, (he thought I needed the bathroom) really nice separate section for eating and judging by the size of the burgers that passed me on Friday night the food is good value and quality. Crazy Friday night is a good description, the band (Pier 54, got given a business card as I was talking to drummer about booking for a party) were excellent and it did not take long to get the dancers up strutting there stuff. And yes a male member of staff was wearing a rather fetching dress which the regulars thought perfectly normal. Good selection of wine and complimentary marshmallows for toasting on the open fire. Excellent seating area outside and despite being on the edge of the A40/M40 you would think that you were somewhere far more exotic. Do pay a visit on a Friday especially if they continue to have live bands, far more entertaining than just a juke box. misstj76 - 16 Nov 2009 15:09 |
