In the days when they spoke a bit "apples and pears"

Sadley the cockney language has been replaced with this "innit" and "bruva" gangster crap now,

Little bit of British History...How sad that the community spirit has been destroyed.

Young Maureen Lipman :)

@PorkyPiggles In that case come down there around 9pm on a Friday evening. It must be worth a visit for two reasons... To see what it looks like inside and also to see what the RnR thing is about :) There is a group in there on most Fridays and some Sats. You on Facebook?

@g6rikable I'm sorry if my comment offended you. It wasn't a criticism. I think it's great pub with a real atmosphere but I wish it had a more regular crowd.

I was being (or trying to be) mildly poetic and melancholic about the Teddy's because the original Teddy era has long gone. I'm not deriding anybody. It actually brings a smile to my face when I see the Teddy's outside The Pav with the occasional 60's Ford Consul parked up. Nostalgia cannot be ridiculed, I love it.

@PokyPiggies We don't desperately cling onto our look and it's Teddy not Teddie. The pub is probably not much changed since the sixties (Not a bad thing). The area has changed as Nine Elms disappeared the day the rail yards did. Most of those Teds that you deride are from the Battersea area and at least some are from the era of the film (and dare I say those same hard-working people that you mention. or better still, come down to thepub on a Friday night and explain it to us PERSONALLY.

Can anyone tell me the name of the song playing in the background by the band, beginning from around 0:28?

The DVD is finally available..at HMV £7.00..Just watched it the other night Fabulous...would love if they released Poor Cow with Carol White

Nice to Adrienne Posta. A talented girl who was just wasted

[Ricordato88]

What is the name of the song the girls sing?

[PorkyPiggles]

@TheDiva1963 The area has certainly lost its soul. I went past the Pavillion pub the other night. There was a rock 'n roll band playing and a couple of Teddie boys having a fag outside, desperately clinging onto their look. I imagined how the pub would have been in its day, all the hard-nosed, hard-working people of Battersea New Town (as that area was officially called) making the most of what they had. That particular part of Battersea and Nine Elms won't be recognisable in 15 years.
