    Never went to Cinders, only ever Neptune's.

    They had some great house night's there in the mid 90's as well.

    The Park closed just before Christmas. Legendary back street pub. Hopefully it will get a new owner and reopen.

    Along the front there is The White Rose, which will aways exist, The Waterloo Stores (old Hancock) the George and then at the end The Pilot.

    That's it pubs wise.

    There are a few decent tap rooms and bars up the top of Newton Road, but it's all very G&T, not pubby.

    There's the old cinema complex with Gin and Juice and the chains, like Loungers and Prezzo, Bistro Pierre.

    Trains sound a nightmare last few days, mainly the Eurostar I think and as well as anything between Ebbsfleet and St Pancras after a tunnel got flooded.

    There's one back street boozer still open, The Victoria.

    That was packed out night before Christmas Eve, so still a clientele for those places.

    Maybe just the one though. Gutted about the Park as it was a top old boozer. But only ever went twice a year so not like I helped keep it open!

    One thing I hate, really hate is these dicks who go on these holidays and feel it's perfectly fine to load their plates with enough food to sink a ship, only to leave half of it, then do the same with the dessrts, whole families of them
    Don't worry Robert will be getting his 2euro tip, he's earned it.

    The best I saw was a few years ago at a half board hotel. A women, at breakfast, got a couple of empty sandwich containers out of her bag and proceeded to fill them up. She didn’t even try to be discreet, just sat there a made a packed lunch for 2!!!!
