Talking Pubs With Publican Pat From The Victoria - The Victoria, #Bermondsey, #London, #SE1

We have an in-depth discussion with Pat, an experienced landlord, a true south Londoner, and, most of all, an absolute gentleman. We discuss his beautiful pub and the good times it's had. We also delve into many subjects relating to the modern pub scene and how it contrasts with the past. This man has more stories and knowledge than most people with published autobiographies. I could listen to him all day, especially in relation to all he's seen within the rough yet united areas south of the river. We'd like to thank him deeply for giving us his time and for sharing his thoughts and feelings on the past and present. We'd also like to thank you all for following us, watching our content, and for sharing our work. It means the world to us. 🤝🍻

I am by no means a fan of the Krays, but I do find it amazing that many villains of the past still looked ten times smarter than the majority of office workers today.

I will never know of a sight with a higher abundance of cultural brilliance than that of Britain's lost and living pubs.

When she tried to tell you not to wear one of your many barbour jackets.

How close was I?

Yesterday's "yob" is a gentleman by today's standards. ⏳️

Suggs from 'Madness' discusses the first time he saw the 'Specials' in the "Hope and Anchor" pub (207 Upper St, Islington, London N1) which had hosted many famous bands such as U2, The Police, and The Stranglers. Pubs really have given us more than we could ever give them.

Oh, to be on a beano to Margate with the crew in simpler times. 🏆

Now I've has some shaving cuts in my time, but this one's biblical. The bathroom literally looks like a crimescene

Imagine calling a pub like this an "eyesore plot" instead of suggesting it should be saved by any means possible. What a disingenuous, untrustworthy press we have.

One of the many reasons that people are especially addicted to their phones is because, unlike our recent ancestors, you can no longer innocently enjoy English scenery in the knowledge that life is good when we all know bloody well that it isn't.

This is what a good woman looks like.

The more that time goes on, the more I want to go back.
