The Alexandra, Penge

Have spent rather a lot of time (and money) in pubs from as soon I was old enough to get away with it and it is a fact that you just have to keep on returning to the Alex. Yes you do get strange people and yes it could do with a makeover, but couldn't we all. I didn't realise we went to the pub to view the decor. The landlord cannot be blamed for someone spilling beer on a carpet. The last fight I saw in the Alex was when the Dave the boxer ran it around 10 years ago. My dad who is 78 also drinks in the pub regularly as did my mum until her recent demise. The beer is always in good nick condition and as for the karaoke singers of which I am one, the comments of this chappie Tonto are a load of rubbish. I think he is on a different planet. Why doesnt he come down and announce himself to us all and we can watch him sing. Should be a laugh. Hi Ho Silver Away
