@Giles …but do you think that it can compete with the Star

…and it looks like it’s temporarily closed. Something happen?

[Giles]

Massive refurb....Not exactly sure what is going on internally, but the rear garden is looking amazing......

@Giles I hope that the rooftop bar will be strongly influenced by the original purpose

[goosehd]

@Giles …I don’t believe you and may need to view it myself

Anyone else believe him?

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I’ll believe it when I see it with my own eyes

[Giles]

And to think I have to put up with boring old Gosport when just a ferry ride away, Portsmouth really knows how to rock n roll (as reported in the magnificent Portsmouth News ....

That’s one of the most British things I’ve seen.

[Giles]

Makes one proud

@Giles that may be first article I’ve read in the Torygraph since it was only available in paper form.

Made me a little sad. I know we rag on the place here, but I never find it anything other than charming, in a rundown, definitively English sort of way. Outside of IH, everyone I’ve ever met in Gosport has been smiling and friendly. Even in The Fox!

[Giles]

I was chatting to a mate about it earlier, in fact the mate who send me the article. We agreed that Gosport is a honest little town, the concept of keeping up with the Jones is an unknown concept it has no pretensions and just about everyone is friendly. I'll take this over aspirational Ponceyvilles every day of the week.....
