Is it me or has the new landlady at The Duke fucked it up big time???!!!!I've been drinking at that pub for years and always loved the fact that, unlike so many other Brixton/Clapham hang-outs, it was only ever had a lovely/interesting/messed up crowd not a load of poncy wankers/trustifarians. You always knew you could turn up to The Duke as late as you like as they seemed to have no perception of closing time, you could always put a quality tune on the juke box and have a cheeky smoke in thewicked ramshackle garden, home to a Brixton community in it's own right!Since the change in management it's completely shit. Alright, the newly refurbished garden and BBQ are cool......but the people????!!!! It's full of those rich bastards who have moved to the area to live in their private converted mansion blocks and be able to say they are cool and live in Saaarrrrffff Laaannnddan. The landlady also seems to think that if you are a pub in this day and age you MUST have RANDOM LEATHER SOFA'S and a SHIT DJ playing shit faceless dance tunes at a decible rate so loud you can't fucking think.....Don't get me wrong...I like change...I even like bars with leather sofas and loud music....but ITS A FUCKING PUBBBBBB!!!!! I want warm beer, fat old menregulars propping up the bar, old school juke box classics and being able to hear myself have a conversation with my mates. IF I WANTED TO DANCE TO BEATS I'D GO TO A CLUB!IF WE ALL RALLY TOGHETHER......THE NEW LANDLADY WILL HAVE TO STOP THIS CHANGE MADNESS!!!Up with the drinkers....down with the Nu-school Clapham yuppies.............and no offence to the landylady I'm sure she's lovely on the inside.......
