Always a crowded but friendly dive, owner Jack Prince bought the joint next door several years ago and knocked out a wall, so that now you can even sit down, enjoy the dusty PBR ads on the wall or, even better, listen to live music.
Some want the party to support the tax cuts likely to be proposed in the PBR.
Taxpayers are furious.Hence the one-off 50% payroll tax at source on bank bonuses over £25,000 announced in the PBR.
It is time, in other words, for the government to come up with a credible plan for reining in the deficit.Alistair Darling, the chancellor of the exchequer, has signally failed to do that in the PBR.
As chancellor, Mr Brown has been able to run his life according to a calendar of largely set-piece occasions, such as this week's PBR.
But he will nevertheless be grateful for a bone to throw to growling critics in his own party.For both parties, much now rests on the PBR.
Others of her 2010 parliamentary intake who are interested in the matter include Claire Perry, a fast-rising Conservative MP, and Caroline Lucas, Parliament's sole elected Green.For both Ms Chapman and Ms Perry, payment by results (PBR) may be the key to success.
It usually involves a lot of baby steps over a long time, criminal-justice folk say, not the one-off switch between criminality and good behaviour that existing PBR pilot projects on reoffending assume.There is another drawback too.
Wholesale bundling up of offenders and their problems may be cheaper to manage but yield worse results.The second is whether payment-by-results (PBR) is appropriate for probation.
