A few friends have a thing for the Oval, but last time I was there, there was a leak from the ceiling, right about where the toilets are located above. Mentioned it to a staff members as he passed and he didn't seem to care about it.

The fact is the hipster crowd is an amobea, its a growing entity, it will lay waste to your favourite pub and make it generic like everything else it gets its grubby little hipster hands on ! :P

Are your so called hipsters violent? aggressive? loud? rude? smelly? what is your fear? Or is just than many of them don't like sport the way real men should? I really would love to know what the actual problem people have when they bang on about "hipsters".

Music can't be considered any good unless it's some wanky obscure sh*te. For people who profess to embrace individuality they're obsessed with the trappings of capitalism and all end up adopting the same arsehole-style of dress. One minute they're banging on about organic veganism and save the planet, the next they're raving about iPhones and the latest gadgets. Personally if someone wants to dress like a limp-wristed ponce in skinny jeans or wax a Barnum and Baileys moustache or smoke stinking rollies I couldn't care less; if people want to look like pussies that's their own prerogative. What winds me up though, is when this is accompanied by a too-cool-for-school sense of superiority toward anyone who doesn't buy into their pseudo-intellectual, faux-artistic b*llocks. So yes, in other words, having these w*nkers invade a pub is a tad annoying for some.

I know, most peoples pubs here have been the older ones which are a dying breed but, as a bog standard pub, the oak has nice staff, reasonable prices, decent door staff, fairly mixed crowd and regularly good bands. Or perhaps I'm just showing my age !
