Comments on: The What Pub Next? Club https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/12/11/the-what-pub-next-club/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Wed, 09 Aug 2017 15:12:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.2 By: Rob https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/12/11/the-what-pub-next-club/#comment-1162220 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 15:12:11 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=141437#comment-1162220 What a splendid article. I write as one of the sons of Sid Cumberland (ibid.). It is true that Sid was a stalwart of the WPNC for many years. His little finger was not quite severed in the incident referred to, but it was a deep cut. If I remember rightly, a somewhat jollity-impaired Australian pal attempted light-hearted revenge on Sid with the shears that night, and Sid was wounded protecting his own tie. He, of course, was not returning down under, and as an Englishman resident here retained full rights to the sacred neckwear. Thanks for the memories.

The salmon wasn’t bad either.

Nice article.
