Great Idea

Its the The William IV Pub, in Shepherdess Walk, Islington

been in there a few times myself

Great idea. Good on them.

Good PUBlicity :)

I think it may get overloaded

:laugh: nice pun

An elderly lady in Devon has booked all the tables in her local pub and has invited people who are on their own to join her.

I hope this pub does well in business after Christmas is over, as it's a brilliant gesture.

That was nice of Kizzy :hehe:

What a great idea...feel some will abuse it though

Thats a really good idea too...we invivted a few single mates for dinner at ours (just to be nice tbh...) but thankfully they all declined so now I can go to my dads for dinner instead of having to cook :joker:

:hehe:

:laugh:

It is a brilliant idea and a great thing to do, it would be nice if far more did so too and also all the Churches too, instead of preaching to everyone else that they should be doing something, while doing not a thing themselves.

This year I won't have to cook for Christmas. My sister will! :cheer2::dance:

They are probably expecting to recoup the cost of food on Bar Sales.




.

Bit cynical Nedusa :laugh: I doubt the people who will take up the offer of a free meal will be flashing the cash at the bar

Yeah, those homeless tramps will be splashing the cash on vodka shots.

That's lovely! Good christmas spirit :)

That is very kind I hope their good nature is not abused.

Bitch... :laugh:

Cynical ---- But probably true.

If I have read Marsh correctly he was being sarcastic rather than cynical

Correct. :laugh:

:bigsmile::bigsmile:

what a lovely idea - and if it gets them publicity - they deserve it. as i TT - i will be going.

You have my unreserved apology Marsh - and to make it up to you I'll take you out for Sunday Dinner at The William IV Pub, in Shepherdess Walk, Islington on Dec 21st, and I'll take care of the bill. Remember to dress down though Marsh. :laugh2:

:joker: Go WaterHog for your free dinner
You deserve it, you're a winner
As a poet you're a man of fable
So Marsh 'n me 'll be on the next table.

:amazed:

I don't need to wash. :flutter:

Hog take a snap shot of your Meal
go early
as so many will go.

No, I agree but the publicity for the pub should bring in many customers happy to spend a few quid in pub that actually cares about less fortunate people.

Maybe I'm being too cynical but I don't think when the dust settles they will be too much out of pocket.

No that would the one Up North

In London
we are honest more

Oh I see what you mean, not bad business though and some full bellys too

:clap1:

What a fantastic thing to do ! I hope Cameron & co choke on their dinners

aww how lovely!

we were going to invite a homeless or troubled person to our house for christmas, but then I told my mum that it's probably not the best of ideas, and that we should go to a soup kitchen instead...

so now on christmas day we're going to help make christmas dinner for the homeless :D

that did make me lol I nearly spat me pepsi max out :joker:
