Thanks for the list of pubs in Union Rd. JellyBaby. I served my apprenticeship to drinking up Ossy and have some good memories of them good old days. Can you tell me if there was a pub down Straits I think it may have been called The Falcoln. It was closed down when I used to go up there.

The Falcon was on Mill Hill, closed in the 50s its a private house now, a mate of mine lives there at the moment

I now find this is now a trendy alternative to a hangover cure between my son and his mates .. they drink gallons of the stuff after a night out !
