Moving out of London

PS not sure if yr still angry.

Only when I think about it...

Apply for a job at the bar, pinch gollywog, resign.

Name and shame, then! Which pub is it?

There's going to be a big list of pubs with similar in it.

The Pineapple on Hercules Rd, Lambeth has one up on a shelf.

Subbed for the next episode

OMG! - out loud.
Which century have I woken up in?

It's still C19 in .au

You're right.
Bezzie mate is oz and she says 'spaz' like it is ok.
Edit - She has been told.

There’s a furniture/Knick knack shop in the town my parents live in that had a rather large Golliwog on display in the window next to their Betty Boop collection

And yet there it was. Perhaps it’s just a cultural thing, and the person who put it up there doesn’t understand just how phenomenally offensive it is? Maybe I’m being an over-sensitive DFL snowflake? Perhaps I should be more sensitive to the insensitivities of a community who didn’t realise they were being insensitive? Is that patronising? I think it is. Oh god thi sis minefield.

Had this exact same experience in the gift shop at the Queen's estate in Sandringham in the summer of 2008. I was there with some friends who all felt the same way but we didn't say anything. I then promptly forgot all about it until I saw this the following February:

Felt quite vindicated tbh.

Ta! Haven’t done it yet...

The Trinity used to have a full Golliwog band up on a shelf in the public bar before they redecorated... I hated going in that place, my old bandmates insisted on meeting up in there... By the time LFGSS started going there the offending mannequins had been taken down... It was, and probably still is, a total white person's pub...

PS And yes, a lot of 'normal' Aussies are ignorant, racist wankers...

The trinity is a bit hipster gastro these days. Wall of postcards gone. Beer garden refurbed with a fidelity and upstairs has a burger shack.

Saying that I quite like it ....

I never minded the Trinity for quick quiet pint.

I didn't mind it for a quick pint during the day, in the evenings it turned into a weird alternative universe Daily Mail Brixton for me... I really hated it... Young's pubs, full of cunts...

Amazing... Remind me never to go back!

At a slight tangent to gollywogs but a similar wtf, I noticed in my new workplace in a small town on the south coast a boobs calendar in the main workshop. Fine, I thought - if that’s what the two brothers working there want to look at together all day then that’s on them.
Went back in the other day to be greeted by Ms November and noticed that it’s actually from another company with the logo prominently displayed! A pretty large company at that. Also it was full-frontal :/

quiz is alright as well!

Italian company?

True i only ever had a quick pint the sun then went back to stockwell feeling guilty id strayed from the path.

Racist.

Nope, British ‘family run’.

Name pls
